I bought a Nite Finder At Walmart. I opened it up and did the basic mods, AR removal and removing the peg. I have not had a Nite Finder before, but based on the reviews of stock and modded NFs, I expected a little more than what i got . I tested it flat and got 33 feet. It's range under a lot of of Nite Finders I have seen and heard of. Is there a problem with the gun? If so how can I get more range ? Or is it because i only took out the peg and the AR? Please give your analysis of the gun. Thanks

Could you check the modification directory and find out what you want to know for yourself?
Could you? Because you probably don't want to get suspended.

Well, Slaya hasn't been on since August 4th(he's an infrequent member), so it's okay to put the question out for others to answer, I guess.

It really depends on what your ammo is.

If you're using stock tagger darts like most noobs, Sch. 40 PVC will fit around the velcro tip. You don't want a very long barrel though because it's such a poor setup. CPVC will work for stock taggers too, but won't cover the whole dart, it'll only go up to the tip.

If you're using CDTS or stefans, I wouldn't recommend either. CPVC works, but it's extremely tight.
Most people use:
-17/32" Brass tubing: spring guns with a quick discarge
- 9/16" Brass tubing: Air guns and springers with slower discharges
- PETG: All-around good barrel material.

You really only need PVC to nest your barrel material in and possibly to use with Mega stefans.

EDIT: ah, Mxer4life369

I've found cpvc at home depot but it's extremely tight to where the stock streamlines have to be twisted into it and they still barely fit in half way.

Ok I'm not answering the first question. But adding a recon spring with the stock longshot one (if both can fit on the plunger rod) would increase the range. If you are planning on replacing the stock longshot spring with a recon spring don't as it is much weaker (the recon spring). A good LS replacement spring is a spring from a big bad bow or an ar-15 spring.

If it fits well go for it. Another spring that works well inside a LS is a stock NF spring.

You could just use a pen spring. At my local ace, lowes, and home depot I haven't seen any springs small enough to function as catch springs.

Well I have never used a recon before so I won't be able to comment on that. But my 9 year old sister was able to cock my nf/ls spring combo.

Depends on what kind of tools you have. With a dremel and a metal cutting piece it is easy. Another thing you can do is work at it with wire cutters (just the ones that are like heavy duty scissors)

Ya I'm totally stalking you because it would be outrageous for me to be asked a question and answer it.

Ive tryed that but i stretched it too much, BTW im giving this gun to my 10 year old cousin so if i added a stock NF spring + recon + longshot do you think he could cock it?

Your punctuation and capitalization are horrendous, please fix these immediately. Also have you read this? Please do. And follow it, because you aren't right now. Furthermore, necroing is highly looked down upon here. Especially if the topic is more than a week old. If you have a question that's terribly important for the thread starter, than PM him. ( Or her. I can't really tell ice's gender ) That's what its for.

/rebuke

A pen spring? are you talking for the catch? If so, yeah pen springs are pretty perfect for LS catches.

Why don't you try it yourslef, then tell us how you did.

Uhh, maybe you should look at the mod itself instead of asking how. As for integrating the 2K, it all about taking the internals and gluing it to the gun. The DTG LS ice made is similiar to what you want so check that out

Wow, your a tardo.

I'm hoping that your longshot is actually broken. I'm getting kinda of outrageously pissed that just because Ice did it, tons of people are singling their longshots, broken bolt sled or not.

I have a song:

Boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot.
Boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot-boot.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooootidy boot him please?

Or, how about reading the CoC.

There's quite a few others as well. I guess I should apologize, if someone wants to take their gun and hinder it's capabilities for no reasonable or logical reason, I guess I can't stop them.

You should take pictures.

Okay my problem is the screw holes at the end of the plunger thing well one of them has a crack all the way through and I cant screw on it, how could I fix this?

You can try epoxying it together, or some other adhesive. You can also try fish tank epoxy, though I'm not sure how that'll work.

Then I highly suggest you start ordering yourself a new longshot.

Extremis- LS, Recon Spring added
70-80 ft
Paintjob- Iron Man (Red and Gold)

War Machine- BBB+Mav
60-70
Paintjob- War Machine (Black and Silver)

Isn't this the same general idea?

There are pics in there.

Thus this thread was born

And thus it should now die.

Hey guys, I just finished my first longshot integration. It works great, except the front gun sucks. I have stretched the spring and removed the ARs. Is there anything else I can do to improve it, I'm getting around 25 - 30 feet right now.

Holy craping mother of god, that's awsome! I think I just pissed myself with joy.

Old topic.
