First I removed the air resticter. That seemed to lose me a few feet. Compared to a stock nf, I usually got 3-5 feet less. Then I taped up where the barrel meets the air chamber for a better seal and gave the spring a little bit of a stetch. That seemed to put me back on par with the stock nf. Then I tried replacing the barrel with a Crayola marker casing, making sure everything was sealed. It lost me about 1-2 feet. I put the stock barrel back in and put in a higher tension spring. That helped, but it was too high tension so it had trouble cocking. I think I can solve that problem by finding a happy medium between that spring and the stock one though.
Anyway, I've got some 1/2'' PVC and CPVC, but the PVC is too wide and the CPVC is just a little bit too tight to fit a stock dart in there.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help or tips you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My darts are fine, and I've got spares just in case I mess any up too badly.

Asides from that though, I really have no idea why these mods wouldn't help your gun. Throw on some goop maybe?

-If CPVC is too tight, try 17/32" brass tubing. I get mine at ACE also.
-Don't tape the barrel on. Use epoxy, plumbers goop or epoxy putty.

Think that piece is beyond repair? Think again!

I'm sorry, what's impossible?

They say, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." What?!?!?!?!
I say, "Screw that! Give me a bigger gun!"

Your gun is vacuum loading, but you're getting only getting 10-15 feet!? This is strange indeed, I would also like to vote that you show us some pictures.

This MAY have happened to one of mine.
Are there any cracks in the plunger tube or where the air restrictors used to be?
If so you should wrap these areas in e-tape
Pics would also be good.

The air chamber is actually airtight. I've been messing around with it and found that silicone lube worked really well. It got about 40 feet without rubberbands and 50 with them. But the next day it was back to being lame again. Am I using the right kind of lubricant?
