Okay, so. The materials needed are:
Hot glue.
Crayola marker.
One nightfinder. (Duh).
Silicone lubricant.
Electrical Tape
Start by hollowing out the grooves inside the crayola marker.


Take the original barrel male "coupler" and take off/pry the ridge off.

Place the crayola barrel in, wrap the base of the barrel (the part you're putting in the "coupler") in one or two layers of e-tape and wedge it in there.

Put it back onto the piece that it goes onto that goes onto the plunger tube. (Confusing sentance there..). Start doing what angel did to his BBB. Fill in the dead space with hot glue.



After that, just spray silicone lube down the barrel.
I'm using stock darts, the stock spring, and I'm getting 45-50'.
Q / F / C's?

How much difference in range does this have over a regular crayola barrel?

A barrel held in with only hot glue isn't likely to stay put for very long.

About five to ten feet.

I know that, I have high strength epoxy and heat activated epoxy. I can't use the first because it smells quite bad and my parents / neighbours complain if I use it inside or out. I use ventilation too. The second epoxy would've melted the part of the NF that the barrel is attached to or it would've melted the barrel. The epoxy wouldn't of melted it, the heat gun that I need to activate the epoxy would. I have no other adheisive either (besides hot glue).

You must have really demented epoxy... I know it smells bad, but the smell goes away after a while, and isn't that noticeable outside. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but I seriously doubt that the smell could find its way all the way into your neighbor's houses.

Throw that stuff away and buy some JB weld 2-part epoxy steel.

Perhaps a piece of wire or fishing line at the base of the barrel would be a wise idea to keep darts from falling through the back end and into the plunger chamber. I know you're using stock darts, but even Streamlines run that risk.
