Hello, I am doing a pump action recon mod and I was wondering if this kit will work well with it (AR is not being removed):

No ar removal is necessary cause its just a padding and spring upgrade kit

Ok thanks!

AR removal is not necessary because it's just a padding and spring upgrade kit.

Fixed that to make it clearer (sorry if this is backseat moderating but a Retaliator is at stake here). The kit will work well and will do nothing but enhance the blaster's power. AR removal is not only unnecessary but will eventually break your blaster (usually the plunger rod).

He linked a retailiator kit but is asking about it to use in a recon. Keep in mind it should work but there is no guarantee

Good catch. Not sure if anyone would have experience putting it on a recon...most people avoid them since the Retaliator came out.

 

Or maybe he's even talking about the Recon Mk2?

 You're allowed to correct information.

 

What we don't want is people posting the equivalent of a five year old saying "OOOOOOOOOOOOH You're gonna get in troooooooouble!" every time a new user breaks a relatively minor rule. If we don't like it we'll let them know and close the thread if necessary.

 

While we appreciate the fact that they apparently now know the rules, we don't actually need other slightly-less-new users (who probably made the same mistake just a few months prior) to help call attention to a newer user's mistake.

 

Good rule of thumb: If someone would call you a teacher's pet or a tattletale, you're doing it wrong.

I'm talking about a gear up recon

[NerfGeek416]

That kit will not work. The internals are different. Recon uses a reverse plunger, and the spring has to fit around it. The spring in that kit is designed for a retaliator, and will be to small a diameter to fit over the reverse plunger in the Recon.

 

More generally, reverse plungers suck, and if you want to keep the aesthetics of the gear up PJ, you should replace the internals with Retaliator internals, and then use that upgrade kit. Or, since the PJ doesn't affect performance at all, just buy and use a retaliator.

[Psylocke]

PJ?

[jaxmeh]

Paint job. You need to do more reading before you crack into your recon, buddy. Good luck anyways.

I was thinking of just removing the locks and adding an orange mod works spring, would that work ok?
