I've always liked fireflys more than mavericks. So here is a very simple modification to give the firefly another 15-20 feet.

Step 1: You'll want to follow all the instructions of taking the air restrictors out as seen here:

Step 2: Get your Silicone that looks like this:

They have these at your local home depot. Take your plunger tube and apply a coat over it so it looks like this:

This drastically increases the seal and already gives it another 5-10 feet.

Step 3: Add another spring. I used one out of a broken maverick.

Step 4: Add a thicker O-ring and improve the seal. Lubricate it well with silicone.

Assemble your firefly back together and have fun with it!

Ranges are 55-60 feet.

Im going to do this as soon as I get my FF. I think that I will add a NF spring, or a SS2 spring, if nerfer75 doesn't buy it from me. Is that silicone stuff glue? I couldn't tell by looking at the picture.

It looks like a silicone sealant used around sinks and bathtubes.

It has the same use as plumbers putty. But do not use plumbers putty because it does not like to stick in my experience. When you first apply this stuff, it is like fat (greasy but not liquidy). After about a day, it will not be greasy anymore but it will stretch and compress without giving stress. but it sticks and blocks airflow.
