Sniperland

Okay, got to play with the Wolverine Bolt today, with my Bar 10 as the Guinea pig.

Now, this one is a prototype. It was just the bolt, without the wolverine cylinder. Also, I was not allowed to take any photos or video, since this is a prototype and the final version will have differences.

So, here goes...

First, fit. This is where issues will arise if you don't buy the full kit, which comes with a cylinder. The Bolt has its own cylinder head. It is designed to the specs of the Tokyo Marui VSR 10 cylinder, which has an internal diameter of around 22.45mm. So, I found that the Bar 10 cylinder is a perfect fit, but Well cylinders are too small. And, oddly enough, the Action Army cylinder inner diameter is actually slightly too large. I don't think Wolverine had much of a choice.

So, just remove everything from the cylinder, drop in the Bolt, and screw on the head, taking care to run the wiring/contact switch out the slot.

Next, the trigger. It is a small, simple contact trigger. It is intended to be used with the stock trigger. You attach the switch up against the little block that sick out the side of the trigger. It's the block that engages the safety lever. When you pull the trigger, the block moves forward and pushes the contact switch. And let me tell you, it is a light, short, insanely short pull. I'm talking maybe 2mm of pull on the trigger. Incredibly responsive. You can also, just remove the sear entirely.

Now, one issue I found with the trigger. Since it is a contact switch, you'll want to use the safety as much as possible. It will fire EVERY time you pull the trigger, meaning, you could dry fire it all day long without charging the cylinder, which wastes air and battery power. The only reason for moving the cylinder is to load a round. USE THE SAFETY. We did have to grin a space at the bottom of the trigger housing to run the wiring of the contact switch.

Now, the cylinder. A hole has to be drilled on the bottom of the receiver, for the air line. Simple enough job. Now, there are a load of options when running your line. You can drill a hole in your stock and run it out the bottom, or run the line into your butt to use with the forthcoming Wraith. It will be up to you. For testing purposes, we didn't bother with the stock.

So, once it was all together, we hooked it up to a tank in the test fire area.

Amazing. The cylinder pull is literally effortless. It feels weird at first, but you get used to it. And the pull to charge? Maybe 2 inches at the most! You don't have to pull even that far! Just pull far enough for a bb to feed into the hop up. You can literally fire 2 to 3 rounds a second! It's that effortless and that fast. I was astounded how easy it was to cycle.

Numbers. Tank was set to 120psi, giving a consistent 440fps, on, I believe, .20 rounds. And I mean CONSISTENT with every shot. And it is insanely quiet. If I had my suppressor on, you would have been hard pressed to hear it past 10 feet. It really was that quiet.

I am stoked. It is an amazing piece of tech that is going to do wonders for snipers. The shop I was at is already talking of building custom rifles with the Bolt preinstalled.

The only "disadvantage" I see so far, is the fact that it will fire every time you pull the trigger. Not really dangerous...just wasteful of air and battery juice. Oh, and for those worried about the battery? Dont. It will last a long time. I'll take that hair trigger any day.

Now, the other concern was zero triggers. While not designed for them, Chris, my buddy at the shop said there are a variety of different types of contact switches out there, so it should be possible to get it working with upgraded triggers.

But I say, why? Just use the stock trigger. It's so much easier. As for the cylinder fit issues, if you don't have a TM or Bar 10 cylinder, just buy the Bolt kit that comes with the cylinder.

So, my final opinion. TAKE MY MONEY DAMMIT! The Bolt is everything they promised. It is an effortless pull to charge, speeds up your rounds per second, and gives you a literal hair trigger. Mated with the Wraith Co2 adapter, it will make your rifle absolutely consistent. I'm serious. My shoulder and arm are really messed up with scar tissue and nerve damage. I charged the cylinder with a flick of my wrist and NO PAIN. Heck, you could literally cut a little of your stock and turn it into a straight pull, making it cycle even faster.

Oh, I will add, unless you are an experienced tech, especially with HPA systems, LET THE SHOP INSTALL IT! There are a couple of times you'll be grinding and drilling. Let the professionals do it, and learn from them

I want to thank Chris and Thomas at BG Airsoft in Bowling Green, Ky, for letting my rifle be the Guinea pig for the Bolt. BG Airsoft specializes in HPA systems and create the most fantastic custom weapons. And now they'll be adding custom HPA sniper rifles to their shop. Check out their shop, or their website.

And yes, BG Airsoft is accepting preorders for the Bolt, and hopefully soon, the Wraith.
