I need some help here. Would a Starfire bolt be worth getting for my Tippmann m98? I am debating if I should get one. Also, are they difficult to install?

They are easy to put on but break a lot. I personally dont think you should get it. Stick with the stock bolt or a stock design aluminum.
The stock bolt is plastic but it doesnt break cuz it is all one piece. The starfire is two piece. the part where the link rod goes into the bolt breaks off on some of the pro team bolts.
Okay, lets say that the bolt wouldn't break at all. (Even though it would) Does the bolt make the ball shoot farther? Better accuracy? Stuff like that.
If you have a J&J two piece barrel then the bolt wont fit unless you machine the front of the bolt down a little bit. The part where the link rod goes in sometimes isn't deep enough which requires drilling and more machine work. As for accuracy, if you get the bolt on and working without chopping balls, then it only helps a little bit. If you want to spend $18.00 on it then go right ahead but if I were you I would get a rva or rear cocker. If you already have then, then get a regular design aluminum bolt AND powertube. O yea and by the way, the pro team is basically the sameas the star fire bolt and has all the same problems.
