The spring addition we will be using is the Ace hardware #115. You can see it below, inside the stock spring.
First we will reinforce the priming bar. Cut pieces of 0.15” brass and place them as shown. Glue epoxy below and above the pieces.
Then use 0.05” brass to reinforce the “L” shape of the priming bar. I used a combination of epoxy and another metal-plastic adhesive that has some flex.
Reinforce the end of the Plunger rod as shown below. Use a 0.05” brass One again, a combination of epoxy and another adhesive.
Now we will do the same thing the the reverse side, the tip of this end of the plunger rod.
Now reinforce both sides of where the trigger catches the plunger rod. Once again, 0.05” brass with epoxy and another adhesive.
Now we will reinforce the catch spring. First we cut a small section of K&S stock #106, 1/4 x 0.014 “ Rd Aluminum Tube. Epoxy this onto the trigger as shown. Our catch springs will line go inside this.
Cut a piece of sheet metal and epoxy it to the spring hole as shown. Then cut another piece of the aluminum tube that is slightly longer, and epoxy it to the sheet metal. Then place two new catch springs inside the tube. I used two springs that nested inside each other, each from a different “clicky-pen.”
When reassembling the trigger system, place the new catch spring inside the aluminum tubing on both the trigger and the aluminum tubing on the sheet metal. Keep the stock torsion spring in as an additional catch spring.
Now we will place some foam padding on the plunger cap. I used FBR and cut it down to fit. You don’t want it to reduce the overall draw though!
When everything is put back inside the gun, the plunger rod and priming bar will align as shown.
I placed some bike inner tube over my handle now to make it slightly more comfortable. Also, I made a single barrel, PETG inside 3/4” PVC. Goop to make it airtight.

First, we will cut the stock off the PAS and then shorten the handle, in the manner shown below. This was done merely for the sake of comfort, as we will be extending the handle.
I used a piece of 1/2” PVC as the center of my handle, the pieces surrounding it are 3/4”. You should make it long enough so it is comfortable for you.
You will need to drill two 1” PVC endcaps in this manner. These should be centered as your barrels will attach to this. I used a 1/2” drill bit to drill the holes, they should be the same size as your barrel’s inner diameter. Make sure the distance between them will match the distance between your two barrels. The spacing will differ for each barrel material. How far apart they should be will become apparent once we glue the barrels together.
Now you will epoxy one half of the hinge to this end cap, in the manner shown below. Make sure you make it so the hinge goes the correct way. When the hinge is closed, both halves will rest on top of this end cap.
Take your two barrels and epoxy them together. I placed tape around them only to make sure they dry properly, in-place, and flush. The tape will be removed once the epoxy is completely dry. I have drilled out one end of the barrels so it is slightly easier to fit darts in.
On the end cap you haven’t glued the hinge to, you should use Plumber’s Goop to connect two o-rings to the hole. I used 1/2” o-rings, the thickness should match the distance between the two endcaps, when they are both attached to the hinge. The end-caps must be completely straight when the hinge is closed.
Epoxy the barrels into the end cap that is glued to the hinge as shown, make sure the barrels overlap the holes you drilled. Use plumber’s goop to at the base. The end you drilled out slightly will be closer to the end cap.
We will now attach the two end caps via the hinge. Use epoxy to connect the hinge to the other end cap.
It will close in the manner shown below.
We will attach a 1/2” to 3/4” PVC bushing to the PAS’ plunger cap. The OD of this top of the bushing is 1”, the ID is 3/4”. On the bottom, the ID is 1/2” and fits perfectly over the PAS’ brown plunger cap. Once again, we will use a combination of epoxy and plumber’s goop. The epoxy will hold the piece on, the goop will be used to make sure there no air leaks.
You will now cut a space for the hexagonal base of the bushing. You can use a dremel or metal file to make the bushing fit. Then place the PAS’ plunger cap back in the gun.
It’s important you have let the hinge set and cure for the full length before doing this step. On the end cap without the o-rings, epoxy on a piece of aluminum sheet metal, make sure to drill it out where the holes for the barrel are. I used 0.1” sheet metal, but what you use may differ based on the size of your hinge and o-rings. Once again, we are doing this to create a perfect seal between the two end caps. I have also placed a single layer of e-tape with circles cut out for the barrel.
It’s very important that this seal is air tight. Attach neodynium magnets to the top of the end caps with epoxy, making sure opposite poles face eachother. I used a 14 lb and a 22 lb magnet. What strength you use is a matter of personal opinion. I imagine anything over 10 lb will be strong enough to seal the hinges. You can see that my magnets are not flush, this will prevent the magnets from slamming together and breaking the epoxy’s bond.
Your barrel is now complete.

