Thanks for the comments.
@Kid Flash- Usually, I have the original ammo holder clipped in. I like having the five extra darts close at hand.
It looks considerably neater, but the gun wouldn't stand up with it.

Wrap the front of the pen in e-tape until the turret fits snugly.
Sand down the bottom of the piece of CPVC so that the turret axis is not impeded.
Replace the barrels on your 2k turret.
I used the front of the pen and an old BuzzBee dart in the center of the turret to keep the barrels evenly spaced.
Use large amounts of hot glue to join the turret, the pen and the CPVC stub. If you want the turret to be easily removable, don’t get any glue on the coupler.
The turret is easy to remove, but sturdy. I still suggest opening the case if you desire to change from turret to single barrel.
Place all the internals back into the shell. I did not take a picture, but I surrounded the turret axis and air output with FBR for added stability.
Close the gun back up.
I found it helpful to tape some thin plate Styrofoam to the back of the turret, because mine was tending to shoot left.
You’re done!
I really like the versatility of this gun. The turret doesn’t decrease ranges badly. The added ROF is excellent for the circumstances I use this gun for. Around here, we use stock taggers because we don’t play in a huge area, and most shots are taken at around 40’ or so. This gun hits high 50’s singled and low 50’s turreted (with stock taggers and the pictured bungees), so that's perfect. I will test with stefans soon.
I know that people will question my use of hot glue for the turret structure, but I find that the plasticity of it allows the assembly to bend slightly without breaking, so I don't plan to change it. When it eventually breaks, I'll replace it with Plumber's Goop and epoxy putty, but until then, I like it as-is.
