I bought the first Recon ever sold within Australia yesterday.Its cool but I felt like modding it. I opened it up and took out the AR, but wasn't very pleased with the accuracy. So thats where this mod comes in. I'm sure many of you have done it before, but I just felt like contributing something new. Please note I did this write up after doing the mod, so not everything (but most things) are in here. But it is extremely straight forward anyway. Also, I'm using Australia measurement, but I have converted them



Materials Needed:
- 16mmx1.0mmx1m Aluminum Tubing (or brass)
- Duct Tape
- Hacksaw
- Hammer



Cut 24cm (9.4 inches) of aluminum and then wrap the duct tape around both ends to create a nice solid seal.



Hammer your newly created tube down the stock barrel extension barrel (sorry for the poor image)



Now to created the protruding 'seal' between the extension and the gun. Attach the barrel extension to your Recon and the lightly hammer the aluminum tubing. This will push the tubing back as far as it will go. If it protrudes too far back, the barrel won't want to connect. If it doesn't protrude enough, it is possible for the dart to catch on the newly installed barrel.



Above is an image of the perfect protrusion. This is as far as you should hammer back the aluminum (or brass)



Thats all there is to it. Simple mod that will give you a nice increase in accuracy plus adds about 5-10 feet. Finished product looks very nice. It even looks a bit like an Angel Breeched Longshot (the barrel sticking just out the front.

Does this add range? Or just accuracy? I know it would add acuracy, but I am not sure if it would drop in range. Did you notice anything?

Thanks. its not really my first mod, I have modded all my other guns. I also created the first homemade shells for the BuzzBee Doubleshot (http://nerfhaven.com...topic=11675&hl=)But this is my first posted mod. Anyway it does add range but its more closer to 5 feet but every bit counts.
