I am just wondering if Nitefinders use the same or similar spring as an old Tech Target Gun. I want to do a spring replacement for my TTG so I was thinking I would just use a spring recommended for the NF. Picture if anybody cares.

TTG

lol I care. Anyway, for a DTG, get a handy man spring from Home Depot and cut it down until it is as long as the plugger chamber. Then stick it in with the pointy side away from the plunger head and boom.
Your done.

Thanks. You mean TTG not DTG right? Would I get the handyman spring in the same size people do for nitefinders or is there only one size of the spring?

I thought the TTG spring wasn't as big as the NFs. It is comparable in strength to the 1st. gen. Nitefinder's spring, but shaped differently, thinner and longer. I would just slap a mini bungee on there and call it a day.

Yeah that sounds good as long as it doesn't break the gun. I would rather do more stuff with a NF. Smaller, cheaper, still in stock, and more popular (more mods and stuff).

The spring is, as sam stated, longer and thinner. It actually packs a lot of force in an NF. However, I'm not sure if the Handyman 9713 used in the NF mods will fit into the TTG plunger tube. I believe it's OD is too large. (The 9713 is also the only Handyman spring that is powerful enough, but shaped correctly to be used in a springer).

On the bungies, there should be no problem unless you did replace the spring. Just make sure the hooks don't start ripping up the shell if you handle it roughly. (If you have plastic/rubber hooks as opposed to the steel ones I see in stores most of the time, then that's not going to be a problem.)

I used two mini bungees. The reason I had to do two is cause one wouldn't fit all the around the and cock it in to place. I just wrapped on my bungee around the back of the orange piece that cocks it. I could post a pic of it for you if you want me to.

I know the 9713 spring does not fit in the ttg without rubbing on the walls of the plunger tube, so you definitely do not want to use one. I just left the stock spring in mine, removed the air restrictors, and added a couple of large rubber bands from staples. They get excellent ranges.
