Alright so everyone knows the maverick is not a well liked blaster. But one day I was at a friends house and his mom bought him 3 new mavericks so he and I had a war with the stock mavs. I found that they were not that bad. Think about it it is not that big and it has six shots as with a modified nf if you miss with your 1 shot you are screwed.
So I thought if I modded it to its max power it might be usable also i did not see any barrel mod write ups for this gun here so here I present SeVeN of NiNe its my first write up so bear with me.


Alright first open it up



Then you wanna do this to the plunger rod I used 3M electric tape and lubed it up.



Next Place 3 or 4 penny's behind the plunger tube this helps compress the spring more


ok now you see that little plastic nub?




Grind it off




Now you see that plastic nub?



Grind it off too This part of the mod will allow the chamber to open up all the way


Alright now open up your turret


remove the air restrictors so this piece looks like this


and cut off the stock barrels at the red lines


Now add 3" petg barrels. They fit great in those holes just add a little hot glue to seal it


do that until you get this



Now close it back up and you have this.



I put #7 stickers on the side and a #9 sticker on the bottom




Ranges
1 43'
2 46'
3 49'
4 47'
5 50'
6 48'


All in all it makes a great indoor sidearm and its also good for small backyard style outdoor wars.
and its one of the most comfortable guns I have ever held too. Except for my crossbow of course.
It will never replace my trusty night finder but it is not as bad as everyone says it is.

I know the pictures are blurry sorry. My digital camera is a cheap 3 year old camera and it does not focus
very well.

Good Job on the mod it looks good.

Here I expected to see some sort of Borg influence / integration on your blaster, or at least a picture of that hot chick with huge knockers from Voyager. I was disappointed in both regards.

I wish my mav wasn't gone for all eternity. I threw it into the depths of hell. I was frustrated. But good mod. Next time, try putting your camera on a flat surface and/or buy a tripod for it. Holding it with your hands, you wil never get a good picture.

Would you see a problem if you were to use brass instead of the PETG?

Not realy but it would make it weigh alot more and that might make it harder to rotate the turret.

[PointBlank]

Wow I was just about to say the exact thing as blink_128. I am glad i checked before posting.

I hadn't thought of using PETG barrels... That's a good idea! Personally, I love the maverick. Sure, it requires modification to be a substantial weapon, but it's pretty awesome looking.

[Omega]

That's a nice mod. I've tried Baghead's mod a few times, and I think I screwed it up because it turned out... unsatisfactorily. But I'll be snagging some PETG soon, might as well grab a new Maverick, too.

:props:


Groove, I expected the same thing. At least about the Borg, I hadn't thought of the huge knockers.

-Groove

I completely agree Groove. I was expecting some sort of creation inspired by StarTrek but was slightly disappointed. Over all the mod is good, your ranges seem a bit iffy in my eyes but thats just me. Basically everything you did here has already been done. You just put it into one blurry guide. I'm not saying it was bad, quite the opposite, I thought it was good. And Groove a little off-topic you're thinking of Jerri Ryan, she also played in Boston Public or what ever it was.

Are those ranges flat or angled? Those are really good for a stock spring. I did the penny mod, straw mod, and the drop out clip and my ranges are barely farther than stock. That is compared side by side with my stock one. Maybe it's time for a barrel after I get the slider fixed.

Ohh, In my opinion don't use brass, 5 bucks worth of brass can be better used elsewhere. I doubt it will shoot much farther than seven of Nine, the gun simply doesn't push that much air.

[sn1per]

Just a warning to whoever does the penny mod- Don't put too many pennies in. I put too many in and the slider pegs broke. My mav will never be the same again. I think i used too much glue because i only used 4 pennies like he said.

Yes do not add more than 4! The mavs cocking mech is extremely weak. I used 3 but 4 should be safe
