Steambow M10 upper problems!?!?

[@TheAArmstrong]

Glad that’s cleared up. I was paranoid of getting the M10 upper and having some bolts fly up into my face. Need to get a stock with a cheek rest for my Stinger first. Hopefully the missus buys me one for Xmas 🤞

[@SHTFpreppingUK]

Honestly, prior to you telling me I wasn't aware people were having these issues, but I always loads from the top and quite often open the upper to wax the rail. The pin could perhaps do with a slightly better design but for me, given its cost£, I'm not fussed. Still good value for money IMO

[@TheAArmstrong]

@ Yeah I get you, having a kid and rent being so high, I’m not flushed with cash, something like the Interceptor is just too expensive for me. Steambow are a good options for my budget. Still considering the Revo7 though.

[@SHTFpreppingUK]

@TheAArmstrong 10000% if the Interceptor wasn't so expensive, I probably would have bought it instead. I don't know what MEY's profit margin is but I feel like, if there's scope to, they lowered the price, they'd actually make more sales and therefore increase their overall earnings. £500, one magazine included and then a further £125 for a magazine is just too much when if you're on a budget, you can buy the M10 for £315 and an extra magazine for £63. Adding in strings, more powerful limbs and bolts you're looking at almost double the cost.

@@SHTFpreppingUK Yeah and Sprave said months before they were aiming for 400 odd quid so not sure what happened.

[@SHTFpreppingUK]

@TheAArmstrong loads of people were audibly creamy at the idea of £400 so his financial advisor suggested upping it perhaps? 🤣🤣

[@southfolk]

Nicely explained about the pin slipping out when in a side position. I think i will stick with the AR6

[@SHTFpreppingUK]

@@southfolk thanks for the comment 🙏🏻. I considered rhe AR6 before I bought the Adder. Such a tough choice with so many great little Xbows on the market!!

[@JvD1985]

Is it possible to buy a bolt with treads on it and just bolt it tight on the other end to secure it not falling out?

[@SHTFpreppingUK]

@@JvD1985 good suggestion. I thought about drilling a hole through the other side and putting a linch pin through but not sure you can buy small enough linch pins. It's genuinely not been as issue for me since buying and shooting the Xbow

[@mikemeier7228]

I have shot my ek adder for 50 shots without waxing anything, idk how many i did in total on that string but it's still the first one. The m10 bolt problem is known all over. It has a mag so you can reload fast in case of emergency. What use is a crossbow that will disassemble itself somewhere in the middle of the 2nd mag? In a training szenario, ok, it still sucks but you can adjust. If you really need that thing you dont wax or anything like that is has to work and it seems like it will let you down.

[@SHTFpreppingUK]

Thanks the comment Mike. I think the difference is that for us in the UK, we would never use this crossbow for self defence or hunting as bow hunting us illegal in the UK. In the UK this crossbow is used purely for target shooting, the magazine element is just a unique quality that makes it more desirable from a buyers standpoint. The video was really only to give my unbiased opinion on the "bolt" problem as independent videos on KZbin are good for potential buyers. Thanks again. God bless 🙏🏻
