Hi, i'm wondering what size o rings are the ds and nf because i'm going to the hardware store to buy them and are they the same sizes?
You could just bring the plunger tube. I do not recall the actual #'s though. Just bring the tube and ask them for a o-ring that fits.

Just FYI good grammar is a must to help you have a healthy, happy and long stay here at the haven. Also concept threads like these are looked down upon. May I suggest that you read the Code of Conduct before you make your next post.

I made a plunger rod out of Derlin for my NF rifle. It is sold cheap by McMasterCarr , is very easy to machine and is VERY durable.
I made a plunger rod out of Derlin for my NF rifle. It is sold cheap by McMasterCarr , is very easy to machine and is VERY durable. Looks good so far. What is the dimensions or more preferably the McMaster Part # of the Plunger Tube? Also I would like to know the length , width and height of the plunger rod. I think I will make one. I might just use two NF shells though and have the last part on its own.
Good Work.

Really Cool. Maybe you could use a torsion spring of some sort to connect the breach to the NF priming handle. Also those Rare Earth magnets should work good for holding on the Mag. Good Luck!

I used a tiny screwdriver to push out the little metal rod from the center , then use a needle nose pliers to take out the whole rod. Then I use a claw hammer to pull the whole thing apart.

Darts and Barrels
I've been doing some experimenting around with stefans, and found that craft glue makes a very strong bond if you make darts slug style. The advantage of course it that it doesn't melt the foam and is arguably as strong a bond as hot glue. The disadvantage is that it takes over a day to entirely dry. Ill be doing some "which one is better" type experimenting soon if any one even cares...
-Wes
Really? I have been using hot glue so far. The hot glue has worked good but sometimes runs over the edge and makes unwanted friction. Liquid Nails FAILED for me. I had LN all over myself and they had a horrible lifespan. I am interested to see how craft glue works. How have mine been holding up for you? Oh and by the way I found out some good Russian Quotes for next MENWAR.

I have to disagree. Frost King foam fits in everything, Tight in CPVC, a bit loose in PETG, perfect fit in 17/32 brass, a bit tight in 9/16.I would write what barrel it fits in best. That has a lot of confusion too. Also MD foam is grey. And so is frost king. I would add those two brands. They both only fit in 17/32 and CPVC.
That makes 0% sense. How can something be tight in 17/32 , Loose in PETG and Tight in 9/16?? Also I have found that no matter what I do I cant make frost king bigger than 17/32. How can it fit in all 3? Thats an a 3/16 of an inch span... Also frost king is horribly inconsistent. I just use McMaster FBR. Perfect in 17/32

I got some frost king foam of this sort. I made a batch of stefans. I loved them and switched over to 9/16 for all of my barrels. I went to get some more and it was nowhere to be found, well there was only the tin stuff. Lesson Learned - Dont use frost king. Use the kind they sell at McMaster. 10 bucks for 20 feet shipped.

Wow. My whole body hurts. We had great time.
+ Seeing some other peoples take on guns
+ Having a low key but fun war
+ Not getting asked to move even though there was a cop in the park for the first 15 min.
+ Wes's Friend Wearing a USSR hat and someone at the park asking if he was from Russia then he started using a accent for the rest of the day
+ Wes. What a great guy. Nice , funny, and a great nerfer too.
+ Selling some darts
+ One of kyle's darts getting stuck in a jet stream and going 200 feet
+ The Capture the Flag. My favorite round by far.
+ Wes's friends "vantage point" and "camo paint"
+ Shooting the Trash Can
Bad things -
- Me shooting Wes WAY to close to the chest with a Maxshot
- Both of my guns breaking and me repairing them with duct tape at lunch
-Loosing a bunch of darts
- That 12 year old ben who's mom was 1 hr late and made me stay in the parking lot with him. All because he whined his Mom into going to target for him for a BBB at 4:10 when the war was over at 4.
Over all it was a great time

Jackster has the right part number, but a nonsensical price.
There's no big secret to navigating McMaster. Just start you search with a generic term like "pipe" or "plastics" the refine by type, size, shape, material, price, or specification.
Wait... It was 17 bucks with shipping. Just checked the invoice. I got a 10 foot insanely heavy duty shipping tube. It was worth the money.
The tube cost 10 bucks. It is the most hard core shipping tube I have EVER seen. And I bought the item.

