Hey guys i was rummaging through my old nerf stuff and found a tech target spring and was wondering would it work in a nightfinder with a original nightfinder spring in it also or will it break my gun? Feedback would be nice and can i add a tech target o ring to it because when i put it on with the nightfinder o ring it was a tad too big.

If I remember correctly, yes, it will work. However, it's not recommended. Nether spring is really that strong. Replace it with a stronger spring, and yes, re-enforce it. Again, I'm not positive with the o-ring.

Best option: Try it

First i would intertwine them. Then replace the catch spring then reinforce everything then replace the o-ring. you would then be good to go.

what can i replace the catch spring with and how can i reinforce everything?

[alextwin007]

I use pen springs to reinforce the catch. Sometime you have to cut them down. I used this last night on my TTG.

Just intertwine the two springs, reinforce trigger and catch and other weak parts, and replace catch spring with a pen spring.

Seems to me you answered your own question here.

Voila le reinforcement.

You also have to make sure that the frame of the Nightfinder is strong enough to support the constant slamming against it. I put a Magstrike spring in my Nightfinder, and, the front shattered. So I fixed it, but you should reinforce it in some way. I do not want the same fate to befall a fellow Nerfer.


P.S. I'm not quite sure if this was mentioned in the previous link by Lt. Stefan.

The main reinforcement necessary is a new bolt in the plunger head. This is the main thing needed, and it holds up fine even with industrial springs.
