The Lapco bolt allows the second ball to sink further into the breech, then the authentic Nelspot bolt, which is rather fat.
With the Redux, the Freak insert butts up against a lip ahead of the breech. Yes, but when the ball is pushed into the breech, does the ball end up in the barrel? If yes... Then your breaks are not due to balls getting sliced by the lip on the barrel.
When you cock the gun, the ball is pushed up a mild ramp (more mild a ramp than the Phantom - see this thread: Redux bolt & snub: milled bevel on bolt (Mongo? Help?)) from the breech into the Freak insert. |
Take the gun aprt, and with the barrel off, and see where the ball rests at before the trigger is pulled.
