Ok. This is my second writeup on Nerfhaven. My first was the oh so popular Nerf M4 Recon. I got my hands on a Deploy and did some basic mods to it. I will mention now that I broke the light at some point so that is no longer functioning.

MATERIALS

1/2 drill bit or whatever works
Philips head screwdriver
Jar/cup-for collecting screws and such-not necessary
Drill/Dremel
Paint (if you feel like it)

Here's a few shots of the Deploy before we begin.





Alright. Leave the Deploy undeployed to start. Go for the hidden screws in the stock first.



Then deploy the blaster and unscrew everything else except for the trigger handle and the area that holds the clip.



Now you can unscrew this part.



Here's the internals with the light removed and the deployment spring removed.



The plungertube is a pain in the ass to remove so I'll give a detailed walkthrough of the process.

First unhook the tube from the dart tooth.



Then pull the black part that is normally attached to the pump grip out.



You will need to torque your wrist while pulling it because it tends to get stuck on this corner.



Your plunger tube should look like this:



Now drill/dremel the ARs out of the plungertube. It should look nice and clean like so:





Then give it a paintjob. This is entirely up to you. You probably will have to sacrifice deployability for a paintjob. After modding, it becomes harder to deploy. Paint only makes it worse. Mine doesn't have full deployability anymore. But, after a few tries the paint might wear off and it should be able to deploy again.

Putting the thing back together is also a pain in the ass. First screw the clip area back together. Then get it as close to the body of the gun as you can and slip the constant force spring over the hitch with a small screwdriver. Like a really small screwdriver.



Reverse the process of removing the plungertube to get it back in. Here's the internals before closing it back up.



Getting the deployment spring back in is also sorta hard. To do it, just put it in, let it slip over the bottom half of the tube, put on the top half of the gun, and then use a screwdriver or some stick-like object to pull the spring back a bit so it slips over the top half of the tube. Here's a shitty picture of it.



See next post for rest. (Damn image limit)

Last week I noticed the amazing resemblance between the Recon and the M4. Also, I was tired of having a broken LS front gun lying around. I decided to mod it and post a writeup.

Materials

Nerf Recon CS-6 (All parts)
Front attachment of the Nerf Longshot CS-6
1 tube of Liquid Nails
3/4" ID regular PVC
Nerf Recon flip-up sight
1 can of black Krylon Camouflage Ultra Flat paint
Screwdriver
Ozark Trail Backpacking Strap (found in the camping isle of Walmart)
1" Forsner Bit
Drill or Dremel
Electrical Tape
1/2" PVC end cap


Step 1. Take apart and disassemble the Recon. Take all the parts out and unscrew the cocking mechanism.


Step 2. Take out the bolt and boltsled. Remove the AR with a drill.





Step 3. Tape the little hole on bolt with electrical tape.



Step 4. Stretch the stock spring.



Step 5. Glue the PVC end cap onto the cocking mechanism.



Step 6 (optional). Drill out the center of the flip-up sight with the 1" Forsner bit or dremel.



Step 7. Here you can do 1 or both of these things.
You can either do step 6 and then glue a 6" piece of 3/4" PVC to the inside of the sight making a foregrip
or
Ignore step 6 and glue a flashlight to the body of the sight and make a removable flashlight.



Step 8. Dismantle front attachment of the Recon and remove the tube on the inside. Then glue the tube from the LS front attachment in place of the other tube.



Step 9. Glue the flip-up thing on the front attachment of the Recon to the up-right position.



Step 10. Remove the middle section of the Recon stock.



Step 11. Paint all of the outside parts (shell, foregrip, barrel attachment, stock, clips, trigger, cocking mechanism, clip releases.)







Step 12. Reassemble the inner workings of the gun and screw everything back together.

Step 13 (optional) Tie the backpacking strap to the barrel and the back of the stock.

There you have it. Your own M4A1 look-alike. See the resemblance?

Hi everyone. This is my first post but I'm trying to do something big with it. Over the weekend I realized that the recon looks oddly like an M4. After modifying the barrel attachment I was frightened by the resemblance. So far I have taken the air restrictors out and plugged up the hole in the bolt. I'm currently waiting to get some more ultra-flat black paint for the gun and I've been thinking about attaching an M4/M16 carry handle to the rail on main gun. I also created two other modded longshots (one looks quite like a Steyr AUG). Sorry about the lack of pictures I will get some ASAP. If anyone has any ideas please post.
