If You Mod A Tek 10

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.
-Guns shoot bullets that kill people
-Blasters shoot darts that tag people
I do not play with guns.

I concur with that opinion.
If at first you don't succeed, add more epoxy.

That had to be alot of money in brass!
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)
