He didn't "take the barrel off." It's a breach loading mod, so the barrel is removable for loading purposes. The picture he took just had the barrel removed. You take the barrel off to load the gun, then put it back on.should i really take the barrel off though in lvl 4? dosent the barrel give it better accuracy. (btw im talking about the rags mod)

If you keep the barrel on, you'll need a ramrod to shove the dart all the way down. This actually INCREASES the reload time. And it won't fall out if you shove the barrel in the coupler.

If stock micros or mega stefans, use Rag's mod.
If you are using micro stefans, use Ray's mod.

I've heard that trimmed and weighted stock micros also work great.

Many thanks. Just seeing the logos and other guns is sufficient to guarantee that it's not a re-release. Date not required.
It blows my mind that, at the very least, around a hundred nib xbows just materialized out of thin air.

Again, the ramrod vs. breach debate. The Breach is the bettter way to go for a springer. But do not fret somebody (AHEM!) will come by and make a breach that is fixed to the cyllinder with a slide.I am still trying to decide how to mod my x-bow. I really like rags' but it just seems so impractical to remove the barrel every time you want to reload. Any suggestions?
I called up my nearest Big Lots and they are out of nerf guns entirely, must have heard the lady over the phone ask everybody and their dog. I am going to a larger city (Salt Lake City) than my little college town to see if there are any crossbows in biglots or a known toy liquidator. If I see any, I'll probably nab 'em, but expect to see a dramatic price difference, the way I figure it, crossbows will bottom out pretty quick here, I may as well be the one to sink everybody's profit margin first.

I mean shit, look at that auction, looks like a scrap book threw up in there.

A few tips:
Instead of cutting out sheet metal to enforce the area where the spring rests on the crossbow inner casing, shoot a pair of thick screws through the area so that the plastic posts rest against the screws. This gives more strength to the mod and it also lessens your chance of flexing.
I didn't notice any real reinforcement to the plunger... get some thin steel rods and mount them on either side of the plunger. Also, very important and often overlooked, you should reinforce the the plastic end of the plunger that the rubber piece sits on. The actual rubber air plunger is the piece I am referring to, all the way on the end of the plunger. I shot a screw through the plunger (after reinforced of course) to give the spring something to rest against on that end of the plunger. This of course reduces the risk of breakage.
Those are the two big things, the rest is pretty simple.
One more tip, if you want to do the "breach loading" idea. I used the stock barrel and fitted a piece of PVC piping on the end of it. Inside this length of PVC is a barrel that came from a chainlink from one of the chain fed guns (Razorbeast and Chainblazer). I cut off the bottom of the chain barrel and shoved it inside the pvc. The PVC then acts as a sleeve that the stock barrel can fit inside and the chainlink can rest against the stock barrel securely. This of course requires you to remove the "extension" to load it, but the reload time is rather short.

I've already done this. Twice. Once on my SM5k, and once on my other SM5k. It's not hard, and it's not going to be new once you do it either.Again, the ramrod vs. breach debate. The Breach is the bettter way to go for a springer. But do not fret somebody (AHEM!) will come by and make a breach that is fixed to the cyllinder with a slide.
I don't know if you can see the breach/bolt too well in that picture, but I'll be sure to take some more if you cannot see it. Just let me know.
Not in the game anymore, but it was great while it lasted. Thanks for the great years of fun, NH!

Would you be able to give me a picture of that, or maybe a paint diagram?....shoot a pair of thick screws through the area so that the plastic posts rest against the screws....
