I don't have a Do It Whateveritis nearby... I'll have to look for those springs elsewheres.

Also, given that plunger stroke remains the same, you're actually better off keeping the wall in place and cutting the spring to fit.
Finally, get a real barrel, as your darts can be seen spiraling out of control.

Wow! Impressive. I especially like the bunny hopping around in the background.
I'm pretty sure that was a squirrel (judging from it's long tail, and that it's more common to see a squirrel in backyards instead of bunnies).
For the video, I clicked it a 5 star. The video quality was great, explanation was clear, and results were all legit as we could clearly see from the vid, but like Schizo said... just wished such a well preformed mod was done on a more deserving gun then a LS front gun.

I would disagree since so many people like to attach this gun to the front of their LS. This has a bit of potential. Good mod, though limited on its usefulness.

So far 35% of the 20 that voted on my arsenal said they wanted more of the LS. I just got this mod together a couple days ago, right in time to make a video. This was meant more for the kids wanting to beef up the range on their lsfg. Many non-nerfers I have found don't have any idea how to use a LS or Recon and end up tearing my darts to pieces jamming them in the guns. But the lsfg is so simple and easy that no one can mess up using it.
Zorn's Lemma has a couple points. In all fairness my backyard does go uphill, so a small angle should be allowed I think. Cutting the spring and leaving the wall I cannot agree with. I tried many spring combos before this, and found the full length of a grounded spring is always better than cutting one up and having one end uneven, because the spring will not compress right. A new barrel might help for stefans or customs, but streamlines are always inaccurate at higher speeds anyway.
There is the question of whether the gun needs reinforced. The #47 spring is powerful, but I have not noticed any strain on the internals yet. So far I have not found anywhere to order the springs online. Many Do-it Best hardware stores could be locally owned and may have different selections of springs. It took several tries before I found this exact combination that worked. I will see about getting the measurements of both springs.

Hey...I got a crazy idea: how about you stop all that sigging stuff? It's not even my thread and it annoys me.

As a compromise, you can add a wood block rather than the stacked pennies, and cut the spring to 2/3 the length.
Or, if there's enough room for the spring to still compress, add a few more pennies/wood block to pre-compress the spring.
The first method will give you a higher spring constant for a given plunger draw, whereas the second method takes the given plunger draw and shifts the starting energy state to a higher one.
Both of them should give an increase in power, which doesn't necessarily contribute to increased range, but will under other conditions (like a real barrel )
