Materials
1/2" CPVC
1/2" CPVC coupler
Teflon or Electrical tape
A better spring (opt.)
Hot glue/Plumber's Goop/your favorite adhesive
Tools
Pipe Cutters
Dremel (opt.)
Screwdriver
I minimized my Disk Shot. Most minimizations hack the excess off at the inner wall, but I wanted the retain the ability to use the ammo holder, so I cut it off even with the trigger guard. The holder is very solid when popped in, but can be removed fairly easily for whatever reason.
Open the gun up. Try not to lose the catch spring, it'll try to pop out. Remove all the ARs.
I replaced the spring with a Tech Target spring. When I give this thing a complete overhaul, I'll put in something stronger. I also wrapped 2 layers of Teflon tape around the plunger head. Note* Teflon tape isn't sticky. If you do more than one layer, it'll naturally stick to itself. Putting the O-ring on over it will hold it down perfectly.
Cut a 5/8" long piece of CPVC. Adhere it to the end of the plunger chamber. I suggest gluing the two orange pieces together, and to the plunger tube itself. Once the adhesive is dry, add a 1/2" coupler.
This step is mostly for cosmetics, though it does add a little stability. Take the orange ring from the front and Dremel it out until CPVC slides through it with no resistance.
Put all the internals back in. Don't forget the two screws in the plunger chamber, and don't forget the catch and trigger springs. I added a bunch of huge Loghomestore FBR for silencing. It works well for that if nothing else.
Close the gun back up. It looks almost completely stock from the outside.
I find that a 3 3/4" barrel works best.
Ranges are about 55' flat with a pair of mini-bungees.
If anything's unclear, don't hesitate to ask.
Questions, comments...?

EDIT:I just thought of this, but wouldn't you do the same thing to coupler-mod a Nightfinder? The internals seem to be the same, so I assume that it would be the same. I'm sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but please excuse my noobness.

I believe he probably favors it for its looks and the feel of the grip.

Not to change the subject, but are you implying here that the foam isn't good for darts? I was considering ordering some...I added a bunch of huge Loghomestore FBR for silencing. It works well for that if nothing else.

Rork: Thanks! These things are clearanced all over the place, I'm going to pick up a few more too. It always means something to me to get a compliment.
BlackFox: Thanks, the ranges do seem a tad low but I plan on overhauling this thing to the extreme. I'm going to do everything possible to squeeze the most performance out of this thing. TTG springs are a bit more powerful than the stock spring. Loghomestore foam is excellent quality and very durable, it's just, HUGE. It only fits in 19/32" brass and larger.
Thanks for all the compliments!

Oh my. That sucks! I'm disappointed at the quality of available fbr. I'm pretty much limited to ACE brand and Frost king. I don't like either. :.(Loghomestore foam is excellent quality and very durable, it's just, HUGE. It only fits in 19/32" brass and larger.
Ok, sorry for the massive hijack.
