I'm officially retiring the Show Off Your Crossbow thread. In the future you can post them here in the mods/pj thread.
http://nerfhaven.com...?showtopic=8792

And just to keep with that theme, here are the LGLF's Crossbows



From left to right: Groove's Guru MK 3, Langley's modified crossbow, Gears' Ellen Page (Split internals, doubleshot), Muttonchops' crossbow with Split internals, JLego's modified crossbow.

Crankymonky's crossbow(s?) not pictured.

Made a stampede smg in about an hour. Shoots in the 70s and hits hard, but that's all I need for a secondary.


Two handles make it more accurate.

[jack546]

this is a painted maverick preaty cool but i modded out the internals and the plastic that holds the plunger snapped

[Eraser475]

I got this tek-6 at Wal-mart a few days ago for $2. I thought it would be easy to mod, but I thought wrong. My friend has one where you can take the turret off with one screw. Mine had some plastic covering the slip-mech. I had to cut around it carefully with a scrollsaw. I finally got the barrels off and the slip mech just falls out loosely. I glued that back in and re-barreled it. Then I realized I had glued the rotation mech in the wrong alignment, so I took out the auto rotate feature. This thing has been the biggest pain in my ass, ever! I am glad this finally worked out. *Mutters something about buzz bee making things a pain in the ass*

Painted and Brass Breeched longstrike, remarkably good i.e 40-45ft ranges. Painted before the whiteout line came out.


New Style 4B with 12" brass barrel, hits expected 110+
Haven't needed to reinforce yet as the new style lever trigger works really well.


Shorty maverick, for "awful secondary" rounds i occasionally have.


Nite finder with 17/32 brass breech, many spring additions and minimised.


Angel Breech longshot with cosmetic recon barrel. Added recon, longstrike and lanard shotgun spring. Hits 75-80 with streamlines, 85 with stefans because of a crappy dart - barrel fit.

Im pretty sure I never posted this but if I did, oh well.
My personal Nitefinder. Coupler'd it Blue's way.

The other Tek-4:

[roboman]

So, my mom gave me an Eliminator for Christmas...


It looks pretty normal...


Of course, it's not. I preloaded the spring with some masking tape, so that it's at full compression when it's cocked.


I also made an aluminum barrel. It has a .485" ID for a nice, tight springer fit. The groove for the O-ring is a few thousandths shallower than the stock one, so the seal is almost perfect.


The seal is so good that I had to install a piece of .032" music wire to prevent the dart from getting sucked into the plunger.

Ranges are decent, around 45' flat with a good dart. Of course, it can go much farther if you dart-punch with it.

Nitefinder painted to match my PAS:

Okay, so I got another contract up, this one is for Jonrd, who by the way is a fantastic guy to work for. He likes to push my modding skills further with every build, this being one of the trickiest builds to date. It is NOT a LSFG integrated into the LS like usual, it's in fact an internal shotgun pump. I remember seeing something similar years ago, but have never found it since. So unless someone can bring it, or something better to my attention, I'm going to go ahead and dub this "The Cleanest Pump Action Longshot Ever Made".

It doesn't have much for power mods do to the nature of his game-play, so it only hits a good 50 feet, but I've had this same breech design send weighted streamlines 140 feet, level shot. But it has the same streamline/Stefan accepting brass breech I put in all my LS's, full reinforcements, sound dampening, and a single color base coat upon his request. I do accept any and all contracts, no matter how big or small, preferably big, so if you're interested in something, PM me. I'm especially good at Longshots, Nite Finders, AT2K's, and clean integration's.

And a far out view doesn't give the logo the credit it deserves so.......

By the way, this is all hand painted so yay for me, I'm pretty good at painting

Draw-Extended Tech Target (ala taerkitty)


1/2" Couplered LBB


CPVC Breeched Sonic Bazooka

[landstricker]

Here is my modified Maxshot.



I added a 1/2" pvc coupler, took the trigger lock out, and put some goop on the plunger head.



I also filled in the gap around the coupler with epoxy putty.

Mine's better. Cept' it broke. Please pardon the mediocre picture.

My couplered Hydro cannon that awaits a pump:

[nerfispwnage243]

Finally finished the detail work on my Stampede, and I know what you're thinking... Where is the orange? I'm adding some bright neon orange on the tip of the barrel so don't worry about it.


Also, I modded a Recon for a friend of mine, full brass breech and spring replacement along with reinforced plunger tube so it doesn't break as easily. I did a little cosmetic work too, nothing too crazy.

These reflect taerkitty's truly awful personality and ethos and my love of pointing lots of things at things.

It's a shame that I didn't get my hands on a Crossbow before the "Show Off Your Crossbow" thread was retired. But here she is in all her glory.

Name: Hendrix(name given to it by previous owner)
Mods Done: Level "Good Enough." Replaced internals.
Integrations: None, used to have an at2k tank then a lightning blitz after that. Blue has since fixed her back to her original shape.
Comments: Bought her from Blue. This thing has a rich history. Here's a post of her in the "Show Off Your Crossbow" thread by a previous owner.

SpyGear Rocket launcher

Another halve couplered and minimized Nitefinder:

[chavez guy]

1.25 to .5 inch bushing in the PT of my PAS. Kills dead space, but then I end up making more because the hopper can't be flush with the bushing. Oh well. I tried.


Shows off the nitefinder handle I E-puttied on there. It is quite stable, but i don't know if it would last that long if I tried ripping it off. But it works.


Choppered quad-shot. I effed up the turret and was just frustrated so I singled it. And stuck a chopper on there. It gets a perfect seal witht he stock skirt. And to you nay-sayers, YES, I did keep the trigger pressed down while testing to prevent the ratchet plunger rod from catching.


My draw extended nite finder with bigass speedloader. Write up here.


3K overhauled Ryan style.


2k thrown together from spare parts. Yes, that is a LSFG handle.


Titan shotty. Shoots three, or 6 at a time. Has a speed loader thing and a 1/2 inch PVC frame.


The longshot that has had like 6 attempted modifications to it. I just singled it so I wouldn't mess up the parts anymore. PEX barrel. CPVC, for all intents and purposes.


Couplered Harpoon Blastah. Came with the effed up OPRV, but pumping it like 10 times (as per either baghead's or muttonchop's suggestion, not sure who told me) unstuck the valve. I minimized it in a way that leaves that comfy fore grip so I can easily pump it, but leaves space for a hopper or RSCB or speedloader or inline or deoderant clip or slide breech or missile attachment or shotgun attachment or what-fucking-ever I would want to put on it.

Thanks for looking at my work. I have more coming, for anyone that cares.
