The bolt bumper on my 09 UL SLG is wearing unreasonably quickly.

The Inflicted · 06-08-2009, 11:25 PM

I have not been impressed with the rate at which my 09 UL SLG seems to be tearing up its rear bolt bumpers. It shredded the one that came on the gun in less than a case. I cleaned everything, installed a fresh one, lubed up the bolt, and after about 800 shots yesterday it now looks like this:

Why is the gun destroying its seals so quickly?

Here's a shot of both seals.
The one off the gun only had a case of use before disintegrating

Have you checked for burrs in the slots where the bolt resides? Also you have to check the inside bolt chamber for any rough spots that would cause it to wear so quickly.

I really think they just had a 5 year old design the 09 slg.. the rails on them are complete crap too. They use a set screw kinda thing through the weak plastic grip frame so it tears out really easily forcing you to have to buy a real rail for the gun.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but is there anywhere you can find the bolt bumpers, other than in the medium or complete repair kit? Are there any substitutions?

You could probably call Proto or Dye and they might send you one.

Found that Paintball Gateway has them for sale for $3 each. I noticed that the 08 SLG's didn't have this bumper on their bolt. Is it absolutely necessary on the 09's?

its probably not necessary.. the use of the bumper is likely only to help absorb any kick the bolt is putting into the body of the marker.
