I got my empire 2 today. I'm breaking it apart. I took the bolt off and it looks like there's 2 o-rings that should go on the end of this bolt. the slots are there, but no o-rings. should there be 2 o-rings there?
I just read in another thread about the pillow bolts. Is this a pillow bolt in the empire 2? it looks like the pillowbolt on ebay. If it isn't does anyone have a preference? thanks for looking...

what color is the bolt? if its white and has 4 holes i believe in the front of it, its the stock, if it is black, and had a squishy rubber pillod in the bolt face, then it is the pillow bolt, and the 2 orings on the front of the bolt are there to get rid of blowback, they are not completely necessary, but it will help prevent chops.

I download the PDF file and seen that it's a stock bolt, and o-rings go on the front. If I put some o-rings on it will it slow the bolt down?
Now I know it's not a pillow bolt. Do you know where to get one? Thanks for the reply..

Also I would like to get a census of what settings everybody uses. This is my first marker past a 2k2.

it wont slow the bolt much, i wouldnt worry about that, a well tuned 06 timmy can get lpr pressures at or below 55 psi and i know a few that are running so smooth that they have less kick than some of the new egos, and they have the stock bolt and all the o-rings, for a pillow bolt look at some of the online retailers and boblongdirect.com, i hope that helps.
