Right now im working out a way to make a frontal cylinder swap for the reload.


I believe CS did something like this. Look, in the modifications directory. I also believe that there was some sort of flaw with the design in the long run, so be careful.


I did see that. I think I have a way to work around it, I'm just figuring out how to do it. I was going to do what he did except keep the post in the front but make some way for it to fold out, replace the cylinder, then lock it back up.

I don't see why you can't have the bar go across the drum on the other side only, but I'm probably missing something. To improve rof, you can cut the first half inch or so off your barrels, it is wider there so you shouldn't lose range and then you will have a ramp/slide for the darts to slide into the barrels. The pin part should hold it all together if you have to get rid of the screws, but you might not even have to. Just a thought.


I used both of the bars to hold the actual grip. if I only used one the grip would be far too weak.

John, actually it cost me nothing, like I said I used all scrap that I found. That's why the vertical bars are so crappy looking. All I had were 90 degree bars so I actually had to flatten them out.

HOTH, it rotates freely, the bars do not impede anything they are bent around the barrel.

Griff_Zombie, I didn't do anything on the inside because I was just testing this part of the mod. When I make the final version I will use other mods to improve the internals. I will definitely do an air seal mod. Right now im working out a way to make a frontal cylinder swap for the reload.

Assuming this doesn't fall to the usual Maverick problems, this could be considered almost a better alternative to the Furyfire.

First of all, a Maverick is usually more available in stores than the Furyfire, and it's also cheaper than tracking one down individually online. Second, if a way to let the barrel out is found, than reloading will be faster than it is on the Furyfire, since the Furyfire's barrel, though nice in larger capacity, is not able to come out of the shell.


Right now, the easiest way I can think of to reload it faster would be to make the front more open. Cut out a bunch of that plastic to expose the two lower barrels and replace the flip-out gray piece with something thinner and stationary since it won't be flipping out anyways.

Be careful with that though, since last year back in noob days I decided the front part of the Maverick sucked ass and I wanted it to look more like the Mustang 6 manufatured by Buzz Bee. In doing so, I completely cut off the front part that connects to the turret, exposing all barrels (I thought this with make it load faster as well), but in the process I ruined it. Absolutely ruined it. The seal was beyond fixable since there was nothing holding the turret, so its weight makes it sag down enough to where there's about a 3/16" gap between the turret and the plunger tube. Hurp Durp.


That is a good point. I was thinkin that i would try to preserve as much of the original Maverick as possible since it's fitted already, just get rid of excess. I'll have to get another and try this out.

Congratulations, you made a furyfire with 4 less shots.


Well having a furyfire wouldn't help me in a Maverick only battle now would it? The point was to improve on the Maverick.
