FAQ: Foam Gun Spring / Oring / Etc

[Zinv]

Sorry but the aluminum plunger will not work in the deploy.

[Grey]

with the stampede out now, any plans on stampede springs and o-rings?
i found that the plunger is smaller than the longshot's and most current springs offered are just too big in diameter.
managed to fit the mav's spring in tho, but its kinda short to reach the full length.

thnx

btw side-tracking, u guys should try using the longshot v1 springs for all reverse plunger types. it gives it an extra umph!
tested on my longstrike and recon

Hello, I've replaced the stock spring of my recon with the spring I purchased from BT. My gun is unable to hold it's cocking position and it just slams back. I've tried trimming the spring a little as mentioned and it's still not working. Any suggestions? Would be a shame if my $13 just went to waste ):

Try adding a pen spring to your catch.

[nixihz]

Just tried that but it's not working out either :/ Any more ideas?

Yup. my friend faced the same problem with his long shot. All u need to do is to find another spring. I got lots of springs so after trying out different ones, i managed to solve the problem. Maybe u should find a stronger/longer spring

[nixihz]

Perhaps I misunderstood the bit about the catch. Where exactly am I meant attach the pen spring to? Thanks so much for the help by the way!

When you cock the recon must cock very fast.
I have modded quite afew all faced the same problem.
Cock it fast enough it will stay....

[nixihz]

Actually I've tried cocking it fast as mentioned earlier, it stays for about 2 seconds and then slams back into place :/

I'm sorry TGOW,my bad.


The catch should be the one circle in the picture.
You should see a spring on it,add one to it by coiling the two springs together,or just replace it.
Hope you know what I'm talking.

I see,thanks.

o.O

[nixihz]

I've tried replacing the catch spring with a few others and tried coiling a couple of them together, but it just doesn't seem to be staying in the cocking position.

There you go! Not exactly showing what my problem is, I'm not exactly sure how to take a picture of my gun not being able to hold it's cocking position.

[Toys_god_of_War]

OK.

Zinv, the resident Nerf guy will look @ this. And then conclude.

[nixihz]

Alright, looking forward to it. Thanks!

[Espada]

Hmm.. maybe u can try to thicken the catch by adding cardboard or with layers of masking tape
