Sorry if this has been asked, but is the A4 bolt worth upgrading? I did some searches and read that it is good but is there better?
I saw some bolts on other sites but couldn't tell if they were going to be worth spending another $35+ inf they wont help the gun any.
Im sure a question similar to this has been asked, I did search and read several threads and got like 6+ pages of results each time.... So I gave up.

Thanks for the link!
but it says that the omega shot several over 300fps mark, but it says that was the best for the challenge? I dont get it?? From the table there it shows the stock bolt as being the closest to 285fps which he said it was chronoed at.

The A4's bolt is as close to perfect as you can get......... don't change it....

I am going to agree with TheOracle. Its a really nice bolt, and it comes with the gun. "If it aint broke, don't fix it"...

try a robert hernandez bolt, there should be a few on pbnation. the A4 bolt is nice because of the alluminum insert that prevents rollback. i never had a problem with any of that so i didnt bother....you could also go the route of custom bolts made out of different material (nylatron, TID).
i would offer to make you a nylatron or TID (teflon impregnated delrin) bolt with a soft face if our bulk supplier of delrin would get his butt in gear, but until we get the product we're stuck :(
