Your gun is now ready, but you'll need a barrel. Because of the 1/2" coupler, you'll be able to put on any variety of barrels via 1/2" PVC. The barrel that I chose to use, because it suits my darts the best is a 3 sectioned telescoping brass barrel. To make the barrel, take 10" of 1/2" sch. 80 PVC, place inside of that 12" of 9/16" inch brass. The brass should stick 3 inches out of the back (the distance from coupler to coupler, not a coincidence) inside of the 12" brass section is a 6" piece of 17/32" brass. This should stick out the back of the 9/16" about 1/8" of an inch, as little as possible.

12" is stamped all over that mod, as NerfMonkey pointed out. 12" is NOT too short; your liking is just stupid.I tried however i couldn't find where he had his barrell length and the one shown in the pictures is way too short for my liking. Also, is 1/2 inch pvc good because it seems too big for micro darts.
As for the 1/2" PVC, if you read even further, you'd see that it's just a sheath. The mod calls for 12" of 9/16ths brass INSIDE the 1/2" PVC. This means that it's just protecting the brass, which is a good fit for micros, and it also acts as a connector between the barrel and gun through the use of a PVC coupler.
Wow.
Was it really that hard?
Not in the game anymore, but it was great while it lasted. Thanks for the great years of fun, NH!

You're an idiot.Maybe its just me, but how is 9/16 brass going to fit inside 1/2 PVC...
9/16 is deffinately larger than 1/2, and it doesnt matter whether its inside or outside, because either way, 9/16 is bigger than 1/2.
1/2" PVC, not 1/2" CPVC is closer to 5/8" ID where the OD of 9/16ths is just that. Wow, suddenly it's all coming together; the brass fits in the PVC!
Don't believe me? Try it yourself!
Ass.

I have metallic male adapters which go from copper thread to steel thread. I use these in air brake systems and whatnot. Seriously, they go from 3/8" steel to 1/2" copper. I can use them when making PVC guns with CPVC barrels. I might have a 1/2" steel to 1/2" copper bushing somewhere...I'll search for it Wednesday.

Hello, I recently aprehended a crossbow
So you're saying you arrested an inanimate object?
One of my BIGGEST pet peeves is people who throw around "big" words to sound smart.
The word you wanted was "acquired"

If you're going to try to start something, make sure you don't look like an idiot in the first place, because that's what makes people like me mad.
Asshole.

Just use the piping that you feel fits your darts the best. Micros won't fit snugly in PVC so you will need CPVC or brass depending on how big your darts are. The foam tends to vary for everyone. Just experiment with materials until you find what you want.

Barrel length: Depends on the tightness of the barrel. If you're going for a super-tight barrel (like a cpvc barrel), you might want to go less than 9'. If you're going with something looser, or a nested barrel, go with something around 12'. I can't give you any exact numbers due to the fact that our darts may be different. But experiment aroud those numbers. Cut the barrel long, then keep cutting down until you think you've reached optimal distance.
Enough with the flaming. Next person that starts flaming will more than likely get their ass suspended.

Back to nerf... i tried epoxy glue, however, you have to wait too long, and this causes me to have a crooked barrell! what did you do step by stepp? does your barrell ever repostion and you have to put it back to the right place? i want to use dart tag bullets... what is the right material for these? one that has a good fit-

2. I don't see how everyone here has the mindset of making everyone act "mature," but if someone new asks a question they either bitch about how stupid they are (what happened here), or tells them to read other posts. I know it is part of the Code of Conduct or whatever, but if you are going to spend your time doing that, you may as well answer their question.
3. What I think the original question was how much IS to much... Just because somebody else used a certain length doesn't make it optimal. I have been wondering what the best length for a barrel is for a Nite Finder but I am afraid to ask in case I looked over something and I get a bunch of flaming.
EDIT: I am not just trying to bring back an old topic because I didn't realize the day of posting until now, but I actually am wondering about barrel length and this seems like a topic concering that to me...

You're an idiot. This topic is over a year dead. If you want to follow a write-up, then use their specs. If you want to experiment, then try different barrel lengths. Otherwise, search, because the answer is right in front of you.EDIT: I am not just trying to bring back an old topic because I didn't realize the day of posting until now, but I actually am wondering about barrel length and this seems like a topic concering that to me...

The answer isn't in front of me. Some people say use a 4" barrel for the NF. Some say less. I have even heard people explain how a 4" barrel isn't using the NF to it's full potential. I have searched, and found some equations to figure out the optimal length. That doesn't really help, though, because it was a picture so I couldn't read it clearly...
Like I said- Just because somebody else did it doesn't mean it is the best. Right now I am trying to use parts of different specs, so I am not necessarily following one step for step.

That doesn't mean that you have to post in it. (Now I'll give you another hint. CLICK THE LINK--> Barrels.)You are all the ones that say to search for topics, so why is it my fault that when I search, I get an older topic. If we are supposed to search before asking, it shouldn't matter when the last post is.

I would say err on the side of short. the NF works with a short burst of fast-moving, low volume air. That means,
it dissipates rather quickly. Personally, I would say 4" or under. (also note, the ID matters also. If it is a tighter fit, I believe it would work possibly to have a 5". Loose, I would say a 3.5-4 should work just fine.)

Do you really have nothing better to do?
Personally, I would rather have one topic dealing with barrels, than have a mass of them.
Using the same topic seems to be a nicer, more organized way to function. So that when someone actually searches Barrel lengths in the future, they find one, more composed topic, and not 15 scattered ones referring to older topics somewhere else.
But then again, searching the entire site across multiple topics may be appealing to you. To each his own, I guess.

We do things OUR way here at NerfHaven. No one is twisting anyone's arm to remain here as a member or to post here.
Expect a bit of flames from some of the users who've been around the block a few times. It's in their nature to do so, and the site owners have no objections to the culture of being a little rough around the edges when it comes to digging up months-old (or even years-old) topics.
Many times, the poster of an old topic isn't even active anymore, or mods in question may have changed with materials or techniques in the times following, so digging up an old topic and discussing it is like finding a year-old Big Mac and opening it, then passing it around for everyone to smell. Figuratively, of course.
You all get the drift, I'm sure. We're tough, but fair.
Scratch that.
We're not fair, so tough it out.
Guv, feel free to start a new discussion about barrel lengths and performance. If anyone brings up a flame, the admins will see and deal accordingly. It helps to note that you've searched and only found old topics.
