Aluminium nerf parts

Could you add me to that list of LS boltsleds?

added

I now have 2 new springs
1. LongShot spring 5x stock
2. Recon spring 3x stock

I don't have an aluminium LS sled so I havnt tried that but it fits in plunger tube nicely

I have tested the recon spring
Using crappy old darts if any fire straight, I can go through the doors and hit the wall 45feet away

Do you have any Recon Plunger Tubes(plastic), If so please put me down for 1.
Thanks

If I ordered a raider plunger tube (Plastic) and recon spring, what would be the ETA at the moment?

raider and deploy plungers, they should be ready by march 12, before my week long holiday

As for the longshot bolt sleds I have submitted my drawings and am awaiting samples

I'm still waiting for my springs and longshot sleds to be made

I have completed the longstrike plunger and am almost finished with the deploy plunger
Next will be a raider then an alpha strike plunger as soon as I get my hands on one

Hey chris what are the chances of your being able to make a longshot backplate like the one black tactical makes? This

I have the BT one but it is 5mm thick, I need something thinner (closer to 2mm) as the BT one is just too much for the springs to handle.

I make the plunger backplates
They are similar size to the stock ones
I dont understand why you want a thinner one

Because as I said, the BT ones are 5mm thick which causes the springs to compress too much. This causes too much tension for the catch (even though it is alu and double springed) so I can't prime the gun.

It can be done
I'm not sure taking off a few mm is going to make much of a difference
Is the plunger part that catches damaged or worn at all?

Before you go get another backplate, you could try to file and sand a chamfered edge into the BT trigger catch. It's one of the troubleshoots another member on this forum did and now the BT parts work perfectly.

Using chris's catch which is double springed. Quite simply the gun works with the stock backplate but not the BT one. The BT one works in other guns. Its just the power of the springs that is getting insane at that compression level (BT V2 and a longshot blue spring).

You could cut half a coil off the springs, that would probably do the same thing.

Odd, all the parts should work with each other???

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to confirm if you have/can do the Longshot trigger catch in the durable plastic to go with the alu boltsled? and if you have any plunger caps for the Longshot available (the one with that screws on to the end of the plunger).

I can make a longshot trigger in plastic but itll cost the same
Which end, The plunger tube with the 2 screws or the other end with the screw through the center and with the o-ring?

Sorry maybe I'm confusing something. (al)Boltsled + (pl)Trigger catch = (al)Boltsled + (al)Trigger catch?

Just trying to understand what you mean by "itll cost the same"

Its the end with the 2 screws - made in durable plastic.

The one with the two screws is called the rear plunger plate.

I believe that this is what you broke and are looking for.

Thats the one
I've ordered a metal one but might order a second plastic one just in case (undecided)

Plastic or aluminium small parts will cost the same to purchase in plastic as they do in aluminium. The parts are so small I dont gain much time which is offset by the cost of the plastic which is more then the aluminium.
On the larger objects, plunger, sled, they are larger and I save a alot of time when using plastic

I have a quick question about your springs, Chris. What are the loads on them? Double and 5x the stock spring is all well and good, but I'd like to know the load in terms of kilograms. Thanks

Recon about 7.5Kg
Longshot about 13Kg

Hows the production going?

Just got back from holidays
Production is slow, still waiting for longshot parts

I'd really appreciate it if I got the sled before the 10th april Nerf War..

So would I
I'll find out tomorrow what they are up to

Will they even be here by the end of this month?

They had better be, their is about 10 or so people waiting for them

Anytime next week for my barrel spacers is cool. Take your time in dealing with people's Longshot parts before me.

I also have Tetra Strike spacers ready to send in the next e-mail I send you.

Thanks.

5 parts is only $25 you can order them now

I've just sent you the money via Bank Transfer (you'll get in instantly given we're both with the same bank).

What I don't understand is why I was quoted only $25 during the checkout phase as opposed to your $30 that you tried to get me through e-mail. I've sent $25 as a result.

Hey Chris,

Havent got the total price from you yet from the PM on the 21st of march.

Update please?

Cheers

I changed the price, low quantities include shipping e.g $10, $5part + $5shipping, higher quantities have free shipping 5 x 45, hence only $25

I'v sent another msg
Be aware I dont have any sleds at the moment and can only make other parts in my spare time after they have been ordered
