Ok everybody, my current ATC2k (Airtech Carbine 2000) broke, so I went and bought another one from my good friend, Blackfox. For some reason I don't comprehend, he plumers gooped the inside of coupler, half way up, so that goop was sticking to the white thin piece in the middle. So when I ripped off the coupler to put mine on, that thin white piece, snapped off. Now, I'm thinking, " Oh frick, i'm screwed." But then I realized this could solve a problem I had with my airtech before. When I loaded my dart into my barel, I had to push it in a couple of inches, because the small white peice prohibited my dart from being flush to the end of the PTEG.

So this is what I did.

Supplies needed:

19/32nds brass

Plumpers goop

Hacksaw




Ok, so first take the airtank of your at2k and saw that aforementioned white piece with your hacksaw, like so



Then, Cut a 1-2inch segment of 19/32nds brass and plumbers goop it on to the airtank. Like so


Finished product:



Sand down the outside of your barels, grind the brass out profusely, and there you have it. A nice easy way to add about 10ish feet to your airtech 2000.


Questions, Comments, Flames?

Thanks

Nicely done! If it really does add range, I might have to do this someday. But I'm actually running out of 2k's, believe it or not.

Just FYI, I believe I just used plain hot glue to glue down the coupler. I filled the entire lower half of the coupler to fill in the dead space and make a more solid connection.

Yay for nested barrels! Huzzah!

I'm not sure you even need to cut anything. I was messing with my tank tonight, and the longer thinner white piece just popped loose. The thicker section at the base is still a half inch long leaving a great spot to glue your barrel to.

crap...posted in wrong window...re-posting.

Yea I did this too, just waiting for goop to dry for something else...

I also cut the edges so it was more of a V, I think that may be good too.

Seal up the dead space or use 9/16ths barrel to go into the 19/32nds and have PVC as a sleeve. Or just cut the coupler to have no dead space at all. Use about 7 inches or so of barrel. Leaves 5 inches or so barrel for a NiteFinder.
