Find contentI've designed a completely Stainless Steel Longshot Boltsled. Tomorrow afternoon I will be having the first prototypes cut out at my machine shop. It will be made of 12&14 gauge 316 Stainless Steel and welded together. I will be producing them all myself. Test samples will be ready to go out as soon as next week.

I've been a member of the modding community for a couple months, mostly as a lurker. I have focused most of my efforts towards the Longshot, and have accumulated 7 Longshots over a couple months. I really feel like it has the most potential of all blaster released to date. As such I, like a lot of you have heavily modified a couple of mine. Brass breeches and reinforcements, Paint jobs and upgrades.
On my modding adventure I found the stock boltsled was just not cutting it. So I threw one together out of some scrap stainless we had laying around. Its indestructible (under 2000 degrees lol).Its been working like a charm since the day I brought it home.
Since then I have redesigned it in AutoCad to exactly mirror the stock sled. It incorporates all the locks and requires no modification to the blaster (other that a big badass spring to justify having it lol). I got the drawings over to my machine shop yesterday and they will be cutting them out tomorrow when I get there. I'm gonna try to document the development as much as possible.
I created the company: Remedy Metal to handle the products. It is my intent to produce an array of Nerf parts. Most will be focused on the Longshot.

By Friday I should have the very first prototype complete. I'll get pics up asap!
Thanks for your time Nerfers
