Try a thin layer of e-tape.
Did that with the coupler on my BBB and it works wonderfully, although i screw it on instead of just pushing it in.

Nice job.
You've done to Titan Missles what stefans did to regular darts. An alternative ammunition.

I'm sorry to say sir.. but if you'll look at my modifications to the inside of the light's shell, i did not cut out ALL the pieces of the inner tactical light shell.Well, I did have a spare tactical light (ripped it off of my BBB 2 or 3 days ago) and I did have a spare Nite-Finder (ripped it off that same BBB 2 or 3 days ago...after the barrel fell off). SOOOO, I got to work, what happened was I gutted the crud outa everthing in the tac. light, crayola (yes crayola, no roseart for me...but it's the same color, yellow...) and hot glued the plunger in. Now I just feel like I wasted a perfectly good Nite-finder and Tactical Light. Why you ask? Well it's almost done, and since we're leaving for vacation tommorow I won't be able to work on it for 4 days. My only problem is the catch, it's just there, loose, so then gun is uncockable, and whenever you do try to cock it, either 1 of 2 things happen:
1. The entire plunger rod flies out along with the spring and cocking mechanism.
2. You bend the catch spring, you are able to pull the plunger rod back, yet it doesn't cock
because the catch spring isn't firmly mounted on the bottom so you just have to slide the
plunger rod back to the uncocked position.
I did take picturesbut I haven't uploaded them yet.
EDIT: (here are the picture[s]!) sorry for the bad quality
Just to see if I gutted anything extra, from your pics, it looks like I gutted alot more then I should've.
I DID TAKE THE HOT GLUE OFF (well actually when I cocked it the hot glue ripped off)
Also, the light is upside down, if you look closely you can see that
**Posting a picture edited to explain how i put every thing in**

I cut up the barrel extension for the Recon, just the bottom rail.Very nice modification, makes me want to buy another tactical light for that reason. Also, what rail was on your BBB when you attached it onto the BBB, it doesn't look familiar.
It fit pretty well, I also took the rail connection piece (whatever you call it) that holds whatever onto the rail. This way i can put a NF or something on the other side.

I would've used NF guts, but i didn't have a spare one.
This kind of started out with me being afraid to really integrate anything with anything else permanently.
But now i can equip and un-equip as i please.

Now a write-up.
So I was messing around one day with my disc shot and i ended up just taking it apart. Took out the plunger tube and noticed i had a spare Tactical Light laying around. I then took that apart and saw what space it had inside it.
I got to working.
I took about 3 or so hours cutting out and removing any pieces inside that were just taking up space, and kept the parts that i could use to help fit the plunger tube with more snugly than just having it sitting inside.
EDIT: This is how I went about cutting all the internal shell pieces in order to fit the tube & such:
This was my original plan for the internals:
Turns out the PVC wasn't doing any good, so i took it out.
Another angle (with PVC):
Barrel stabilization was simple, just trim the hole up where the light used to be so the end of the plunger would fit. Barrel would be added on later.
End product:
I used a roseart barrel instead of anything heavy, mainly due to the fact that i've never seen a piece of brass in my town or anywhere near where i live.
EDIT: I ended up having the original hot glued barrel come off, so i gooped it on later.
Top View:
I didn't do anything fancy with the trigger mech. Just pressing down the catch plate was enough to function as a trigger.
EDIT: Working on a trigger of some sort.
Ranges:
Flat: 40-50 ft.
Angled: 1,000,000 ft. (I kid, i kid..)
It fits just like any other accessory with the tactical rail on it. Thats the beauty.
Other stats:
-Used a slightly stretched Sharpshooter II spring
-Will most commonly be used with my Mini Stefans™ for burst shots. Works very well for close-ranged fire fights, great addition to a long-range gun.
-Wrapped plunger head with teflon tape, then e-tape. Glued down with hot glue.
-Lubed up with silicone spray.

Interesting.
Be sure to report back once those barrels are replaced and such.

I've finally got a good Big Bad Bow mod going but I have to re-straighten the barrel constantly. Has anyone thought up a good way to keep it straight without glueing the barrel post to the inside of the case? And yes I've checked the directory for this. And searched.

Sweet, now the only thing to worry about is where you'd find spare plastic if you needed any to weld.

Look, if your serious about modding then your going to have to take a step up and learn to not be afraid to open the guns up. This is how you really mod most of the guns (with the few exceptions such as the BBB).

Very nice mod.
I've been thinking of implementing the Tactical Light (that comes in the pack of micros) into the area below the barrel of the recon, but im having trouble finding a way that it won't disrupt the clip-feed.

You're right about the fire power and the reload times. I think they would best be used in a sidearm like a pistol.
That is unless i could have pre-loaded inter-changeable barrels for the gun.

I've been experimenting with various types of ammunition for nerf guns, and since i've never been to a war before, i thought i should ask:
Are all sized stefans acceptable?
For instance if i were to make 3 or so stefans that when put end-to-end matched the length of a standard streamline, would this be acceptable to use in a war? I do this to create a nice burst fire effect.
