Bolts, Bolts and more Bolts
The purpose of this review is to compare and contrast the
differences between the different aftermarket bolts available for the Impulse.
Bolts 101
Most aftermarket bolts are made of Delrin
or a Delrin like substance for two reasons. First to reduce the weight of the bolt
and second to eliminate the need for o-rings and therefore lower the amount of maintenance
needed.
The bolts are listed in alphabetical order.
