Behold... The Cyclops. Enjoy

At first glance, you may think that it is a regular night finder... But when we take a closer look, you begin to realize that it is so much more than that. My goal for this project was to successfully put an at3k into a NF shell, while still maintaining as much of the NF looks and feel as possible, because hey, who doesnt love holding a NF? I believe that I have succeeded. *evil laugh*



For this writeup, I am assuming that you know how to remove the tank from an AT3k.










After that, you simply put the gun back together and run the tubing from the pump.

And that’s pretty much all that needs to be explained.

Here's some more pictures.










*RANGES*
With 3 pumps I get around 100’ with ¼” fishing weight steffans and a 6” barrel. (those are incredibly good ranges for a NF)
With the same barrel, I can easily reach 90' with 2 pumps. (these ranges may seem impossible, but just remember how far a singled at3k can shoot)

*TO DO* (new pictures will be added as I complete these)
1. Create a better trigger mechanism - completed
2. Re-enforce the plunger rod - completed
3. Paint job! - more pics of that up soon

I would be willing to do a more full and detailed write up upon request.

Wish me luck in the mod contest!

I just finished this one last night. It has yet to be painted, so those pics will be up within the week. Tell me what you think!

Features:
- Minimized
- Detachable/ Interchangeable stocks
- Breech loading mechanism
- Attached Dual-Action bicycle pump
- Totally air-tight, no air leaks what so ever
- Pump feeds directly into the air-tank

Specs:
This gun can shoot up to 200' flat with 8 pumps and a tagger dart
It has a good feel and is very accurate due to its long barrel and stable stock

First, let's take a look at the internals.


Here it is the gun with no attachments...


...and with just the shoulder stock.


Here is another version of the shoulder stock.


This image demonstrates the breech system.


This is the back of the gun.


Here's a few pictures of the gun all put together.



Questions? Comments? Suggestions?... Chuck Norris Jokes?

P.S. I greatly apologize if this has been posted already. I searched the threads and everything but I did not find anything related to this.

I was fooling around with my new recon and tried putting tagger darts into the clip and then firring them. It works!

I don't know if this is normal or if it is just something creepy about my gun but it is gana save me allot of money on darts.

Today I bought a brand new night finder and began thinking of mods to do to it. I decided on building a bigger plunger tube out of PVC. I thought of using 3/4" PVC because it was comparable in size with the stock plunger tube. Because I don't even know were to begin on making my own plunger mechanism I plan on extending the length of the stock one and using the stock plunger head. The only problem is that the plunger head just barely doesn't fit into the PVC. What I need help on is a way to expand the inside diameter of the PVC evenly so that the plunger can move through snuggly.

Any input would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

This is my first ever Write up, so bear with me.

[/u]Tools needed[u]
1-bbb
2-some tape(electric, duct, hockey, thees will al work)
3-9"' 1/2" pvc
4-1' 9/16" brass tube
5-screw driver(phillips head)
6-a ruber band
Here it is. The Big Bad Bow.


Well, first off open up the gun. Then take out the air restrictors shown below.


Put a layer of tape around the stock barrel as shown. This is optional, but will help with barrel stability.


Now put the stock barrel back into the gun.


You are done with the inside so screw it all together.

Then take out youre 1' length of brass.


Then take out a 1" portion of the rubber band. Tape it on to one end of the brass as shown (the end of the gun that will go inside the stock barrel). This will keep the darts from falling into the plunger chamber.


Wrap youre tape around the brass as shown. Just one or two layers, enough to fit in the stock barrel.


Slide the brass 3" into the stock barrel. It should be a snug fit.


Next you want to get out your 9" length of pvc.


Now slide the pvc over the brass and have it touching the stock barrel.


Tape the pvc to the stock barrel.

Congrats! You are finaly done.

Here are the ranges:
1-66' 7"
2-68' 3"
3-72' 7"
4-73' 7"
5-98' 1"

I don't know why the last one went so far, the wind probably carried it.

If you have any questions I will try my best to answer them.

P.S. Please don't nag about how stupid I am, but if you have any constructive criticism thats fine.
