Posted by zxnam on 21 June 2007 - 07:27 PM in Modifications

#112285 Zxnam's Cpvc Night Finder System

Posted by zxnam on 20 June 2007 - 10:44 PM in Modifications

I get 77' average distance flat. My darts have a magical fit in cpvc.



#112036 Zxnam's Cpvc Night Finder System

Posted by zxnam on 19 June 2007 - 05:19 PM in Modifications

About 40 feet :( , my main gets 80' and the secondary get 40'. I will repost ranges when I get a better spring, I have the stock ex-3 in.



#112028 Zxnam's Cpvc Night Finder System

Posted by zxnam on 19 June 2007 - 04:39 PM in Modifications

So the barrel in the laser connects to the coupler? I've seen SSPB's in that position, but never another barrel.


Correct, Its more for fun than anything but in an indoor war it can save your life especially when you have another shot totally ready to shoot in 2 seconds.



#112021 Zxnam's Cpvc Night Finder System

Posted by zxnam on 19 June 2007 - 03:59 PM in Modifications

This is a 2 part mod, First a double barrel to fit Gengar003's Clean Coupler Mod, and then a an extra mounted shot in the laser beam area.

For the Double barrel you will need:
Two 3" cpvc lengths 1/2" and one 3/4" section(approximate for both)
Two 1.5" lengths of 3/8" vinyl tubing
Electrical Tape
Glue

1. Cut both vinyl tubing like so, so the tubing will fit.

2. Fit both pieces into the 3/4" length of 1/2" cpvc and glue it down good.

3. Wrap E-tape around the the end of the vinyl tubing so it fits snugly.

4. Slip the 2 sections of cpvc over the vinyl tubing.

5. Glue it down good. Connect the 2 with glue also.

END OF PART I

For Part II you will need:
10" of 3/8" vinyl tubing
Drill
Electrical Tape
Glue
1" stub of 1/2" cpvc
3" section 1/2" cpvc


1. Cut a 1/2" hole in the shell just forward of the trigger.
Posted Image

2. Wrap E-tape around the end of the vinyl tubing so it fits snugly on the cpvc.

3. Slip the cpvc over the vinyl tubing on one end and glue it in.

4. Cut laser like so, opening it up helps.

5. Slide Vinyl tubing through hole and glue the other end in.

6. Position the barrel so you can connect the other end to the coupler, glue it place.

And your done!

#103831 Your Weapon Setup.

Posted by zxnam on 03 May 2007 - 08:24 PM in Off Topic

I am indoors for most of my wars so...
Primary: Cpvc'ed Mav
Secondary: Nightfinder (soon to be my crossfire)

Or

Primary: Nightfinder
Secondary: None, I like to be mobile I will occasionally carry a second NF though.

Hopefully I can get my magstrike for my primary soon.

This sucks, I have a bball tourney that weekend. Hope you guys have fun! I gotta make it to one of these.



#112330 Viva La Difference!

Posted by zxnam on 21 June 2007 - 09:01 AM in Articles

Great article piney. I nerf because of the tinkering(and providing a fun war with my friends). Heck I spend 2 hours a day average tinkering, another hour just firing. I get a sense of accomplishment from just taking it apart and modifing it. I am sure I will eventually sell 90% of my arsenal and start all over again. Again great article piney.

#112349 The Thunder Clip

Posted by zxnam on 21 June 2007 - 11:41 AM in Modifications

I know it's a double post but I'd like to give a few more pics and info.

To start I redid the Steps 8-9.

I found this metal bead that had an OD of 1/2", It was perfect.
Posted Image
I just glued it into cpvc and then into the back and it worked great.
Posted Image
Posted Image

Then I made a handle to slide the bolt.

It started out as 2 clips from a rope light. I glued them on. Posted Image

Then I attached a metal L piece to it. Simple but effective.

And some random breech pics.

#112290 The Thunder Clip

Posted by zxnam on 20 June 2007 - 10:52 PM in Modifications

Right, right. I got the copper. But your slide is inside the breech. Cool.


Yeah, The good thing is is that because of the lip on the one piece keeps it 100% airtight. Also this is a super easy breach to put on pratically any gun. With the cpvc on the back I can put it on any gun with a cpvc coupler. And, I can make different brass barrel lengths for each gun's needs.

Carbon, It feels great, I am putting on a slider to make it easier. I didnt see that there, that it kind of like mine but i think mine is less complicated.

P.S. Does anyone know what that part is?



#112256 The Thunder Clip

Posted by zxnam on 20 June 2007 - 08:15 PM in Modifications

Well This started this afternoon when I decided I should make a clip. Pieces just fell together and I got it working in no time. Also this Is a brand new design. The name is from the roaring thunder while i was finishing it up.

