What ever happened to the "Jam Bolt" or mechanical anti-chop go?
I've been a big fan of the L10 bolt and now the Tippmann ACT. Both are great systems and do the job well. But if I had to choose between the 2 I would have to go with the ACT. What are your thoughts?

I heard the ACT had lots of issues. Did Tippmann address those?

My 98 Custom performs flawless.

I've never had anything but problems with the ACT, and I get just as many chops with it as without it. The Jam bolt & Spyder bolts work OK. LX was the best mech solution I've used. Over all I must say I definatly prefer a good set of eyes.

Armor piercing .50 cals.....It actually covers the foregrip and hose going to the valve assy....

Gotta go with break beam my self. It's just a head ache when they get dirty. Having both a mechanical sys and eye combo has its advantages....

I heard that when they first debuted. Do you know if Tippmann ever addressed the issue(from my understanding it was a manufacturing process issue).

I was worried about chops on my mech autococker...but then I got the best anti-chop device I could get my hands on.

a halo loader.

kinda hard to chop balls when the loader is much faster than I can con the marker into cycling.
