Hey guys!

Today i would like to post about my bolt action retaliator. I have some questions which you can see at the end of this post.



From the pictures, you may have noticed that the primer of the gun was removed. As this is a bolt action modification, my goal is to make the gun prime with a bolt, just like a loser rifle. The problem is, i don't know what materials to use as the bolt and how to keep it stable and such.

I'd would love that you comment below some ideas to help me finish up this modification. I would truly love to hear what this community thinks. Thanks for all the help.

p.s. i will be glad to answer any questions you may have that will help you answer my question better.

EDIT: could someone enlighten me on how to post images. thanks

First things first, I see you painted it noob black. No. No noob black. Second, Barrel too damn long, that kills range. Third, I like bolt action too but I doubt you play constantly, pump action is where you need to go. 4th, more pics please,

I wanted to make it bolt action so that i could put things on top of the gun. like tac rails and such.

You can make the blaster pump action & still put stuff on top. Coop recently put up a guide on how you do it.

In the above link, he cuts off part of the stock priming handle (the part with the tac rail, obviously), and then JB welds it to the shell, out of the way of any pump handle you choose to use. That way, you can put any attachment you want on the rail, & have pump action.

Barrel looks cool, but I can't see anything else... Picture problems?

[Langley]

You should probably post photos of the area you're asking about. All we can see is the barrel. While painting your blaster flat black doesn't break any rules, we recommend that you don't give your blaster a realistic paint job. We have a hard enough time with police as it is, without people carrying around something that looks like a real firearm.

A suggestion; drill a 3.5 mm hole (use google to translate to metric, and round numbers for ease) through both sides of the pump slide as far forward as you can, making sure that the holes are in line with the slit in the shell.. Then thread a 4 mm galvanized threaded rod through the hole. The friction should be sufficient to hold it in place, but epoxy is great for assurance. Then thread 3 (4mm) nuts along the rod on each side as far as you can. They should be tight. Cut off the rod 1mm after the last nut on each side, then epoxy the nuts in place using that gap. Take the bolts from a Longshot, Longstrike or Vulcan and epoxy putty then in place over the nuts and bolt. You now have a secure bolt action gun.

Keep in mind that any attachment you add cannot increase accuracy or performance, and any perception to that effect is wishful thinking. Bolt action is awful, and will never be as good as pump action on any blaster. As has been said, use Coop772's method and you'll have a tacticool weapon that actually works in a war. Kudos for the creative thought though.

Alternatively you could just hot glue some Longshot, Longstrike or Vulcan bolts to the side of the slide. That would be just as good, but probably not permanent.
