Out of all of my previous iterations, this one seems the best. I'm still selling these, but its doubtful that anyone will buy one. Mcmaster part #'s will be added later

Materials Needed:
1x NF
1x 1- 3/16ths OD rubber/neoprene washer (I got mine at ACE)
1x mcmaster K26 spring
2x 1 inch OD steel washers
1x a medium sized screw (I don't really know I just happen to have tons of these screws)
1 foot piece of 3/8th square nylon bar (I got mine from mcmaster)
ACE #2 spring
Dremel
drill
file
A bolt and two nylon spacers
13" of 1 inch thinwall PVC


Here are the stock NFs, I'm doing this to all of them, but you only need one.

Unscrew the battery cap then unscrew the gun.

toss the plunger tube (its solvent welded) but keep the plunger rod (you only need the catch)

You want to cut the NF shell so you keep the spring rest and dont go into the trigger area

Take the Nylon bar and measure 4.5 inches down from one end make a mark. then dremel out a catch.

Now drill a hole in the end of the Nylon bar from where the catch is, I chose a 1/8th" bit and went down 1/2"
time for a washer sammich! layout your washers like so.

now screw them onto the rod

slide a spring on followed by the NF catch

cut down a ACE #2 spring to the length of the stock catch spring but don't close it up. I chose to drill a hole through the other end of the rod and put in a bolt and 2 nylon spacers to create a handle.
Now glue with goop or epoxy the PVC to one side of the shell and let it cure for 24 hours, and then pop in a 1/2 pvc bushing.

now you can put the internals in and call it good


Ranges: Ridiculous, easily clears 100ft

notes: theres some kick from the K26 spring...

That may not have been clear, sorry. its a 1 and 3/16ths INCH (one and 3/16ths of a inch) rubber/Neoprene washer.

I really should try this, especially since I have a NF with a fusked up plunger tube. It's fugly simplicity has it's own appeal too.
Is it hard to prime with the little finger nubs resting all the way up against the shell?

The nubs extend over the shell, so I can pull with that and then slide them forward in a fluid motion, its not too hard to cock back. +bow springs are not any harder to pull back then two handyman springs (in my opinion).

This is almost like a cheapo +bow, but with the NF trigger assembly. Interesting.

Its cheaper then a +bow, more comfy (except it has no stock) but preforms about the same as my old +bow did

Yeah, that was just a misunderstanding on my part. I didn't read it very closely, and thought it said " One 3/16ths inch washer".

I wonder if you could make a stock out of wood or a +bow style stock because I really hate guns without stocks but still a NF that clears 100 feet is still awesome mine will only hit like 30. Does your gun use Mega darts?
Also would it be a good idea to pad the plunger head so it doesn't explode your plunger tube.

Ok, you can hold your gun sideways like that, it'll look all cool and gangster, but the rscb wont load. then we will laugh at you, after that we will shoot you.

I can use stock darts, but I prefer stefans.
