My very first mod ever was a Recon and to say the least... I butchered it. So I'm just going to say that if you stretched the spring at all, the catch springs won't cooperate. So I'd say to get a new Recon and probably go watch a few Youtube videos before you start on modding it.
Has anyone else ever had the problem of the recon snapping out of the shell every time you try to screw the the thing together? Cause i'm nervous about trying to mod another one.
