I am a decent modder, and have come up with an idea for stefans in a raider clip. i have not done this mod yet, but it would be pretty easy to just glue some fbr into the dead space in the drum mag so you could put in small stefans. If you guys have any advice, please tell me.
Thanks

My advice is that if you are sure it will work then go for it. It would be very beneficial to the community if you could show us a functioning modded Raider clip to fit stefans.

I am very skeptical on this particular modification because there is a large gap which only allows stock sized darts or longer stefans to be able to fit in the drum magazine. I suppose filling it with backer rod could be a plan however there is a wire in the large gap which is the rotating mechanism for the drum magazine.

Edit - Hope I helped, and if I didn't, I tried.

You obviously know nothing about the Raider drum. Making it stefan compatible is not an easy task. You can't simply glue things in place willy-nilly. There's a lot of stuff in the road.

Well to make a point, I have made a stefan compatible clip, but the foam that I have on hand is a lot larger than the stock darts so they grind against the outside wall

[pjotrkuh]

Filling the gap with just fbr wont work, because of the pick up prongs that lead the darts into the part that goes in the gun, youll have to remove a good part of them, possibly making the darts jam and mangle int he drum....

[Ironmaiden]

i know, but it was just a concept. i am in the process of doing that. i just realised that and have thought of somthing else to do with just the fbr

My advice is to not make any more concept threads and chat in the IRC if you want support.

We have an IRC?

And I don't think it would be entirely impossible to cut some pieces of polycarb and make a wall of them. Although you would have to cut the follower as well, and most stephans are larger than stock darts and the teeth on the rotating wheel fit stock darts pretty snugly.

I don't have the drum with me at the moment, but if I'm remembering this correctly, there's a peice of black plastic that feeds darts into the "clip" part right behind the part that feeds into the gun. The FBR could not pass through this peice without some cutting. However, this peice may be able to be cut. I'll look into it when I get home.

Why can't you put 1/2" Shedule 40 thinwall PVC, cut in half longways, into the drum? If you cut it to make a small gap were the gear tooth and rotation mechanism are? that way, there would be a way to support the stefan in the drum, and there would be a space for all the mechanisms. A small piece of plastic wall could be put in place in the rear of the half-pipe to stop the stefans from sliding out of place, if they are not stock length.

Please don't give me any crap, this is just an idea.

Dude, seriously. After all of your posts, you say something like "Don't flame." "Please ignore this if you don't think this is humanly possible." Don't post here if you don't want criticism. Because, not all of your ideas will be flawlessly great, and it might actually be good to receive criticism. So stop being so fucking timid and defensive.

In my opinion, somone like CaptainSlug or someone skilled with crafting things from solid plastic should cut out a long, thin wedge to just glue into place. That seems to be the only feasible thing.

[OnyxZenith]

This is impossible, there is a black wire between the gaps, which is connected to a black dart pusher which pushes the last 5-6 darts to the top of the clip and into the chamber, if you cover this space between the trays then the clip will be rendered useless :0

[TantumBull]

This is why acrylic spacers would be best for this application.
