    60 feet flat tek-4. Empty Right, tek-4 overhaul.

    Righto everyone,

    Here's a Tek-4, minus turret and priming handle. With a coupler, sorry I wanted to see if it worked first before I tried writing it up.

    Any of you who have ever opened one of these up will have noticed that the plunger travel is only a fraction of the actual plunger tube length. I noticed this also, and set about rectifying the situation.

    Internals shot.

    To achieve the longer plunger travel, I simply cut the dead area of the plunger, (the white part near the plunger head in the next pic) loosened the glue, and re-glued it with a longer plunger rod.

    The handle no longer retracts into the shell when it is primed, and it makes an almighty bang when fired, but with a 1/2" id stainless steel barrel it hits hard.

    Let me know what you think, or if any clarification is required.

    what are you talking about? i saw the gun and thought "well that looks good i want to buy one. maybe i should ask the guy were he bought his so i can buy one!" im sorry but it was just common sense for me to ask the question. maybe i should pm him in the future. I don't know.

    Very nice mod and write up is it your primary now??

    Also I think that stealth shot raised a good question I too would like to know where to buy one of these.

    Now thats a new one. I didn't know a singled tec 4 had enough potential in it. Though I still would recommend a Nitefinder over a tec 4. but if you got one, or wanna be unique this gun can deliver.

    I used to see tec 4's for sale at K'mart and at Sam's wharehouse.

    Toys R Us sell them in twin packs, I want to rip apart a tek-6 and see if it has the same plunger, and can be improved as much as this.

    Does anyone have a spare NF plunger tube handy?

    I would love to know the swept volume of the plunger.

    Volume of a cylinder = ( 3.14159 x ( dxd ) x h ) / 4

    where d is the internal diameter of the plunger tube, and h is the swept length of the plunger tube.