2 Darts

6 Darts
8 Darts
2 Darts: 90 feet
4 Darts: 80 feet
6 Darts: 70 feet
8 Darts: 60 feet.
Theres variation among the dart ranges within each set, (ex. 6 darts: 1 got 93, 2 got 60ish, etc), but those are the averages. Every 2 darts added decreases range by 10 feet approxamately.

#231679 Hinged Double Barrel Pump Action Shotgun
Posted by THIRST on 21 May 2009 - 12:28 PM in Modifications
Double barrel aside, this is a brilliant idea for coupler'd guns all around. Definitely gonna have to make my own design...
The fact that the barrel stays attached to the gun makes loading easier, since you have one hand totally free (not holding your coupler'd barrel). However, one thing you do have to get use to is that when running, if shaking the gun too much and the barrel comes partially up, it can lock into place. That is, the magnets are strong enough to close the hinge if you bring barrel part of the way up. Using weaker magnets might still allow it to be airtight while pulling the barrel in until it the hinge is fully closed.
Putting a small peice of ducktape on the underside of the hinge reduces movement, making it easier to load, while still being able to flip it up. I could use another magnet setup to make the barrel stay down in the loading position, but then I wouldn't be able to flip it up. Anyways the ducktape is an easy solution.

They are aligned with equal airflow, and no barrel fires better than the other. Thats just a case of measuring out where you want to drill the holes.Anyways, does the PVC fit so that it's perfectly aligned so that each barrel gets equal airflow, or did you just glue them as best you could? Does one barrel fire better in general?

What did you use for a lock to keep the barrels erect? And please don't sig me on that.
14 lb. pull and 25 lb. pull grade 42 and 45 neodynium magnets. Not hard, and thanks.Magnets right? How hard was it to make it seal? Also, your handle is very nice looking as well.

The base coupler is a 1/2 to 1 inch coupler, and the other 2 endcaps are 1 inch. The 1/2 to 1 inch coupler has an inner diameter of 3/4 inch pvc, so I put petg in a 3/4 inch pvc length to make it fit inside.I noticed that you have a interchangeable barrel system rigged up there, what are the coupler sizes? How is that piece extending from the gun fit your 1/2 PVC inside, while have a coupler outside? (not at the same time of course)
Nice innovative mod. How's the seal? Any air loss?
Overall great mod I would have never thought of that!
No air loss to speak of. when I plug the barrels no air leaks out at the o-rings, so I'll say its airtight.I love how you used the hinges, and use a double barrel method.
Does it have any air loss when youre using the double barrel attachment?
Thanks nerfer34, My ego just smiled. I'm glad it was useful to you.Wooaaa it's THIRST?!
Guy's like a living legend on here. I'd just like to say thank you Thirst for your semi auto concept. That was the first thing on the NIC that really got me thinking.

Easy, as shown in the video. But Cpvc is the tightest barrel material. The darts I used seem to be pretty thin.Nice mod, something I'm gonna have to do sooner or later. I have a question about the loading. As we all know, springers work better with a tight barrel as opposed to a looser one. With your current set-up, how hard is it to load 4 darts down one barrel?

I have all the pictures for the writeup I just have yet to do it. Its not even necessary though...the pictures posted kind of says it all. Theres no hidden fusion reactor.Long had a dreamed of a PAS that could be flipped down to be loaded. Even longer had I dreamed of a double barrel PAS and you made both. Is there a writeup anywhere? This gun out and out rocks.
2 Darts: 90 feetHave you done any sort of range testing for the double barrel attachment?
4 Darts: 80 feet
6 Darts: 70 feet
8 Darts: 60 feet.

Not harder than any other method of loading a dart, besides for the standard front loading. Its faster than the other methods.The only thing that I could be a problem is that this seems hard to load when running.

#230772 Semi-auto 2k Prototype-its A Start
Posted by THIRST on 17 May 2009 - 12:07 PM in Modifications
I was thinking of getting a reverse push-release valve, and put it under the MS trigger like the stock release valve use to be. So in theory, the valve is always open, and when you press the trigger, if closes, but also fires the shot. That would be a staged trigger though, not opening both functions at the same time. Do you think this would be better?
Hell yeah, do it.

