Thanks GC!Well when I got my EaB a few weeks back I loved it. Scope and all. Next I looked at my emergency supplies bucket of pipe and knives to mod on the road and looked at my measly pieces of pipe. I opened her up and saw this.
Except because of my lack of long pipe sections I had to work with a 4.5ish barrel. I took a piece of 3/8 steel with a rough edge and started cutting the orange plastic out of the original barrel with a spring. Once I took out a fair amount of plastic I took my barrel with a few layers of duct tape until it was snug and stuck it in there. I then added the pieces needed to hold the extending barrel in and put them back in so that it would stay in (This Part).
I then added the old spring from the barrel where it was. My EaB's plunger rod is weak just before the old "O-Ring" so I couldn't add springs. I put a small bead of hot glue into the area around the barrel.
After letting it sit overnight I whipped it out the gun and a few darts. I grabbed a thicker one and went out and fired it. Here are results-
Tight Dart (Had to Ramrod)- 52'
Medium Dart (Blew in but it was still hard)- 61'
Loose Dart (Blew Back)- 85', 94' (I think the wind caught it a bit), 89', 81'
And that is with no banding and no long barrel and no extra spring.
