Directions
At2k Pump Plugged Internals Modding
Open up your Speedloader, and remove the turret, and all the auto advancing garbage in the bottom of the gun, Dremel out anything that has to do with the auto advancing turret on either side so you are with a plunger tube, plunger, trigger, and trigger mech.
(Pay no attention to the location of the at2k internals)
Cut off the stem of the at2k within about 1/16 of an inch of the airtank to increase airflow. Cut off the Goo Gauge and Goop it to seal. snip the yellow hose an inch away from the Goo gauge and install 3-1/2" inches of the 1/4 vinyl tubing with the connectors. Goop the two connections to seal and e-tape them to make sure. Cut your 1/2" PVC connector an 1/8" away from the middle and put the smaller half aside. Goop the cut end of the PVC coupler directly to the Airtank.
CRUCAL TRICKY PART: Use one pair of pliers {A} to stabilize the firing pin and use the other pair {B} to bend the pin into a U shape. If you do not stabilze Pliers A you will be majorly fucked. It will leak like a bitch and you will either have to open it up and replace the seals, or goop the connecting part of the pin to the maxx and hope for the best
Close the two halves and use the smaller half to inscribe a circle with a knife where the pvc will come out of the front of the shell. Dremel where you have inscribed. Place the at2k tank in a place where the pvc connector stick out of the shell about 1/2." PUTTY THE SHIT OUT OF IT, and let it dry It took mine about a day. Drill a 1/16" hole in the wall in front of the trigger closest to the right end of the shell.
After your At2k is in place, crimp up your cable with a small loop on either end so that it runs from the Bent U firing pin, under the tubing, through the wall in front of the trigger. Keying the exposed loop. hot glue the tubing onto the wall surrounding the trigger so that it does not interfere with the trigger mech and loops around to the top of the handle closest to the trigger.
Goop the pump to the bottom of this side of the shell so that if it ever (god forbid) has a malfunction, it can be corrected again by opening it up.
Speedloader Springer Modding
Unscrew the two orange peices that hold the plunger tube in.
Dremel off the stem on the end of the black plunger tube, drill about 9 small holes (too keep the plunger from popping out while increasing airflow) in the front of the tube. Cut the other coupler in the same way 1/8" away from the middle and put the small pat aside. Goop the large part on the cut end to the black plunger tube. I hotglued a small peice of wire to the end of the coupler to keep the stefan from getting sucked into the plunger tube. Etape the plunger to make a better seal and cover it in silicone lube. Drill a 1/16 hole in the back of the plunger rod and thred the cable through it crimp it, thread it through the back as well, loop, and keyring. Strech the crap out of the Nightfinder spring and cut it so it is the same length as the stock, and twist them together. put the whole thing back together.
All together now.
Close it up and paint as you will.
