In Topic: Nerf Vortex Praxis Spring relocation

12 September 2011 - 12:15 PM

Good grief the Vigilon has a ton of stuff going on inside... I opened it up to take a look, and decided that I could already fire the thing all the way across my house and wouldn't bother when I tried to pull the armbox off. An offset screwdriver or ratchet might be in order for spring adjustment on that job, just leave the armbox attached.


All you really neet to do any of the mods to these blasters is a philips head screwdriver that can reach the recessed screws. The thing with the Vigilon's armbox is that it just swivels apart once you take out the pin holding the rubber bumper in place, making the whole relocation itself easy.

The hard part is putting the bitch back together.

I've done this with both a Proton and a Vigilon. On the proton, the easiest way to do this is to just take a pair of pliers and pull out the pin the arm pivots on, then do the spring and screw relocation. The Vigilon was pretty similar... aside from the mess of components that are inside the shell due to the internal magazine. The main difference with the Vigilon is that all of the internals all ride on an internal frame. Removing/reattaching the armbox (and then relocating the spring) was extremely time consuming when compared to the Proton. The best advice i could give is to take it slow and remember to document what bits go where so reassembly is a little more smooth.

Using cpvc is a hell of a lot easier then dremeling and soldering brass. But thats just my 2 cents.



Soldering brass isn't too difficult. Hell, you should be able to pull it off with a propane torch (if you're willing to wait about one hundred million years for the damn brass to heat properly).

One suggestion for soldering brass, though: sand the areas you want to apply solder to, then only apply solder to one of the surfaces you want to join. It'll make the joint look a lot better and you'll get the same effect with fewer materials.
