"Walking" your trigger has never been easier.  Be sure not to screw stop screw too far or the microswtich might stop clicking.  Average installation time: less than 10 minutes.

Full Force (MSRP $34.95) and Icepick Bolts (MSRP $39.95)

New Full Force replacement bolt for Spyders (pictured Left) or Black Draguns. Drilled and tapped 10-32 to use with autococker cocking rods. Made from Delrin. Smoother than the stock aluminum bolt. Prevents scarring found in guns using stock parts. Rides on two o-rings around the air inlet, to prevent any air loss. Open face design is great for low pressure operation. Allows the air to flow freely, instead of impeding air flow like the stock venturi design. Installation requires transfer of stock bolt lug and set screw to new bolt.  Same as Check It Black Dragun Full Force Bolt but drilled and tapped 10-32 in back of bolt to accomodate autococker cocking rods or set screws. (Cocking rod not included, utilizes stock bolt pin).  Make sure you screw your cocking rod in straight.  Average installation time: less than 10 minutes.

New Full Force Icepick bolt (pictured right) is made from Delrin. Smoother than the stock aluminum bolt. Prevents scarring found in guns using stock parts. Rides on two o-rings around the air inlet, to prevent any air loss. Open face design is great for low pressure operation.
