sorry if this is in the wrong section, but has anyone made a brass breech for a EAT or retaliator?

Oznerfnerd made one for the EAT a while back. As always, using the search function would be helpful.

That could work. If you look up ACNerfshop on youtube, they did something very similar to that on their retaliator. However, that only gives you a tighter fit on the darts, whereas a brass breech would provide a sealed breech system. Nonetheless, it should still increase the range, but the range increase won't be as significant as in a reverse plungered blaster (in blue's mod, much of the performance increase is due to the fact that the AR was removed. However, removing the AR in elite guns doesn't provide much range increase) or if you added a brass breech. Are you planning on using stefans or stock darts?

stefans

stefans

Assuming you are using stefans around 1.5 inches, I would go a brass breech and some stefan modified clips. If you are using streamline length stefans, you could just use blue's mod.
EDIT: I'm out of posts, so I'll just have to edit my post to reply to you. You can stefan mod your clips to fit pretty much any size you want, so yes you use Stefan modded clips. If you really want a clip fed stefan shooting gun though, you should really just angel breech a longshot.

I'm using 1.1-1.5 inch Stefans, would a modded clip work?

So if I were to go with just shoving a pice of brass down the barrel would I want to do blue's method of cuting the brass to shape of the bolt, or ac's method of just shoving a chunk of brass down the barrle?

I would suggest doing ACNerfshop's method, just because it is more up to date. Also, I'm not sure the AR is the same in the Recon as the elite guns. However, I know that ACnerfshop uses a 17/32 bit to drill out the barrel before inserting the 17/32 brass, so you might want to keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that I haven't actually done this before, so I'm not completely sure how it'll work.

thanks, the reason im doing this is because my stefans have a good cpvc fit but a bad stock nerf barrel fit

No problem, glad I could be of help.

Moving to Modifications. No idea why this would go in Off Topic.
