well, as far as aftermarket bolts for the LED go, the most common are the Shocktech bolt, and the DEZigns bolt. The Shocktech bolt claims to boost air efficency through a ramped air inlet and angel exhaust ports, as well as wider openings. The shocktech bolt has mixed reviews from LED users, some claiming to get excelent boosts, some claiming to get none, and some having more problems with the bolt than they did from their stock bolt. The Shocktech bolt is available from www.paintballgear.com for 24.95 under the Angel Upgrades section. (not sure if this is the one for LED or LCD? - if your really interested..try emailing customer service or soemthing) The DEZigns bolt is offered in both open faced design, as well as a venturi design. In addition, you can have the bolt made of either standard delrin, or a sort of nylonish type material called ertalyte (sp?). These bolts carry much better reviews as far as durability and performance, but in the end you pay for the quaility, because as opposed to being made massly by machines as the Shoctech bolt is, the Dezigns bolt is made by hand by an individual man. Therefore, the bolts cost more. I think they are around $65, althoough i may be wrong, it has been a while since i got mine. To look more into DEZigns bolts, check out his site, (http://www.geocities.com/dezignbolts/). For reviews on both bolts, check out www.pbreview.com and you could also check out this thread (http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57500). it is a massive review thread, if you look part way down the page, you'll see a huge review posted by Wonder Bread. Read it, he used an LCD, but im sure that its similar enough to relate back to LEDs.
Personally, if your a little iffy about spending a lot of money on a bolt, stick with the stock one, its not that bad at all. For most people aftermarket bolts give a variety of different outcomes which really depends on your current set up and settings.Well i hope that helps and didnt complicate things.

I have both a stock LED bolt plus the shocktech bolt Limitdliability mentioned and I've switched back to the stock bolt.the gun just seems to shoot better with the stock bolt so I don't argue with it.
