In this post I'll show you how to modify this gun to shoot further and hold 18 darts. First off, you'll want to unscrew the magazine cover. After that, unscrew the cocking handle and the yellow cover plate that spans the length of the gun. Unscrew the rest of the gun.



Now you have to remove the main casing, this is the tricky part. First, take out the little black screw that connects the dart pusher to the flat orange tab coming out of the gun. Next, lift the tab up and pull the dart pusher connector out. Finaly, gently lift the main casing up and half cock the gun, the main casing should pop off. Remove the plunger cover and the spring.



Remove the trigger, the slam-fire bar, and the plunger securing bar.(the piece of plastic next to the plunger with two screws in it)



To increase the load capacity of your gun to 18 darts, simply Dremal off these two spokes in the magazine.




Next, take off the plunger and remove the o-ring.Using a long 1/4 inch drill bit, drill out the air restrictor.



Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the breech hole, but you can simply look over the dart tube until you find a small hole on the side. Then you can wrap one turn of electrical tape around the dart tube, making sure the hole is covered. Put back on the o-ring and the plunger, then insert the bolt assembly into the gun. Then put in the barrel. Next screw in the plunger securing bar, the trigger, the spring and plunger cover, and finally the slam-fire bar. Then pull the cocking handle all the way forward. Slide the dart pusher tab onto its post. Now, very slowly, lower the upper casing down onto the main casing, making sure to let the dart pusher tab through its hole. Screw every thing back together and you're done.

Have you had any feeding issues after sanding down those nubs?

[Ozymandias]

Your pics could be a tad larger.

Question: is the spring in the Quick 16 the same size as the typical reverse plunger spring?

[iknowmy3tables]

cool beans, I think sanding down the nubs to increase the capacity is the best contribution of your write up. I don't see any Q16 write ups in the mod directory, so I guess your write up would go in (of course I have no authority on that). However in the future I think the official directory should also have an AR-removal write up that should include very large and hi quality pictures, because this is a tricky blaster to mod and the placement and positioning of parts can be pretty very tricky (especially when the person you're modding it for gives it to you in pieces ), and there is a lock that can be removed

Question: is the spring in the Quick 16 the same size as the typical reverse plunger spring?

that's a good question, I've modded 2 quick16s and the I don't know the diameter, but I can tell you the shape is different from most clip blasters where one end has a larger diameter, the longstrike I modded before had a similar spring shape but I don't know if the dimensions are the same

I know but not really

The springs are extremely similar, but as I recall the PT is a hair thicker- I could fit a Louie-made RFSG spring on but barely, and ultimately had to put the original back in.

i fitted a stronger spring for quickload 6 on my quick 16...
works as good, BUT it will not prime as good as before.
Does the stock spring bigger diameter at the rear helps in the priming?

None whatsoever.