hey i might be able to go. Might be late though. Football practice. It's about 1 hr 15 mins from my house. I'll see if my team can go.Where:

Yarmouth , Maine 04096
Google Map -
http://maps.google.c....01133&t=h&z=17
When:
Sat. Oct. 11th (Date Change)
10 AM ~ to about 4 PM
Rules and stuff:
This field is pretty open , with bushes/plants for cover. I will be having this war if I get 6+ participants. The park is only 1hr and 45 min from Boston. There is a subway/convenience store about 1/4 of a mile down the road for lunch and my house is only 1 mile away.
We'll test powerful blasters to make sure they are safe. No singled titans or sm5k's. Bring 100+ darts. Wear safety glasses if you are under 18. We'll play some of the standard team deathmatch games, along with some capture the flag and pistol rounds. We can also play some requests.
Participators:
Definite: 6

Yea i must agree, my team has 10 people we're all in MA. There's a big field near where i live trees, bushes, etc. for cover. It's shrewsbury. Don't know when though
Come. Please. That would turn this war into a quite amazing war. That would make us have 16 people. That is an uber war. It will be great. Really , Please try to come. You wont regret it... It's fine if you are late. As long as you make it is the thing that counts. When would you be showing up? Come. Now.

I have THE 300 series. I would recommend it. It comes with a bunch of attachments in a little box. It came with about 10 cutting wheels and 3 heavy duty ones. It also came with a couple sanders. It came with a SUPER heavy duty case. Its a great little thing. I do a LOT of dremling and it has help up well. I have had it for 3/4 of a year so far and have had NO problems.

I just got one today at TRU for 11 bucks. It twas in the spiderman toy section. I just jammed a PETG stub down the barrel that is a bit too short and I am getting about 35 feet. I also haven't plugged that "vent" above the barrel. I think with some longer PETG and that vent thing I should be able to get about 50 feet. I am going to glue it onto my MaxShot.
Here is a pic of mine , and I know that that piece of PETG sucks.

I'll think about coming, have to ask parents and get some new guns, right now all I have is a DTB and a TT
It would be awesome if you could come! And actually a DTB I assume you mean the 10 shot ones , are good primarys if you can get one to shoot more than 45 feet or so. They are very very good if you can have a secondary/pistol that has one powerful shot. Hope you can come.

Thanks a lot guys, but splitlip, your link is broken. At 12.99 I need to look into either this or a maxshot.
At 10 dollars. Look at split's link. I have both of these , and I would suggest these over a maxshot. They get about 10 feet less range, but I can get 3 of these for 1 maxshot.

You took the turret off my old maxshot? Oh well. I would strongly reccomend a nested brass barrel of 3 inches of 17/32 nested into 9 inches of 9/16, all nested in PVC, and jammed into a coupler. I tried this, and I have very similar fitting darts to you (tight in CPVC, and loose in OMC petg)
Hope this helps.
Sorry, but yes I did take the turret off of the maxshot. It got to be a pain, and its range was only OK. Thanks for the advice about the barrel set up. And the maxshot is still holding strong.

Fist off yes, the title is a that's what she said joke on purpose.
Now for my real question. How tight do I want my darts in their barrel? I am using a Maxshot and will soon upgrade to a ETRL pump action shotgun. My stefans are tight in cpvc. While I do not have to twist them in, I can NOT blow them down the barrel what-so-ever. In 17/32nds brass the fit is similar to cpvc but a bit looser. In PETG my darts are very loose. They are about as loose as can be without sliding up and down. I can NOT slide the darts by shaking the PETG though. I am using a CPVC coupler on my maxshot as of now, with 9'' of CPVC. My question to you guys is "What type of barrel set-up should I use in my high powered springers? I can never really get a straight answer. Because I have never warred with anyone besides my inexperienced friends I am unsure of which barrel set up will give me the best range/accuracy. Also I am using both C_S style felt and washer stefans along with 3 copper bb stefans. Please help me put an end to this on going question in my head.
Thanks,
Jack

Talking to my parents about going. I partially live in Maine, so I'll post back if I can go. I'm also contacting Guinea, from Foam Universe, he lives in Maine. We were actually thinking about hosting an annual war, we did SMANO last November and it was fun. I'm in Acton, so I'll see how far away you are and then my parents will see if they're up to driving a few hours.
Only an Hour and a half, not bad.
Cool! Hope you can come.
