#354089 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by ReThink on 09 June 2016 - 05:15 PM

Sorry in advance for shitty phone camera quality, grainy AF.

 

I present an unnamed firefly mod + paintjob:

 

EDIT: Second Paintjob ever, used Duplicolor vinyl grey and some older acrylic craft paints, finished with rustoleum matte clear coat.

Mods Include:

-Capacitor removal

-Dart holder spacer/padding (modified to fit elite darts, used to only hold old-style suction darts 

-Spring upgrade

-O- Ring seal improval

-Barrel/Turret alignment (mine was mostly fine, I was one of the lucky firefly users who did not experience this to a larger degree)

-Relubrication of rotation mech, trigger, plunger, spring-loaded plunger cap (firefly users will know), and plunger tube

-AR removal

-Paintjob (left orange priming slider, trigger, tip, and switch for legal reasons and for use in HvZ)

-Turret screw replacement(for stronger and longer-lasting turret rotation mech, can take more stress now)

 

It gets superstock elite ranges, which I am insanely proud of for this ancient thing. The firefly is a really good platform to work with, and is really reliable as the firing/rotation mech is amazing. Never jammed. Ever.
