Also when you 'tore it apart' did you open the back half of the gun? If you did what I think you did, then you should only need to open the front half.
Unless part placement is wrong, I'm not sure. I simply cut off a friend's barrel and glued on a coupler (Ar's removed) and got 80', no problem.

As for the gun not cocking, I might know what's wrong. There are two orange squares (curved) with pegs on them. One goes on either side of the front portion of the gun. There should be a spring on both pegs. Do you have them?

Damn you read my mind.
When I said it sometimes doesn't cock, I try two time, then the third try it works. The square pegs are there.
Although, because I was curious, I opened up the back part. i put everything back together....or did I?
What do ya'll think? I accually have the thing open as I post this post.

Did you remove the AR's?
Did you just drill the big white circular one? Drill the center of that out, and pop that back in if you did.

What was the magic number for Big Bad Bow barrel lengths again? 8?

Well actually Big Bad Sexy can't use a coupler since it uses the CPVC barrel to fill up dead space, increasing range. But if you have a 3" barrel, that's your main problem.

Well, I hope you're right. I gonna stop buy Lowes tommarrow.
Here's the coupler and all its glory
The site isn't letting me post from ImageShack like before any more. It says something about detecting [IMG]

That's actually really nice.
It's definitely the 3" barrel.
I might have to redo my singled BBB like that...

Cool,

Use 1/2in. pvc, for arrows.
I did the same mod only with a 1/2in. PVC coupler, and added a spring DONT DO THAT! it wont allow you to cock the gun.
Don't want to shove balls in tight spaces. Trust me, bad idea.
For sale: Vintage WWII French rifles. Dropped once, never fired.

Wont allow you to cock the gun? what are you talking about? I replaced mine with a stronger spring and it cocks fine, jut requires a little muscle. And im not a big guy, either.

Good air seal in barrel- SHould be airtight
Good seal between plunger head and tube- Adding an O-ring usually helps
Good dart fit- If your darts are loose or tight in your barrel it will greatly affect distance. The dart should smoothly slide into the barrel, but should require you to push it in.

What kind of O-ring? I got a NF one, will that work?
Also, would E-tape work?

I use 6 inches for stock darts, works better than 9. 9 inches isn't as good when you add a Handyman spring. I'm trying 12" tommorow.
The air seal is fine, just take the plunger tube, and shove the rod in and out with a flashlight at the end, and if you see any light, theres a space where the light is showing. Why is this the 2nd post of mine that sounds really perverted?

Wtf are you talking about? The BBB doesn't use O-rings, its one of those old style crapper rubber sealer things (crossbow, BNA, etc...).

Thanks

Yep. You know the plastic washer thing at the end? I made a "seat" for an O-ring at the end of that with plumbers goop and added a NF O-ring.... I had a faulty seal and it seems that helped.

You take the plunger tube, put a flashlight in it, and if you see any light on the other side, there is a space.

Ohhhhhh. ok.

Ok the seal is bad. How do I put the o-ring again? Could you show me yours? What if I wrap it with e-tape?

I never wrapped my BBB's plunger w/ e-tape. I kept that normal. The other guy had the O-ring setup.
A pic of the O-ring plunger would help.