A cornicopia of fun.
Nice to meet Ted, Austin, Hombre, Veggie, Navy 1,Navy 2, NerfMonky, and of course to see everyone again who I havn't seen in awhile...
___
-I tried to holster my splitfire in my pants and it went off right on the "danger zone". Owch.
-Running headfirst on around a corner to Dean beause I couldnt slow down fast enough--but I shot from a foot away so no taps haha.
-When using my magstrike 80% of the people that I tagged were from barrel taps--dont misunderstand me, its not skill, its how terrible the accuracy was.
-Finally finding a gun i feel comfy with--SS2--then buying one and modding it (thanks Hombre).
-Ompa's amazing clipfed homemade guns' ranges and accuracy--ompa was kicking ass
-i think Rambo actually tried to use the shotty titan for one round. He missed his one shot and then realized how disadvantaged he really was.
-when i was using my blastfire and i slipped on the wet grass head first and turned it into a "movie" slide...and then hit no one.
-Ted had a surplus of simply great reliable guns (thanks for lending me the ss2)
-Nerfmonky's awsome bigblast
-Rambo brought a huge amount of xyience
-The first time I touched the ss2 i got like 4 kills in a row when hersh proceeded to take vengeance with his amn nice crossbow
-groove complaining about his splitfire on his xbow...but jordan...you got me out a craplot with the splitfire and i dont think any times with the crossbow itself haha.
-bernie actually thought i was halfway decent with the blastfire...geeze what a mistake using that gun was hahah.
-Ted, Austin, and someone else making some really close shots from the end of the gauntlet on the ramp to where a few of us were behind the corner. The reason I couldnt identify the third person was because I was too busy trying not to get tagged out as darts whistled inches from my face...nice
That was great guys...after wrestling season we are definatly setting up another.
-hombre and me teaming up...damn cool
-towards the end i went ninja and barrel tapped a bunch of people...then i snuck up on ted and missed ahahha
I know I forgot a bunch of great times/teamwork and stuff but damn everyone at this was was skilled and cool. After wrestling season I hope to see everyone again, and thanks to everyone for coming down. NerfMonky, I found your 12 inch brass/pvc nested barrel and your sports glasses, so dont worry.

Hey Thirst, you have 1000+ posts and you say that you are new? Okay, the longshot is supposed to rock, but I haven't got mine that way yet for my lack of barrelling materials. It is thirty dollars and is avaliable at Toys R' Us, Wal-Mart, and Target. I hope that sums it up for you.
Hmm thats is weird...1000+ posts...some new bug?
Anyone got internal pics and ranges?

Me and Dean showed up at 10, Hersh and Jordan Mosie'd in around 10:45, then Akira Chris and Juno came a bit later. At around 11:45 some basketball players were near us, having a 4v4 game. They came over, interested. apparatently, they all paintballed and/or airsofted quite frequently. They all really liked nerf. Another kid Kyle came it. This brought us up to 16 people. We had 8v8, with perfect even teams. It was beautiful. There was not a single disupute of getting hit, everyone was quite cool. There was no bitching arguing or fighting. The basketball players were also really good, so all the teams were even and challenged. It was focking amazing. Some really awsome shots. We went out to lunch, we all went to California Tortilla, and you wouldn't beleive this...My friend was the cashier and we all got free burrittos. We drove back for more nerfing, and as we combed for darts, I found $50 under the portable. Pretty sweet, I must say. Anyways, this was followed by several more hours of the best nerfing I have ever done/witnessed. Wow. Between all the nice shots and dodges...The turnout was amazing. 16 people was friggin awsome to nerf with. We stopped nerfing at 6:30. It was not dark or cold out at all. Perfect. Thanks for coming down Jordan and Hersh!
Oh, and to those people who dicked out at the last second, you just missed the best nerf event of your lives. Its a shame really, you would have had the most amazing amount of fun unrivaled in this hemisphere. Maybe next time.

Not only is my deck wrapped in a veil of mystery so you will be unprepared when facing it...It has also never lost. And if it has lost, which is very likely, then I must have forgotten.
Also, I dont know why Dean said we'd only be there part of the day, but if it is because of wrestling (Which I dont know the shedule 1 month in advance) then I wpont be going at all. Due to my abscence, I am almost positive the rounds will last longer, as I am not hindering my team and getting them all killed. Or was that Dean? I always get us 2 mixed up.
