I would just get an enitrely new piece of vinyl tubing from the hardware store. Try to find one that matches the size of the current one. Get the old tubing off by twisting the tubing from the junctions using pliers (but don't bend or break off the plastic nubs that come out of the pump or tank). Use plumber's goop to seal it on there. Give it a day before applying any kind of pressure.

I don't know how large that orange barrel is, but is there any way to leave a small bit of it on?
Cutting it directly off will leave you less room to attach your new barrel. I find barrel replacements work best if you can use fittings/dremel to fit the new barrel inside or outside of the old barrel to make it sturdy. When you cut off the old barrel completely, you have to glue the new barrel on very small surface area or push part of the barrel inside of the plunger chamber (not good depending on how the plunger stops).

Those are some nice guns, nerfturtle. The NF's look so tiny..
Cmdrmack, you needed a Firefly writeup?
Dang it... I modded mine a couple months ago, but I opted to not take pics because I saw several great firefly writeups already (in the mods section). There was one that handled removal of the AR's and there was another writeup that went into how to CPVC it. If you have questions or anything, feel free to PM me about it. I pretty much followed Sqiggs mod (though looking at Renegade's pics also helped).
I am also puzzled why everybody seems to hate the Firefly. After I modded mine, I had to say that it felt pretty bad-ass... I was pretty untouchable when I used it in a war (but then again, I'm always untouchable
).
Speaking of which, I noticed you have the blue/yellow firefly. I have a yellow/black one--are there any major differences between the two? I know the wiring attaches to both halves of the blue/yellow shell making it difficult to fully assemble... but did they downgrade anything when the yellow/black came out?

I think I speak for all of us when I say you should slap your camera on a longshot or some other incredibly high powered weapon of yours, Angel, and eat shit that kablammie from a billion miles away.
I would love to see that.
The camera mount is pretty bad-ass... I recently bought a lens that I wire to my camcorder to use as an in-car mounted camera during race events.
I figure in the off season I could mount it to a gun or something as well..
EDIT: I just remembered the lens needs a power source--in a car, the cigarette lighter is available. Blah.
What kind of camera did you use, Angel? My digital camcorder is pretty huge/heavy because it's a DV-AVI camera. I don't think it's the most mount-able thing in the world...

Good measurements,
my friend and I both will be performing Angel's BBB mod this summer. Should make us a slick pair on the field (by slick, I mean unstoppable).
I suggest getting a pipe cutter--it'll probably save you $$ on how many discs you're going to break.
I broke a lot of discs getting started with the dremel, but now it's pretty easy for me to not break a disc until it's almost completely worn down to nothing. A good clamp and dremeling posture is necessary.

Have you tried JB-Weld?
Make sure to completely clean the surface off before moving on to trying a new adhesive. Residue hot glue could significantly weaken the bonding strength. You can also try to make grooves in the Brass to increase the surface area for bonding.
I myself would prefer a mechanical bond over a chemical (adhesive) bond, but it would require modifying the outer PVC significantly so you can fit a hose clamp or something on top of the sliding brass.

There's just too much stress and too little surface area for glue to be effective.

I don't own a double shot, but it sounds as if the PVC is pushing up against the air chamber for the seal.
Try using neoprene washers to bridge that seal. They are a little squishy, so you can get a tight fit without worrying about the gun not closing (since they'll squish to allow the gun to close). If I'm visualizing this wrong, let me know.

It's not what kind of darts you're shooting.

Some batches of 1/2" CPVC are tighter than others. Some are looser than others.

As it is my gun, let me tell you:
It's an air pressure gun, not a cocking. The original stock ammo were large, red, sponge-like balls.
The airtank isn't all that large nowadays with the Titan in production.
The manufacturer is "YES! Entertainment Corp.", full gun name is "RADICAL AIR WEAPONS - The Force", and the copyright on the gun reads "1997".
Currently mine is modded to shoot large slugs made of pipe insulation, getting fairly good ranges for such a large piece of foam. I am working on a mod to shotgun micros, but I have been bogged down with other mods. When I finally get around to it, I'll be sure to document everything and give photos of the internals.
Also, if anybody else knows anything about the gun:
My check valve appears to be broken. My overpressure valve is plugged. When I pump the gun up, the pump handle starts to come back out (air is pushing it out).

It was primitive, but simple enough. Simply pull it out 5 feet, then lay it on the ground. Chalk off where each 5' segment ends, pick it up and move it to the chalkmark. Add up each segment as 5' when reporting the range. Get as close to the dart range using 5' increments, then measure the last increment that is less than 5'.
The first time, though, I didn't think of chalk. So I was using random objects to mark the increments. Heheh..

I'm just going to take a moment to giggle at this statement.
Ranges are very subjective and the reported ranges of people that haven't accurately documented their method and conditions of measurement can be off by as much as 20 feet. The standard deviation in reported ranges is extremely wide, so take every reported range with a huge grain of salt.
Unless, of course, the range test comes from people that actually know what they're doing (such as yourself, CS)...
By the way Piney, that is one awesome looking SM3k Blue. I am going to get some soon (I hope).

One of two things is happening here:
1) The trigger catch is not seated correctly or is not catching for some reason. Your plunger may be upside down so the grooves don't fall into place correctly for the trigger to catch. The trigger spring might be too weak (I suggest replacing it anyways since you did a spring replacement).
2) The spring is simply too long. When it is fully compressed, it is still too large and won't let the plunger catch. This means your plunger isn't travelling the full distance it should be--the size of the compressed spring is longer than it should be.
