Those are both mine, I know they look similar to what other people have done.
The NF shoots about 80' and the Recon is stock minus the air restrictor.

Darts and Barrels
I have used three different types of foam all of which got slightly bigger upon heating. I put my blanks in a pillow case in the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes and they come out very straight but slightly larger in diameter. I would recommend log home store foam it is good foam and not expensive and the stuff I have gotten from there did not shrink. My guess is that you got bad foam, maybe you got open cell instead of closed?

I know this probably gets asked a lot but where is a good place to get colored foam, something besides gray. I know log home store sells white and mile high sells black for cheap but are there other good online sites?
Where can I get good colored hot glue? (any color)
Thanks.
For what it is worth I find it helpful to melt a small hole in the end of my stefans.

That looks really good, I am going to try this on my Recon. Could you post a picture from the other side of the plunger so I can see how far in the foam goes, or could you tell me about how long you think the foam should be for a recon. Thanks!

Thanks. Yes, I think Krylon Fusion works very well, I used two coats and it looked really good and I have not had any problems with it wearing off. Krylon Fusion also works really well on PVC parts, my brother made a PVC t-shirt cannon and painted it with Krylon Fusion and the paint looks brand new. Do i need to take the barrel apart to paint it?

My Recon is the only gun that I have never taken the internals out of, is it hard to put them back in? Also, when I paint I painted my Nite Finder I did not use primer I just used Krylon Fusion paint which is really good for plastic. I have not had any trouble with the paint coming off and it looks very nice.

Hey, I recently modded my Nerf Recon CS-6 and it worked well for awhile then part of it broke on the slider. The orange end piece popped off and the gun will not shoot without it. I tried super gluing the piece back on and model gluing it. Both only worked for about 10 shots before it popped off again. Refer to the pictures below to see what piece I am talking about if you are confused, I am not sure what its called so I named it the slider 
If you have any suggestions about how I could fix it, that would be great. If you know of something I can use to replace the piece that works too. Thanks for reading!
The little orange circle piece in the first picture is the piece that popped off of the end that needs to be put back on in order for the gun to operate.
Thanks for looking.

Ok, I have yet another question about my recon. For painting it what is the best way to do that if I want to paint the whole thing, can I just spray paint it as is, or do I need to take it apart and remove the internals? Thanks to whoever has an answer.

The dart tooth is the piece that sticks up through the barrel when the bolt is anything other than fully forward. Look down the barrel and pull the slide back slightly - remove that bit.
Oh Ok, how do I get that piece out?

I've heard that by simply removing the barrel tooth may let you do this, however I haven't tried it so I can't say for certain.
If I did that would the gun still work? Also I assume that is the long piece on the top of the plunger that juts out?

Are you sure plumbers goop will work better than model glue or super glue? I was thinking about model gluing it back on then putting tape on the outside to ensure that it says in tact.

Zap a gap glue will fix anything, or you could fill in the void with hot glue or epoxy putty.
so are you saying to hot glue the piece back on
-or-
to fill the end of the tube with putty?

If you open up your gun, just underneath the barrel there is a plastic column with a spring on the end. Thats the bit you want out. To do that you'll need to unscrew the piece holding it in, just to the left, and unscrew and remove the barrel. Then it will simply slide out.
Remember that I'm not guaranteeing this will work!
It is still worth a try

I got a new piece from diamond and I fixed my gun so it shoots now, but I have run into another problem. When I load the clip and stick it in the gun I can cock it once and shoot it but after that the gun will not cock again. Also when I put the clip in it will not come out unless I take the gun apart and pull the clip off. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
And one other thing not relating to my recon, is the nerf eliminator IX-1 the same or better than a nerf attack unit?

You can try using a blowdryer to heat up the pieces and loosen the bond of the glue.
As for your second question, remove the original catch spring and replace it with a spring from a pen that is a bit longer. Then hot glue the spring on so it is harder to compress.
I tried using a blow dryer on the hottest setting and it did not help so next I will try boiling water when I get the chance. Edit, I also tried running a dremel along the seams where it was glued but I did not go deep and it didn't help any.
Thanks, where would I put the hot glue at? Just glue the end of it to the wall it compresses against?

Dip the handle in boiling water for a few minutes. This may loosen up the glue holding together so that you can pry it off without otherwise damaging it.
Do this. It works.
Thanks daniel, I will try this soon and hopefully it will work. If that loosens the glue and I can just pull the gun apart will I then be able to snap the gun together again.

Put the hot glue inside the spring, and while it is still warm put it back on the peg where it originally was.

Ok today I got my 4-pack of eliminators in the mail and I immediately wanted to mod them to shoot my stefans but I ran into trouble taking the gun apart. I cannot get the gun apart after I took the screws out. I took all the screws out and it did not just pop apart like other guns. I tried wedging it apart with screwdrivers but I did not apply a lot of force because I did not want to break it. Here are some pictures of what it looks like. It seems to be stuck around the handle where there is like an oval shaped piece on the bottom that the extendable grip/dart holder is. I am unsure how to get the shell apart, any advice?
Ok now for my other question. I have a Buzz Bee RFR and I heard it was a good idea to reinforce the catch, can someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks everyone!

I don't want to have to e-tape my gun together because then it will be a tacky mess.
Still need suggestions for taking apart a nerf eliminator.
Have you done it before?
I will probably try it, how long should I keep it in water?

Cut off the ring between the slide-out handle and the main gun shell.

I tried doing what soccerbeast said but I could not pull it out no matter how far I pried it up and pulled. The back of the handle also appears to be glued together or something. I was able to pry the gun far enough apart to take the plunger out so hopefully I can mod it then but it back in with having to dismantle the gun. If anyone else has suggestions on how to get the gun apart they would be appreciated.
Edit: I got the plunger out and knocked out the air restrictor and barrel post thing then put it back in the gun the best I could while prying the gun open with a screw driver. I don't think it shoots as far now and it doesn't work quite the same either. I still need to find a way to get the two pieces apart. Suggestions are appreciated, thanks to those who made suggestions.

Hey, I've made a lot of stefans for my guns. I have made three sizes 1.5'' , 2'' , and 2.5''. These all work great with my nite finders but they all fail with my modded mavericks. I use very dense foam and insert a 3/0 fishing weight into the end of each one, but none of them shoot as far as the standard suction cup darts do. In my maverick I just did the simple mods, removed the barrel posts and took out the air restrictors. I am putting new springs in soon but I have not done that yet. I have also tried using the true flight red rangers from ebay and they work well with the nite finder but bad with the mavericks. Does anyone have any suggestions or know anything that does work well?
Thanks
