Now I checked the mod on here but it didnt show much about the air restrictors. I have the new ex-3 (don't know if they are any different) but I cut off the peg in the barrel and am wondering do I take out the air restrictors on both piece (the one with peg and the one connecting that piece to barrel)? because I don't want my darts falling into the plunger tube.

Cut the air restrictor off here:

Either drill a hole through this (not too big - the X is a good marker) or leave it as is:

Depending on how you cut through the air restrictor piece (first pic), it's unlikely for the dart to get past that and then through the second piece (second pic) and get sucked into the plunger tube... unless you ramrod the dart in hard or something...

Thanks, made that easy enough. When I tested it before and after, there wasn't much difference in range. Did I do something wrong or is there a reasonable explanation for this?

Also, put a crayola barrel in the little piece you drilled/dremeled out. This starts a barrel, and you can put PVC on the outside when it is reattached. Make a barrel for it and you have nothing to worry about. There are quite a few topics on that however, so I don't have any further explaining to do.

I also punched the entire X-thing out.

Lord, when you say the punch the entire x-thing out, did you mean just the whole x shape, or like so all that was left is just the outer ring?

I punched out everything, so that there was a direct connection between the plunger and the barrel. I fit my crayola in the little piece in achensherd's first pic.
The X-thing blocking the plungershaft in the second pic was completely removed. My concept for my mod was air-barrel without any restriction whatsoever. Hope that helps.

I think he means he made it so all is left is the outer ring, but don't do that because then the plunger has nothing to stop on, and it could lead to the death of your gun over time.

Edit: He beat me to it.

But if I did leave just the outer ring, when the plunger moves forward wouldn't it hit the ring, giving it something to stop on?

Leave this thing in. The crayola fits into it nicely. This will attach the barrel to the plungershaft. The plunger won't blast through it. It worked on my gun, and on my friend's. We both get the typical NF distance of around 70'.

So in other words, remove that middle connecting piece altogether? Because when I tried to do that, the two pieces have the same diameter do did you just glue/tape it together?

Don't remove it, all you need to do is get any restriction out of the gun. Leave the connector piece in, but take all blockage out. I can't really get any clearer.
