I must say it is amazing. I would like to attempt it, but I am unsure about how the water gun comes into play.
The rest looks pretty straightforward. Also, did you use the stock springs or some others. Im going to use the stock ones and a few from a single tek.
Thanks

Holy Fucky McFuckingshit.

Seriously, that's a damn beast. One of the most creative NF mods I've seen yet.

Props to you, Prince of Pistoleering.

two plunger tubes and the bungee, I would think you'd get more range than 85'. Maybe a new barrel material is in order?

Yeah I though I would get a little more range. What type barrel material would you suggest?

One suggestion I would make is that you use a full/chopped down AR-15 Spring

You could try a stronger spring. Like I said I just had this spring floating around and I just used it.

I used the stick squirt gun to bridge the two plunger chambers together.
I used an industrial strength spring and the original NF spring together.

For a barrel, I would suugest a UBS. do a 6 inch PETG barrel with about 2 inches of 17/32 nested in the back of the Petg.

These work great! I just made one for my 3K

If you don't have those materials, do a nested brass barrel

So...instead of using the turret on the 3k you singled it??


Also, I'd probably go with a bit more than 6", since you want the added accuracy with any type of crossbow gun.

Well, I had to single it since there was something wrong with the turret.

Back on topic- That piece of CPVC by the grip is an ammo holder right?

What a coincidence. In past day or two I was just thinking about doing this, I dismissed it after thinking a while about it. Good job, but there are definitely major improvements needed.

Its kinda like that. Look at my second post on the first page. I explained it there.

That sucks, I love all of my 3k's desperately and would be sad if any turrets broke.

[mystefansdontflystraight]

Almost done mine!!
Im sooo excited.
I previously hated the NF, but now it is one of my favorites.
If your name wasn't above it, I would have guessed that FA did it.
Great Job and man seriously cool.

Cool. Post a pic of it here when you are done with it. I want to see.

Not to necro this but it has been over a month now and I thought I would tell people how the NF CrossBow is holding up. I have taken about 200 shots with it and it has held up really well. I have not seen any loss in range and the plunger rod has held up nicely. I did some barrel experiments with longer length CPVC and OMC PETG.
The CPVC at one foot I lost about 10'. I used 6" of PETG and lost 5'.

Again not to necro this but I thought I would tell people how it has held up.

If possible, can you please try this mod with a short, two or three inch barrel with a tagger? I don't use stefans, but this mod looks really interesting, and I want to know if I get a range improvement even without a long barrel if I combine the plungers of two night finders.

I'd be probably better if you used 17/32" brass. It fits stocks tightly and would be great for a springer.

[Kid Flash]

Or cpvc... I shave mine for a loose fit... so normaly it would just be insanely tight.

[bogboogalars]

What kind of razer to you use...but really how do you shave it.

I just got back in from trying out what you said. With out the bungees I got about 60-63ish range. With bungees 65-67ish. Hope this helps.

Oh for the love of god! Read the damn CoC, this post is 3 months OLD. And to ask a pointless question like that! It probably took him an entire day.

This was actually something you should have PMed me about instead of necroing this topic. It took me about two weeks to do all the planning and making of everything. It would have taken me less time but I put it off for a couple of days.