You Need:
-1/2"repair sweat piping copper
-1/2"nut
-17/32 Brass
-piece I don not know(someone help me)
-1/2" cpvc coupler
-1/2" cpvc pipe
-glue

1. Take your copper pipe and attach the piece I am trying to find out. The pipe should me at least 4" long.
Posted Image

2. Mark the pipe for the dart entry to the breech. Refer to above picture.

3. Cut the hole in the copper, I used a mini roto zip.
Posted Image

4. Put the coupler on the end of the copper, it should be a good fit, glue in good.

5. Cut a 1" section of cpvc and hollow it out really good so it will fit over the brass, then cut it in half.
Posted Image

6. Place a length of brass that works good in the gun you want to use(it has to be 17/32 though) into the copper pipe.

7. Slide 1 of the cpvc pieces over the brass until the coupler keeps it in place nice and snug. Mark it and then pull it out and glue it in.

8. Hollow out the nut.
Posted Image

9. Slide over the cpvc and glue into the piece I do not know the name of.
Posted Image

10. Put on a clip system you like.

Your Done.


So when the dart enters you shut it(of coarse) the dart is pushed back but enter into the brass by the brass. There is a lip of the piece i dont know of the keeps it airtight. It is held in place by the cpvc coupler/cpvc.

Open Breach
Posted Image
Closed

Also the steps 8-9 can be bettered I am sure. Hope you like it! Completion time is easily less than 2 hours for sure. I hope to get a bbb or some other higher powered gun to try this on soon. Questions/comments?



#112284 The Thunder Clip

Posted by zxnam on 20 June 2007 - 10:41 PM in Modifications

So it's pretty much a BS-9 breech with the clip attached to it?


Not really, Mine has copper and a different loading method.



#105689 Switch Shots Ultra Mod

Posted by zxnam on 15 May 2007 - 04:22 PM in Modifications

I dont understand why nerf makes a fake air tank!


I am quite sure that that was used for water so if I am correct that bottle isn't doing anything for the gun, please correct me if I am wrong though.



#108354 Supermaxx 3000(blue) Modification

Posted by zxnam on 30 May 2007 - 04:45 PM in Modifications

I have always thought that stock micros were to tight for air guns, interesting...................



#158119 Stefan Issues

Posted by zxnam on 05 June 2008 - 11:29 AM in Modifications

My Method:
1. Take Foam and burn a deep hole and then fill all the way with hot glue so it spills out the top
2. Have a premade ice cup out and ready.
3. Spin the dart in the ice until the dome is solid and perfectly made.

And now you have a dart that is perfect for indoor wars in my opinion. It it also great for secondary's outside. The first darts wont turn out till a dome shape hole is melted in the the ice, so i use a hot glue gun for that.



#109397 Stats 10 Dart Blaster

Posted by zxnam on 04 June 2007 - 04:20 PM in General Nerf

I'm quite sure thats a tek 10 from buzzbee, I have the tek 6 modded, its better than the mav modded but the tek 6 is a bitch to mod.



#110693 Spring Size Question

Posted by zxnam on 11 June 2007 - 01:17 PM in Modifications

Would I have to do anything to the ace #49 like tempering?

The spring is to short so it will still work but have a very loud noise.

#130865 Secretivness Of Mods

Posted by zxnam on 28 November 2007 - 04:55 PM in General Nerf

It's like programming, Everything put out will be eventually topped and made better. If you don't share your mod, it has a 0% chance of being improved upon.



#109468 Secret Shot 1 Mod

Posted by zxnam on 04 June 2007 - 09:59 PM in Modifications

Is this a secret shot 1 or 2? Also pictures make a world of difference.



#109472 Secret Shot 1 Mod

Posted by zxnam on 04 June 2007 - 10:12 PM in Modifications

Ok, i was just wondering because it says ss2 in the mod.



#110733 Rifle Maverick

Posted by zxnam on 11 June 2007 - 04:23 PM in Modifications

So, If I understand correctly, you have to move the whole stock or gun to Prime. Does this decrease the RoF?



#110442 Pvc And Cpvc Help!

Posted by zxnam on 10 June 2007 - 02:32 PM in General Nerf

Ok....
1.So what your saying is that 17/32 brass would fit inside of 18/32 inside of 19/32?


2.And yes i am planning on using shells, would they work with brass. As in, brass breech and brass shells? And if it would help i need it for a titan...

3.And CaptianSlug, i head that 1/2 CPVC has the appropriate ID for stock darts..... Is this true?

THANK YOU SHADOW!!!!


1. Yes but dont go looking for 18/32 brass, its 9/16
2. I am not sure if it would work, you may need an ejector.
3. Cpvc fits the the body not thehead of stock darts. The breack wont work if you use stock darts.

#102774 My Maverick Mod.

Posted by zxnam on 28 April 2007 - 01:11 PM in Modifications

Yes, you can just take out the air restrictors, but i highly recommend that you leave them in unless you do a barrel replacement, I have learned from experience.

#104578 Modding A A Crossfire, Help Plz

Posted by zxnam on 08 May 2007 - 06:12 PM in Modifications

Do you use taggers or stephans, taggers fire better in cpvc than stephans, in my experience anyways.

Very, Very nice. I have a broken mav that I now have a use for. How much did the supplies cost you?



#111898 Maveric Slide Repair

Posted by zxnam on 18 June 2007 - 05:51 PM in Modifications

I would make it flush, but I am worried of it falling even if it is glued. I have it super glued so I dont think its coming out. If you sand it down properly it is not sharp but I will shorten it a little.
