i have 160 dollars and im thinking getting a new bolt system for iti already have a halo hopper for it so ill probably get a quick feed for my hopper then after that ill get a violent trigger for it but i just wanted an opinion on what i should do first thanks.
Don't replace the boltNot as worth it as you thinkThe stock bolt is already really light, and that's the main feature of an aftermarket bolt - being lighter than stock, to reduce the force needed to move itStock bolt is a short, hollow aluminum tube, the thing is light enoughIf you really want to upgrade something in the body, get a spring kitThe bolt has a spring-assisted return, and a spring kit allows you to adjust the force of that return, and inversely, the force of working against the spring when the bolt is moved forwardQuick feed for the Halo is a great ideaPretty common upgradeI personally like Exalt Feedgates - relatively cheap compared to others, better than the classic Speed Feeds, easy to dump paint in yet still prevents paint from falling outTriggers are personal preferenceViolent Products make sick triggersDon't have as many adjustments as, say, the Critical triggers, but they're super light and the magnet gives it a good snap, which is my personal preferenceReally, the best first upgrade for a Mini is the Empire Relay asaSince the Mini's asa is also its regulator, you don't have any other replacement optionsAnd it has no on/off, so taking the tank off is a painBut the Relay has an on/off, thank jeebusCosts $80, which is half your budget but it's worth it.
sweet pea it does not matter the size of your pan, just make the recipe and use what you can, or cut back a little accordingly.
