So Watt, conceivably, between 1 and 2 ace 49 springs could be used? I'd just have to reinforce the shit out of everything. Yes, I did add another spring to the catch.

[k25]'s can be ordered from Mcmaster? Is there any ACE equivalent of a [k25]? How about 1.5 or so ACE #49s
I've found that a LS spring+NF spring+Mav spring will not allow the gun to catch.

Hey all,
I recently finished angel breeching my LS. I am getting OK ranges with it. I have not as of yet improved the seal or replaced the spring yet. I have searched around and can only find a few different spring to replace or add to the LS:
-BBB spring
-Recon spring
-Nf srping
I do not have either of the first two. Currently I have the LS spring and a NF spring in there.
What other springs would work well to produce high ranges in and angeled LS? Anything at ACE possibly? How 'bout a cut down +bow spring?
Thanks.

From that vendor, I think you might be better served by this kind.
If you can find the dimensions of the valve body, there might be one where you can snip off most of the input barb and simply glue it over the opening you've cut. You want the absolute minimum amount of dead space you can possibly achieve between the pump head and the checkvalve.
OK cool. Just as long as I know that this will probably work. I'll see wat I can do when I get one and when possibl, I'll try to post pics of what I did. Thanks so much!

Legit double post:
I was searching around on USPlastics and found a page dedicated to checkvalves:
http://www.usplastic...CFUlo5QodsSIqKg
I found these:
http://www.usplastic...23369&catid=489
and these:
http://www.usplastic...23170&catid=489
I was wondering if either of them might work to fix my problem. I was thinking I could eliminate my faulty check valve IN the plunger tube and insert one of the above into the tubing in order to fix the mechanism.
At this point, I;m just looking for something that might work. If anyone has any insight as to whether or not one of the above valves will work, please post it here. This seems to be along the lines of what Phree posted...

some pics:
I could've pushed it back into place but I did not think that would hold for long. By turning it upside down and shaking I could get it to fall out.
Same problem. Apparently the check valve did not work. Air is still pushing the plunger ord back out.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! Yay! How you ask?
Well, Thanks to BOB, I realized that my problem was that my check valve had busted. What I did was I cut open the pump at the back ( cut on the dotted line). My problem was that the little rubber circle had been dislodged due to a plugged pump. I put a small dab of super glue on the very center of the circle. ONLY PUT IT ON THE CENTER, OTHERWISE AIR WILL OT BE ABLE TO BE PUMPED. Let it dry and then glue the peice that you cut off back on. That worked for me...
EDIT: Actually, it did not work. Shit. I may just have to get another 2k pump tube.

Hey all. I am currently on the market for a scroll saw, in large part because of my NERF addiction. So it came to me as I was researching possible saws, why not a have a stickied thread where members could:
- review tools that have been particularly helpful or detrimental to thier work
- give pointers on tool usage
- ask questions about specific tools
a format:
EXACT tool name
manufacturer
price where you purchased it
how you like it, why/why not
any specific tips to it
I know something like this would be extremely useful to me and I was just thinking about how much easier this might make tool selection for all uf us modders.
Here's my example:
Dremel stylus
Dremel
$69.99 at ACE Hardware
I love it; there's nothing you can't do wiht it. An absolute essential
My one caution- most of the attachments (i.e. router, crosscut blade, grout remover) will not work with it.
Enjoy!

Hey all,
I was messing around with my at2k today (pump plugged, goo guage removed, couplered) when it just stopped working. I thought it was a leak and tried the water test but there were no leaks. I can hear a hissing sound directly after I pump. It sounds as if the pumped air is just coming right back out of the pump tube. I guess what I mean is that air goes in and comes right back out.
I have not seen or heard of a probelem such as this to date. I'm wondering how to fix it. I redid all of the seals and that was not the problem. The funny thing is, when you take the air tank off, it pumps just fine. Also, when you pump with the air tank open, it punps fine and you can feel/hear the air coming out of the tank where it normally does.
I don't see how pics would help here. It's just a standard at2k setup really.
Hope to hear from you and thanks in advance,

Hey all,
I just finished with the shell of my NF rifle when I realized that I was not 100% certain of what spring(s) I should use. I experimented with a bunch of different springs and currentky I am using an ACE #49 spring and a NF spring intertwined with a mav spring. I am getting good ranges for a NF, around 55'-60' I think, but I'm sure a NF RIFLE is capable of more.
I know Kbarker and others used heavy duty industrial springa and genius responsible for the deadalus used a screen door spring, but I have access to neither. I have a Home Deopt and an ACE near me. Would 2 ACE #49 springs work? Without breaking the blaster?
Thanks in advance,

I was sort of skeptical at this gun's durability: I'm not sure if the soda bottle ait tank will hold. I'm very interested in trying this mod out though because of it's apparent good ranges and low cost.
Any thoughts? The main thing that is troubling me here is that I just do not see how a soda bottle can be durable enough to function consistenly as an air tank in a powerful nerf gun.
Suggestions, advice, and comments are welcome.

Hey all,
I'm doing some touch up work on the shell of my at3k and I was wondering what exactly is the best material fo this application. I've used plumber's epoxy putty before but I'm probably gonna need a few tubes of the stuff and that'll probably be around $15 for three tubes (my estimated necessary amt. ). This is a possibility but no one that I am necesarily in favor of.
I've also seen Bondo used. I'm not quite sure how much Bondo costs, but from what i've seen, it produces some nice results.
So my question is: What substance is the best, most glueable, sandable, paintable for the job?
All suggestions are welcome and thank you in advance...

The rod on the cocking handle ended up bending and the plastic piece that it comes in contact with on the plundger broke. I don't have ranges on the one that works at the moment, I'll try and get some in the next couple days.
Bear in mind, when I say awesome, I mean awesome for a maverick.
Edit: If you are going to rebarrel, make sure you're darts fit well! I rebarreled a nite-mav with petg and it shot worse because of bad dart fit! Ruined the thing.
Again, what are your rangees? I just tried this and got ranges of about 20-25 ft. Not bad, but not awesome, even by Mav standards...
