Recon Barrel and Reflex IX-1 Integration

I will apologize up ahead for no pictures during the process because my camera at the time did not work, but the final product picture is pretty self explanatory.

All the materials I used are:
1. Hack Saw
2. Epoxy putty (I used the Quick Steel Epoxy Putty)
3. Sand Paper
4. Time and patience

So here's the how to.

1. Cut the Reflex handle just below the trigger.
2. Sand the Reflex bottom where the cut was made for a smooth surface.
3. Take the Reflex and Epoxy it on the bottom (or top) of the Recon Barrel. If you're placing it on the bottom, make sure the end of the handle is just in front of the tactical rail stop nub or else the Reflex plunger tube won't be able to fully come out when placed on a blaster, thus rendering the Reflex useless. If the Reflex is on top of the barrel, placement shouldn't be an issue.



Now, you may think why not make the Reflex detachable? It would be rather hard to make it detachable and still have clearance for the plunger tube. Plus, the Reflex has a tactical rail on it so the original functionality of the barrel is still there, just a blaster is added and the bottom tactical rail is a little lower.
I do consider this a beginner integration as not much is being cut and it is quite simple to do. I would recommend this to any Nerfer who wants to start integration's. I'll probably be making a speed loader for the Reflex and slapping this on my Spectre along wit a string and key ring trigger at the Spectre handle. Would be a good primary for Humans Vs. Zombies.

Very nice work. With a paintjob it could look even better as if it was meant to be there to start with.
As you said this would be an awesome integration for beginners.

I would paint it, but my campus doesn't allow painted blasters. But, when I'm out of college or no longer use that on campus for Humans Vs. Zombies, I will paint it.

nice, pretty good for an inexpensive underbarrel blaster, you should post a pic of the barrel on the spectre

1.would it work if you broke the sight off the bad sight that came with the recon and put that reflex on?
2.would it work if i kept the trigger/handle on and stuck the top underneath the barrel to provide grip and to prime it you pull the reflex forward?

My first post

It would probably work if done correctly, or with the laser light, but mine have been modified so I cannot try it. If you wanted to, you could do that, but here's my issue with doing it that way. For one, you would have to push the Reflex forward in order to prime, so it may be rather difficult. And secondly, you would lose the use of another tactical rail, if you wanted to add a bipod or something to the tactical rail. Personally myself, I may go find a front grip or something to add to this blaster.
