I recently purchased a lonshot and whenever i use it, the stock goes back from being in the extended form.
I was just wondering if this happens to any one else, and if there was any way to fix it.

I don't know much about LongShots, but I would suggest that you lock the stock in place using the bottom on the side of the stock... How old are you, new [raw] Shrimp?
Im 14. I just joined a little while ago.
But even with the stock button is in lock, after you shoot about a clip, it goes back into the default mode.

For the nite finder, instead of replacing the barrel with brass, petg, or pcv, could i use copper for the same effect? Because copper ws the only thing i could get a hold of, and it doesn't seem to work.

I heard that 1/2" copper is too big for Micros and too small to fit Megas. Just buy some PETG from OMC.

Trust me don't get Brass. It doesn't work as well as using 1/2 inch CPVC. I did a CPVC coupler mod on mine and it gets about 65-70". Another reason why you shouldn't get the Brass and get the CPVC is cause the Brass is like 7 bucks while the CPVC is only like 2 bucks.
Is there a difference between CPVC and PVC? I tried using PVC but it wouldn't fit in to the Nitefinder when i put it together.

When i take the air restictors out of a gun, when i shoot it sound really bad. Like its hitting somethimg teally hard. Does this happen to anyone else? Or is it the air going out faster?

First of all, the little spring-loaded air restrictors primary purpose is to slow a piston down after there is no resistance (when a dart has left the barrel, or when you are dry firing) so if it's make a REALLY loud sound whenever you fire, like, the same sound it makes with no dart, your barrel is probably too loose.
Second, (and contradictory to my first point, I know) all guns without air restrictors should NEVER be dry fired (fired without a dart) because you will just be slamming the piston against its stop. I don't know what gun you're refering to, but some have fairly delicate pistons, that, unless you've reinforced, can break if you do that too many times. Same goes for having an improperly sized barrel...you need enough barrel friction to hold a dart in place until maximum pressure has built up. If the dart pops out after the piston has only traveled an inch or two, the head is just going to freely slam that extra distance once the resistance is gone.
But yes, guns without restrictors sound like they're trying to kill themselves.
Ok thanks. The gun i used was the firefly. I did renagades mod. I didn't know if i did somrthing wrong, or something snapped.

Ok so, When ever i fire my stock streamlines, they fishtail or swerve off to the side. I know its cause of the hole on the side. Is there any way to make the gun more acurate with stock streamlines? Or is there any way to make the dart not swerve to the side?

I just got a magstrike the other day. It didnt have that good ranges, so i tried to remove the ARs. I took a screw driver and forced them out. Everything is flush with the walls. Now when i use the clip that I think has the ARs removed it shoots a little less than the one with the Ars. (When i AR i mean the crosses and pegs in the back of the clip.)

That's essentially what he did prior to posting.Or for a quick fix just drill out the ARs through the holes at back of the clip.
Except I hammered mine out

Then how did he lose range? I drilled mine out and it gets around 3-5 feet more than stock.
Thats why I'm asking.

You can make the streamlines a little more accurate if you just cut the empty plastic dome on the top of them. I did it to mine and they work alot better.

Isn't it kind of unwieldy-ish?
If you try to hold the mav like a pistol does it lean forward in the front? Or will it break?
And lastly, is it useful? Could you sucessfully use it?
Sorry for so many questions...

Wait, you took off the end of the little sight thingy, and put it in the plunger, and etaped on a coupler? You don't get 100 feet anyways. My BBB with a upgraded spring, great seal, better airflow, and a decent barrel, gets 90 feet at the highest angled. Heck I barely get 70 flat.
Ditto. It could have been the spring shortener idea.

The recon has no TV advertisements, and I haven't heard of it in any magazines. No publicity, a product needs some advertising for people to know about it, the word catch on, and for it to be worth the product costs.
Actually, I saw a commercial with the recon in it. It was for the general n-strike tatical rail or something. It wasn't directed towrd the longshot though.

I think that you should try a nite mav. I would probably get better ranges. As for the barrel thing, you could try having a barell glued on to the plunger, then add a coupler to end of it, where the dart would come out. That way you could add a longer barrel and take it off if you need to.

but you dont have to reload until after 6 shots... unlike what you postedthat's the whole point of it! to use that to increase the rate of fire which I think is better than using a nightfinder....You dont have to reload until you fire off all 6 shots. It still uses the rotation mech.
Oh if it helps, I'm basicly trying to improve (CAP)_Blue_Beret's maverick modd in my own way....plus using a Night mave would mean having to load a dart in after every shot
I think he meant he would have to if he used my idea.
