No detailed write-up needed since this is a simple mod that's been done in other mods tons of times.
Was feeling bored last week, so I went to my local Targets store and picked up a BBB and used my Gunblade Barrel mod on it.



Here's a short clip of me testing it:




EDIT!! Aug 31 2008


A quick edit~

I wasn't very satisfied with the mod written above. I read from other's posts that their modded BBB's could reach ranges of 90-100ft on flat shots while mine only did 70's , so I went back to Targets and picked up another BBB and headed down to the new Home Depot that opened up.

They had this strange sized pvc pipe that I've never seen before.



It's a half a mil too tight to fit normal sized darts so I had to sand the insides a bit.
This time I kept the stock barrel's orange barrel to hold the "pvc". It too, was a mil too tight to fit the "pvc", so I had to sand its' insides a bit as well.

Now to take care of the insides
This time I only took out the AR peg and the spring that pushes it forward (leaving the AR alone).
See that stolen pic for a better understanding.



Also, as for the stock compression spring, the spring is actually pretty good. In my previous BBB mods, the springs were stretched and the results were less then satisfying, so this time I'd thought I try it "as-is", and was quite surprised. As I had mentioned before, the previous BBB mod reached an average distance of 70's, but with this mod, even with the wind blowing against me, I shot it 1,368 inches on a flat shot! That's 114 feets!

Anyways, here's what it turned out to look like~







On a side note, while at Targets I also picked up a Nerf Recon and...

Are you just not making videos anymore or are you quitting Nerf?
I'll have to read into your Gunblade mod if my BBB coupler ever breaks. *knock on wood*
You'd think that in rural Georgia one could find brass fairly easily.. but i'm stuck with crayolas for now.

For the love of god.
You finally hit the target!

How Ironic.
This is your last Nerf video.
It is also the same video you finally learn how to aim.

Hey, boomie's back! Is this really your last video?

[Lynx]

I LOVE YOU BOOM13!

Now that that cocksucking is out of the way, I looked at ALL of your nerf videos and they all are WAY better than most other nerf videos on the nets.

I recommend you to peeps...

How great it is you have returned (!), but how awful it is that you are leaving...

My BBB doesn't get great ranges but better than a NF so maybe if all else fails, I'll look to your mods to choose from. Nice to see you again, Alec

b00m13's super clipped bbb was the first video of a modded gun i had seen, and it got me into the hobby. It's sad that you're leaving, but good luck on whatever else you do.

[Blasphemy]

Well, once again, it's a shame what happened to you before. Great to see you again, but sad to know that you're leaving.

Bye bye Boomie.

[trogdor65]

I made this breech, it works great for how simple it is!

Too bad this is your last vid, I really like your work.

[b00m13]

Thanks for all the kind responses guys, and you too Angel (jk)

But I didn't exactly say I was quitting all together, I just said I was "probably" going to stop making Nerf videos (like take a break from it for a while).

But due to popular demands, and threatening comments >_>
I might just take a break from making the videos, and not quit all together.

Anyways, this bump is to let you guys know that I've edited the original post.
Now you can make the gun, with improved ranges, and the whole thing will only cost you less then 4 bucks in supplies (not including the BBB of course). Don't have an electrical rotary tool? DON'T matter, in this last mod, I made the sandings with a piece of sand paper wrapped around a pen and Crayola marker, and I made the cuttings with an Exacto knife.

It'll take a bit longer then with a rotary tool, but sometimes, taking your time is more enjoyable (atleast that's what I think).
