I recently modded one of my at3ks. I put on CPVC barrels. Now, whenever I shoot it, it is nearly impossible to pump, shoots 50ft, and more often than not, the darts fishtail and fly about 5 ft out of the barrel. Any suggestions?
Yes, the pump is plugged.

I hate 3k's. I did the same thing, and had your problem.
Except, mine wasn't hard to pump. I think that's because the pump came unplugged. I can pump it like 45 times and nothing happens, it still shoots the same as when I pump it 4.

my pump is plugged. I believe that unplugging it might help.
I tried it with stock darts just now, and got 45ft. I think CPVC is just too tight for this application, and I should switch to PETG or the like.

CPVC is way to tight for a 3k. I had a 7in barrel on mine and was getting around 45ft, a while ago I but on a LBB barrel and now Im getting around 90ft.
P.S. It is singled.

Fixed the problem. Turns out I bought 5/8 FBR, so it really didn't fit with my barrels. Then I made some out of regular fbr that fits my cpvc, and got slightly higher than average 3k ranges. Im really happy with it.
Thanks for all the help
PS.QUilan, the barrels are 3.5-4 inches im not really sure I didn't measure.
