Bolster Tuned Airsoft Platforms

If you have plans to upgrade an SMG-5 to shoot like a laser beam, with the rate of fire of a minigun, why bother doing all the legwork and fine-tuning yourself? The CM.041 SMG-5 Patrol Base X Gate ASTER Upgraded Edition has been put together by the same team that built the ultra-high-end Bolster Armouries ONYX AEG series, and benefits from all the experience and expertise gained from a lifetime of Airsoft tech work, with the unique insight only a Bolster Armouries technician can provide.

The first thing the Bolster Armouries team do with the CM.041 is to tear it to pieces and build it back up to fulfil its true potential; replacing the basic CYMA ETU with the space-aged Gate ASTER ETU, modifying the HOP-up for better air seal and setting retention, and dropping in a Lonex Air Seal nozzle and Prometheus Purple HOP-up rubber. Unlike other custom Airsoft gun services, Bolster Tuned platforms are all pre-built and ready to ship the next day with no lead time!

A lot of work was put in to refine the mass-produced CYMA gearbox and make it run like a Bolster. The inner surfaces of the gearbox have been polished for reduced friction and modified to house the ASTER ETU. The cylinder windows have been radiused to increase the strength of the shell to withstand the force of repeated piston impacts, and the bearing holes in the gearbox shell have been smoothed out. The angle of engagement has also been corrected, meaning 11.1V LiPo's are a go for the upgraded CM.041 so you can hose the enemy down with a torrent of BBs like a fireman hoses a blaze.

With upgrades added and work done, the price has increased, but by a far smaller margin than it would if you took a stock CM.041 to a technician and paid for this amount of work to be done. Finally, we can pick up and play with an exceptionally well-built AEG with all the fine-tuning necessary for exceptional performance already complete, and done with care, to an exacting standard. When we tested this AEG we were flabbergasted. 330 FPS on the dot with remarkable consistency, 60m+ effective range and an absolutely scary rate of fire of 25 rounds per second; more than enough to outshoot anything else you can buy off the shelf!

If you are an AK fan with high standards, you will want to check this out! The Bolster Armouries tech team have turned their attention to the CM.045 AKS-74U High Speed Edition to give it the same internal overhaul as they did the CM.041G & CM.041H, giving it the Gate ASTER treatment along with some other choice upgrades and a full gearbox rebuilt to ensure the stock parts perform at the peak of efficiency.

Like the SMG-5 that came before it, the Patrol Base X Gate ASTER edition of the CM.045 has had a full internal overhaul by the Bolster Armouries tech team. The Prometheus Purple HOP-up bucking a nub replace the original setup to give the CM.045 exceptional range which is very unlike a short-barrelled AEG. The internal engagement surfaces have been polished, as have the piston tracks, and any imperfections in the gearbox shell have been cleaned up to guarantee smooth running and long term performance. Waldo Customs lube replaces the original Chinese lube, and the right amounts have been applied in all the right places. The stock tightbore inner barrel is polished and inspected for flaws, and if it doesn't pass a 60m accuracy test it goes back to the bench for more work.

If you love the idea of a high performance AK AEG but you would rather it be built by some of the most experienced technicians in the country, here is your opportunity to pick one up!

We have been waiting for this one! The Bolster Armouries team have finally caved in to numerous staff requests for a sneaky counterpart to the Patrol Base X Gate ASTER upgraded SMG-5 AEGs. Enter the CM.041 SD6 SMG-5 Patrol Base X Gate ASTER Upgraded Edition; a full metal SMG-5 SD6 built by the same team behind the ultra-high-end Bolster Armouries ONYX AEG series and the previous Patrol Base X Gate ASTER SMG-5 AEGs. 

As with its less discrete brethren, the first thing the Bolster Armouries team do with the CM.041 SD6 is to tear it to pieces and built it back up to fulfil its true potential; installing the space-aged Gate ASTER ETU, modifying the HOP-up for better air seal and setting retention, and dropping in a Lonex Air Seal nozzle and Prometheus Purple HOP-up rubber.

If you are a big fan of the SMG-5K but want to reach out and contend with the bigger AEGs, the Bolster Tuned CYMA CM.041L SMG-5K is the only one that can do it! This Upgraded AEG has been built and tuned by the expert technicians at Bolster Armouries and features the incredible Gate ASTER MOSFET, Prometheus Purple HOP-up rubber and nub, an extended 260mm 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel and an enhanced Type C cylinder from FPS Softair.

Not content with simply dropping parts in, the Bolster team has carried out a professional shim job, a complete gearbox rebuild, reapplication of high quality lubricants and a HOP-up unit modification to maximise efficiency and consistency. The result of this extensive tuning and parts replacements is an AEG we can confidently say will hit out to 60m + accurately with 0.28g BBs and rip off rounds at an astonishing 25 rounds per second with an 11.1V LiPo battery.

As with other Bolster Tuned/Patrol Base Custom platforms, if this high benchmark for performance is not met, the AEG goes back to the workbench for more work and won't be sold until it meets the teams' lofty standards. If you like the idea of using a tiny AEG and outranging all the big boys, the Bolster Tuned CYMA CM.041L SMG-5K Upgraded AEG is what you need to get the job done!

Introducing the Bolster Tuned TTI JW2 M4/AR-15, a professionally upgraded AEG platform based on the EMG TTI JW2, boasting many of the biggest names in aftermarket upgrade parts put together by the same talented techs that brought you Bolster Armouries. Unlike other custom Airsoft gun services, Bolster Tuned platforms are all pre-built and ready to ship the next day with no lead time!

The Tuned JW2 builds upon the already impressive base platform and irons out all the creases, adding in a plethora of low friction, high strength enhancements to the gearbox itself. These include an FPS Softair O-ring equipped air nozzle and carbon fibre reinforced tappet plate, Bolster's own EZO bearings, M115 spring and stainless steel sector gear screws, a Laylax Hard Selector plate and the gorgeous Gate Quantum flat blade trigger.

The Quantum is paired with the incredibly advanced Gate ASTER MOSFET, offering 250 different trigger sensitivity settings, pre-cocking, programmable fire controls and much more via the Gate USB link or Gate Control Station app. To deliver the speed it needs to bury the original EMG CYMA Platinum JW2, the Bolster team saw fit to install the Warhead Base 27K Brushless motor, providing unparalleled heat dispersion qualities and speed to rival the very best.

With upgrades added and work done, the price has increased, but by a far smaller margin than it would if you took a stock JW2 to a technician and paid for this amount of work to be done. Finally, we can pick up and play with an exceptionally well-built AEG with all the fine-tuning necessary for exceptional performance already complete, and done with care, to an exacting standard. When we tested this AEG we were flabbergasted. 348 FPS on the dot with remarkable consistency, 60m+ effective range and an absolutely scary rate of fire of 25 rounds per second using an 11.1V Lipo; more than enough to outshoot anything else you can buy off the shelf!

The Quantum is paired with the incredibly advanced Gate ASTER MOSFET, offering 250 different trigger sensitivity settings, pre-cocking, programmable fire controls and much more via the Gate USB link or Gate Control Station app. To deliver the speed it needs to bury the original EMG CYMA Platinum N4 Shorty, the Bolster team saw fit to install the Warhead Base 27K Brushless motor, providing unparalleled heat dispersion qualities and speed to rival the very best. While the original is quite impressive, the Bolster Tuned version is the next level up.
