Strikemaker: Brass Barrel Strikefire

I Haven't finished the paintjob yet, but here it is in its current state. Note that i can oly cock the gun with a screwdriver. Ill come up with a better way to cock it later.





What we have here is a Strikefire with a brass barrel, No slide and no ammo holder

And heres how I did my brass barrel replacement.



Here it is stock, in all its lime green glory.



and without the slide



Bust it open



and find a good place to put the billion screws



so heres the barrel its self, which is found inside the black part. This blaster being a Inverted plunger design, this is the part that dosen't move. I opened this gun up earler and put some tape over the hole in the barrel, but this will become redundant when we move on.



So chop that black part off the orignal barrell and cut your self a fresh 3 inch (7.6 CM) piece of K&S 17/32 stock brass tubing. Which can be found at hobby shops which deal in model airplanes. For you Adelaideians I got mine from Hobby Habbit. (so you know your buying the right diamater, bring a test dart)



Now sand the inside of the black part so the brass tube will fit, then glue the two togehther.



Then cut this front part off the orignal barrel



and glue this onto the front of the new brass barrel. this part is needed so the plunger doesn't drag the brass barrel back with it, and you don't want that



heres the front of the new barrel

Now for my soultion for cocking the plunger.


Start with some K&S 3/32 Brass rod (K&s brass, my solution to anything) and cut around 6 Cm off, but you can do any length you feel depending on the size of your hands. But just make sure you will have enough to fit through the body of the blaster.


Then feed it thorugh the spring that the old slide used to use, and glue it in the middle. I used blu tack becasue I was lazy. then attach the spring and all back to where it used to go.


Then I got these little rubber nubs from a rubber coated metal coat hanger


And stuck them over the ends of the brass rod for some nice safe soft ends. NOTE! use blu tack or a tempoary adhesive or you will never get the two halves of the blaster apart again.


and one more pic for good luck

very nice mod and now i finally know how to do that barrel replacement. btw you really need to always put those rages in.
