Ok so I feel like I can't be the only one who finds McMaster Carr incredibly frustrating to navigate and find exactly what I need. I thought It would be very helpful to make a Guide here where people can post likes to specific items that moders would find useful. I personally only know of a few things, but I will get it started and post what I know, and if people could post other useful links I will add them.

Springs

Name: [k26] 9637K26
Notes:Very powerful upgrade spring, requires reinforcement.

Name: [k25] 9637K25
Notes:Good general upgrade spring for many nerf blasters.

Name: K14 9637K14
Notes: Stupidly strong. Almost always used in homemades because factory plastic can't take it.

Name: K45 9662K45
Notes: Similar in size, but stronger than K25s, and cheaper.

Name: K34 9662K34
Notes: This looks to be a possible middle ground between the [k26] and K14.

Name: K31 9662K31
Notes: Similar in size to [k26] but cheaper.

Tubing

Name: PETG 2044T43
Notes: Good airgun barrel material, slightly larger than CPVC

Name: Clear PVC
Notes: Exactly what the name says, pick the desired size/diameter.

Other:

Name: Push Nut Fasteners
Notes: Used to replace fastener on ERTL rapid fire shotgun rotation mech. (I personally don't know exact one you need)

Name: Polycarbonate Sheets
Notes: Clear sheets of polycarbonate used in some homemades.

This type of list already exists here. What you might want to do is duplicate nerfnrg's list, with links included. His list is more than two years old, so its probably worth revising and updating.

Thank you for this spring guide! I was confused with the vast array of numbers on their site before, so a stronger than/weaker than guide is very nice to have! Hope to see this expanded with more info in the future.

Seprest: you can find a nice guide to springs here. Going to Mcmaster first is a very hairy affair unless you know exactly what you want.

I was unaware of a guide that already exists, and seems to be more in depth than mine, so I guess I'll let this just die out. Thank you for letting me know about the other guide tho.

Seals

Name: [Skirt Seal] 9562K46
Notes: A dynamic plunger head seal for 1-1/4" PVC
