OK before I start this mod I would like to thank Thaygor for the basic ideal. I was thinking of putting internals into the shell but then Thaygor and I actually sat down and he told me how he would do It. After witch I had a strike of inspiration and made the sketches of what it would be like. Well on to the Wright up.
Stuff you will need.
1/2 CPVC
1/2 PVC
Nerf recon.....
bbb plunger tube
1/2 CPVC coupler
Coat hanger of other metal rod
Plexi glass
A dremmel
Finger nail File
Sand paper
Tech target plunger rod (or similar size)
Plunger head parts (2 fender washers, 1 neoprene washer, 2 screws)
Springs
Glue of choice (needs to be strong)
First unscrew the blaster and then look at your internals they should look like this.
The only internals for this blaster that are actually going back in are the muzzle piece and the trigger Modified of curse.
You will also need this piece and the catch. (This will be explained later.)
First of all we will make room for the bbb plunger tube and “cone” piece
You will start with this
Make room for the plunger tube by dremeling away the ridges when you’re done it should look something like this.
Disregard the plunger tube this is the only picture I could find of this.
You will need a good length of CPVC. First to get the plunger head on the CPVC. I cut the head off an old tech target plunger rod put it in the CPVC and then ran a screw threw it and the cpvc then cut off the excess part of the screw then added the plunger head not sure of the actual sizes.
For the catch I took PVC and sanded the inside diameter of it till it slipped tightly over the CPVC and super glued it in place then form the slanted side for the catch to slide over. IMPORTANT: make sure that the slant is on the right side. As you can tell this blaster is going to have a similar priming rod to the longshot.
Apply your springs in this case they are the stock spring and a crossbow spring NOTE: for the crossbow spring to work you need to flex out the last couple coils of the spring so it doesn’t slip through the hole.
On to the catch the trickiest part for this I hot glued the catch on to the plexi glass and the traced around it with a sharpie then took off the catch. After this I roughly cut it out the catch and proceeded to sand it with a dremel till I got just past the edge of the sharpie mark and the catch fit in the shell. Then I drilled a hole kind of low and then slowly made my way up till it primed and fired.
Now set all that aside
Now to work with the plunger tube
Mod the bbb “cone” piece how you like. I dremeled till the coupler could just barley squeeze in to the gap and then glued it in.
Next you need to dremmel till you can fit the catch of the blaster threw this hole smoothly.
Before
After
Next take your muzzle piece and dremmel it till it can fit you coupler and it looks like mine.
One moment more to come Please do not post now.
