Don't know about you guys, but I love nitefinders. I've pretty much got them down to a "t." I have a ton of spare parts and no spending money, so I decided to throw something together. It's not pretty, but here it is:



The 2k is the second barrel down obviously. The pump is located under that.





The clip:



And the front of the gun without barrels (at2k guts can be seen):



Like I said, it's a bit crude, but it works wonders. Right now I have the trigger set up to shoot both barrels at once. I may in the future go to a trigger like the doubleshot. Pull a little and fire the spring plunger; pull all the way and shoot the air powered 2k internals.

I don't really think this is write-up worthy, so if you have any questions or comments, feel free to post. It's a basic NF mod (industrial spring, less plunger friction, and an added coupler) with a 2k and coupler added. I'll make more clips for the war in July...

[Dayko]

Sweet. Whats the ranges?

[OfAllTheNerf]

Very nice.

Kind-of what I did, only I used an AT3K, and it looks pretty damn ugly (mine). It functions though, so that's a plus. I really need to start working on making my easier to function, and make them look better...

Back on topic, I would also to know some ranges. And how exactly does the clip work? is it just one solid piece of CPVC going through the two 3-way coupler?

Good to see you are doing some more mods now. Your LS mod really got me started on modding.

Props!

Cool, glad to hear it. Thanks, also. I've just been taking pot-shots as of now and haven't done any real measuring. The 2k internals seem to go about as far as that first longshot, about 100 feet. The nitefinder is very close behind. An average of the two is probably about 90-95 feet. Not bad for a shotgun...

VERY cool.

More questions,

Does the AT2K fire with alot of velocity? My LS also goes about 100', but it seems less accurate and not as fast as airguns.

Did you replace the spring in the NF? It looks like one of the "Dart Tag" versions, so probably doesn't have a hefty spring in it (I've never opened one up, so correct me if I'm wrong).

Again, great job. You did what I envisioned when I did my Nasa-3k (except it turned out a little different... and fuglier). I still can't get over how cleanly awsome that looks.

It's actually not as clean as some of the other stuff he's done.
But still cool, nonetheless.

[Carrtoon]

Yeah, the at2k internals pack quite a punch. It dents a cardboard shipping box by a considerable amount. It takes about 2 pumps to be fully primed.

Yes, I used one of my industrial NF springs. The ones I used in my 100' nitefinder. Also, do you have a link to your gun? I don't believe I've seen it and would like to. Thanks!

[Prometheus]

Very nice, it's very clean compared to some mods on here. Excellent firepower too. Are you ever gonna make separate barrels for faster reloading of just the NF?

[Carrtoon]

Gosh, didn't realize things very similar to this had already been made. They weren't in the directory and I must have missed the past threads. Anyway...

Thanks Prometheus. Yeah, separate barrels for the NF wouldn't be a bad idea. Actually, if you look at the clip I made, you can use the at2k barrel as an aiming scope if you flip it up above the NF one.

That thing is freakin' SWEET! It looks pretty cleanly made compared to someothers on this website. I think you should give it a cool paintjob though. Again, nicely done.

That's cool. I just bought my first 3 at2k's, and I'm surprised (by your picture) how big their pumping chamber is. But that's a good thing.

Here is the Nasa-3k.

I think I'm going to make a clip for mine, even if it is a bit big... But I'm thinking about using an 8" CPVC barrel in the NF, for shotgunning.

Thanks!

This is random, but are there really more than 3 versions of the nite finder? I've seen one that looks really odd, its all light blue, and the stock barrel is orange and clear. I know that it's not the 2nd generation one. And now I see this DartTag one. I'm confused....

Yeah, that confused me too. There are all the different colors of nite-finders, yellow, green, and the blue. Then there are the dart tag ones called fire-strikes, which come in red and light blue.

Then there's the legendary black one that shoots 100 rounds a minute at 284Q7 FPS.

[Recruit]

Nice intergartion. Is it me or is the pump tube a really light blue.

lionhead333 yeah right

[WratH]

Whoa, Carrtoon's back? Sweet. Nice gun.

[Carrtoon]

Thanks Wrath. Yeah, there are a bunch of NFs, but it doesn't really make a difference which one you get. The only exception to this is if you plan to use the stock spring.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! Why does it look like theres no plungertube in the first picture of the gun?

That's because I painted another gun NF and replaced the one in this one with it. It's a speckled combination of red, black, white, and purple
