Topics I've Started

.22 Master Exam Design

03 February 2012 - 04:07 PM

Okay, so in the Netherlands we have a project, that you have to succeed before graduating. There are no rules, exept that it has to do something with you subjects (mine are more technical).
So I chose to make a .22 caliber hunting rifle. This is my design:

Longstrike OMW unleased 1 hand priming

28 January 2012 - 04:10 PM

Okay, so I bought my little brother a Orange Mod Works Unleashed kit 1 for the Longstrike.
So, after receiving, installing and AR removal we tested the blaster.
No problems, just that he has to prime it with 2 hands cause otherwise the bolt-sled bends, since we in the Netherlands only play in gyms, indoor, is ROF essential.

So does anyone have a solution/idea? I know that OMW also have 5 kg springs, but that 1 kg shouldn't make to much of an difference for him.
I thought reinforcing the bolt-sled would prevent it from bending, but Jun told me that wouldn't help.
Please help me out here!

Thnx for attention!

Longstrike tilted

01 November 2011 - 05:09 PM

Hey!
Since I installed my new spring for the longstrike, I'am having trouble priming it with one hand.
The bolt will be pulled on one side, which makes the boltsled tilt. Because of this I get more jams, reloading issues (because the plunger isn't going flush into the dart reciever)

Do you guys perhaps know a way to still be able to prime with one hand, but not having these issues.
Yes, the spring is from OMW, I'll also contact their enigeers, but perhaps one of you has had the same problem, and found a fix for it!

Yeap, I lik those! I can answer some detailed questions about the blasters, but it will take some time since I may have to contact the modder himself..

Nerf Recon, with 2 new mods!

16 October 2011 - 05:08 AM

So since a week or 4 I've been spending every day modifing, testing, painting, repainting, etc. etc. this beauty:

That's the paintjob, still needs a little work!
I'am not gonna make a regular topic, with all the mods in it, cause then it would be a very long, boring topic.
I'll just cover the interesting stuff, the things that are not done before (or the things that really made a difference)

So the first thing you'll say is:"well, that's an OMW recon, perhaps some dremeling, nothing special stupid FNG!!!"
Yes, and no, the OMW plungertube and trigger are perfect, but I personally don't like the plunger. It doesn't has that great of an seal with the dart, it's heavy and you'll first have to dremel it "open" before you can use it.

So I just took the plastic plunger, since it wouldn't break anyways (not enough stress on the structure).
I did a brass breech modification, that means to me that I put a piece of 2,5 cm brass in the breech (heating it first) and cutting it down to the right shape..

Then I plugged the hole in the breech/plunger. Now you have a problem, cause your seal is so good, it will start sucking the dart in the breech, and than making a vacuum, in worst case it sucks the dart in the plungertube. You don't want that, so me and a friend came up with this idea:
Drill the same hole that hasbro did (diameter 1,5-2 mm), but then on the top of the breech close to the connectionpoint with the boltsled, so the dart won't fly to one side (cause the original hole is on the left side of the breech).

If a dart is loaded, it will cover the hole, so there is nog air leak, but before and after you load it, there will be an "air stream" through the hole, preventing it from vacuumloading! :lol:

Then another new mod for the recon, modifing the dart tooth.
The basic mod is to make the dart tooth thicker, so it will push the dart in further! That's what I did with polyester filling! You can also use epoxy putty.
Shave down as much as you can (don't go to far) and fill it up! Make sure the dart tooth still works without friction..

Here are some more pictures of the whole thing:

And straight! I just love this thing, it's operating fantastic!
