Ok so, Im looking to make a barrel extension for the longshot to replace the shitty looking nerf one,
Also I cut that one up, took out the AR's and stuff and its not an all bad last resort weapon

Ok so the objective is to make this:




I liked the ideas in the silencer directions:

But it does not include the stock extension ring , like Captian Slug does in the pictures of his shotgun mod:
(middle of the writeup)
http://nerfhaven.com...?showtopic=7336
Using this ring will allow me to remove this at any time, which has innumerable benefits
So here are the elements:




I have 2 major questions for everyone:

Should I do on the inner part of the barrel to scale the size down
What goes in this grey area?:



The other question being what is the best way to connect the stock extension ring to the entire assembly.





Ideas Ive had for both of these, are for the inner part, continually descending pieces of PVC at the front and the back of the assembly to keep it light so it would look like this:


What are you thoughts on this solution?


For the ring my idea was to use a larger piece of PVC over the 1.5inch piece and over the orange ring to add strength with glue all around that
I dont like that solution it means buying more PVC that I will only use a small part of, and it also changed my ascetic


I understand many people might suggest not using the stock barrel, changing this to brass, and swapping out the internal barrel for brass or CPVC but for me this is just an ascetic mod. I'm very new to modding NERF so I dont want to do that many large internal changes. I plan to remove the AR's and add a NF spring later. But myself with only $15 in my pocket and a big war event a month away I don't want to destroy my gun.(haveing been recently fired I also am unemployed at the point)

I hope that this can be used as a springboard for other barrel extension mods, maybe one with brass or with CPVC something better then what comes with the nerf. The idea of a detachable barrel appeals to me, just not the one that comes with the gun.

Hello All, Just got my approval to post something I've actually been anticipating for a while, as Ive been wanting to interact with this community instead of just watch from the outside.

First some formalities, most of you wont care but I'm very proud of some of this
Here is my load out:


Simple stuff
Maverick is modded, AR's removed barrels dremeled out
That was the first mod I ever did, it took 6 tries to get it back together right, the white stuff is epoxy, after about 2 months of use the slider bar broke and I replaced it with some steel, works better then ever but sadly I cant disassemble it anymore, so no more mods, maybe on the next one
The little thing is the front end of the longshot, my most recent mod and one that im very proud of. AR's removed, O-ring added to the plunger and it gets about 30' maybe more if I get some stefans
Longshot has only cosmetic mods, wood blocks in the stock to keep it sturdy and bi-pod removed, I plan on adding a brass barrel and using the extended barrel (about 6" of it) to make it look nice and just a little extended out the front.

I only recently got into nerf, and im a Highschool, my mother is firmly anti-gun, it took me 17 years to convince her to let me get a TOY
But At this point most of my friends arent nerf players, im a classic "Geek" with geek friends so I knew if I made it easy I could get everyone into nerf.

I decided to host a large war for about 30 friends
I read the rules that are posted on the stickies and I love the concept and it seems to make play fair
I would like to hear some peoples experiences with their local events
I was planning on holding mine at a small park in the area, this park has a building, burnt down and rebuilt because of historical significance:


We scoped it out today, great place, cut grass, on top of a hill, nice grounds, nearby parking and an awesome pusedo-urban setting with 2 floors


But almost nobody has guns out of these 30 invites, so I wonder NerfHaven thinks of chargeing everyone a flat $12 entrance fee to the event we would buy everyone mavericks in a large lot and use the other $4 for extra ammo (2 100 dart boxes) and park rental
I pitched it as $10 to everyone and they were all very excited I doubt that another 2 would be a deal breaker

Im really hopeing I can host a good event I even designed a logo for this in-case we establish kind of a club.



So for some TL;DR questions
What do you think of a day at the park nerf war, free if you bring your own gun, pay $12 and get a Maverick and access to extra ammo when you lose it
What are some game types you love to do with friends?

Mod question:
Ive read a bunch of tutorials but what size brass tube should I buy to replace the barrel in a longshot lots of people have different ideas.

major edit:

I was also planning to add the Nightfinder spring to the Longshot for improved range/power I think i read this in a tutorial has anyone done this?

another edit, I might just take these to the mod section eventually but does anyone know of a site that sells cheaper in bulk, or perhaps after a threshold cuts the shipping
