I just singled mine last week, as well as added 2 other springs (recon and nitefinder) and the ranges are great! I personally used ice's mod (which i cant seem to find the link for right now)... Make sure when to always measure 5 times, glue and cut once! (sorry for the crappy photo, itouch's cameras suck)

Thanks! I just put a Recon spring in with the Longshot spring and I now get ranges of 140-150 feet!

Flat or angled ranges?

I found some money a few weeks ago. So, I went Home Depot and bought an 8 Feet Long 1/2" CPVC Tube, A Bag of 10 1/2" CPVC Tees, 1 1/2" CPVC End cap, and some E-Tape. I have successfully singled a Longshot. The only problem is the air seal. There is a huge leak where the Tee and the replaced CPVC where the dart originally would go. I don't know what that's called.

i tried 1/2inch cpvc from home depot and it was too big to fit in the internals of the longshot, how can i fix this?

Are you talking about the black circle where the breech connects to the plunger tube assembly?

Are you sure you're not talking about SCH 40/80 PVC rather than CPVC, because I know for a fact that my 3 local Home Depots all don't have CPVC, although yours may carry it.

So exactly where do you live that Homie D's doesn't have CPVC? Evry one I've ever been to carries it, over by the copper tubing.

I don't want to speak for KoRnEd here, but I live in San Diego, California, and I know for a fact almost none of the hardware stores around here (Home Depot included) carry cpvc. I had to go to some place downtown.

cpvc and i kind of found a solution, i used copper that was half inch and then i connected it to places that need cpvc and i did wat ice did by using 1 inch cpvc as the back piece that pushes the spring and plunger back

[KoRnEd]

Ah, nice, I wonder what the diam measurements are for that black piece...? By the way I live in the Los Angeles area. Maybe it's California home depots that don't carry cpvc (what about you robo since you live near me...) I can only seem to find cpvc at OSH. (by the way, gearsofhalo, I recommend you put some capitalization in your sentences otherwise an admin may become angry or annoyed about that.)

That's good you found out a way, gearsofhalo.
