Yes I know i'm a noob, but I was wondering. What is the diference betwen pvc and cpvc. I want to know becouse I can't find any brass anywhere I look and my local home depot had cpvc and pvc. I hered that they both work well but what is the diference?

Uh-oh, serach man search. I would hate to see you get banned.

PVC has a bigger ID than cpvc. CPVC is generally used as a barrel for micro stefans. It provides them with a pretty tight fit. PVC is more for nesting brass/petg or as a mega stefan barrel(since the ID is bigger). Hope this helped, But I'd run for the hills if I were you.

Yes, cpvc would be very good for a NF. You want a nice tight barrel to dart fit for a springer such as a NF.

You've made quite a few posts in the last hour or so, why don't you spend some time reading up in the forums? Questions like this have been asked before and you should be able to get some info that way. Failing that, we'll need a lot more information from you before we can help diagnose your problems.

I'm so sorry! I'm used to typing in word where it automatically corrects my problems. I swear it will not happen again! Just please don't ban me, I'm new and I'm trying to get the rules down. I've read the code of conduct many times now. sorry again. What kinds of things will everyone need to know to fix my problem. If you need to know my process of working, I did what you'r site told me. The only difference is I used a copper barell instead.

Please don't ban me!

For most darts, copper isn't nearly tight enough to be a good barrel for a Nite Finder. For spring guns you want either a short, snug fitting barrel or a longer nested brass barrel. The material you need depends a bunch on the exact size of your FBR though so check around at the hardware/hobby store with an actual dart to see how it fits.

Ok thank you for all your help. I'll have to cheak my hobby stores to see if they have any brass, becouse so far i've been out of luck.
