There is very little reason to try to make this gun more than it is, but a co-worker paid me this to do it so I was left with little recourse



Two aspects were involved:
1) Better Spring
2) Better barrels

In no way did I achive either of these, but you can now learn from my mistakes.

Ace spring: perfect size an hella more power



First problem: The pressure of the new spring bends the cocking rod (har har), so I replaced it with more better metal. Here you see the old piece (removed) and the piece I cut off a weight grip.



BUT…The holder for the cocking rod will now be ripped out.

Here is the solution: 1/16” steel cable secured around the cocking rod mechanism bar thing.



FAIL #1

The barrels

I tried to put 10 pieces of 1.25” 17/32 brass with e-tape in the now pegless holes



This gun was designed by heartless soul-murderers: There is no way to do this easy.

The only wayto do this right is to have either a 17/32 drill bit or to remove significant portions of the turret…like in the mod directory.

If you fill the top and the bottom in with 9 sticks of hot glue it in no way makes a seal.





FAIL #2



Only good aspect: you can take the accents off for easy painting.



So I singled the b-word and threw it in the bottom of my Nerf bin to rot and die. I hate it, I hate all Tek 10’s, they can all die in fire.

I concur with that opinion.

What a waste of brass... I hope you were able to salvage the pieces.

[Galaxy613]

Sounds like my experience with my Tek 6.

That had to be alot of money in brass!

Well that sucks, what a waste. But in doing this you've showed everyone to stay away, thus preventing failed mods on this gun from happening again.

I have an idea. Keep the rotation mec and put in a 2k instead of the stock internals.

Yeah, like $10 in brass plus a spring, cable and cable couplers, buckets of hot glue, and about 2 weeks of trial and error.

However, this was a commission job for a co-worker and the two cases of Guinness MORE that made up for it ...and helped get through it.

Also, the guy who commissioned this got fired before I finished.

As a completely tasteless joke:


If I were running a company, and one of my employees commissioned work on one of these, I'd fire him too!




(Just a joke,obviously is isn't good someone lost a job)
