Ok so I tried to brass breech my longshot and now i cant get it to prime everything else works fine. I followed SG Nerfs guide on mod works and the only thing i did different is i cut the bolt like half a centimeter shorter cus I mangled the end of my brass. Im really hoping that didnt screw me up because ive already glued everything together. I know people are gonna ask for pictures but it wont help cus pictures are not to scale so Im basically looking for some tips and suggestions to use on my next longshot. By the way I got 4 Longshots for $150 on ebay so I can screw up 2 more times but would rather not. Hopefully ill have some pictures soon once i get out of "noob phase" and actually manage to make something cool.

I know it sounds basic, but it really does help to make sure everything is aligned right in the shells. More specifically the boltsled alignment is what gives me most of my problems. It also would help to know which direction you mean by prime, I assume it's the moving of the bolt back to compress the springs. Furthermore, the grammar of your post could use improving, such as capitalizing "I" and using apostrophes.

You most likely glued the bolt nub (the part that connects the bolt to the sled) to far back on the bolt. You can fix that by adding some padding to the front of your plunger head. I'd suggest adding a few sheets of 2mm thick sticky backed craft foam. That should fix the problem.

Thanks "andtheherois" that sounds like the easiest fix so I don't have to try and unglue everything.
