    My Nitefinder - 'November Rain' Imgp0411

    Meet November Rain. My newly modded and painted 3rd-Gen Nightfinder. My new sidearm.
    The name comes from when I was painting this beast, the song came on the radio and it just fitted (I don't know why)

    Mods Completed:

    - Complete AR Removal
    - 20mm PVC Coupler (can fit 10mm, 13mm and 15mm darts)
    - C-836 Spring Replacement (cut off 2 + 1/2 rings)
    - Double Trigger Springs
    - Double Catch Springs
    - Added Second O-Ring
    - Slight Minimzation
    - Re-Lubricated
    - CPVC Ammo Holders
    - Hand Painted (Colours: Charcoal, Brunswick Green, Mixed Of Chrome and Charcoal)
    - Custom Symbol

    My Nitefinder - 'November Rain' Imgp0412

    This is possibly the most modded NF in Australia. If you can top this, I'd love to see it.
    Video with more pics coming soon...

    Took about 20 mins to mod and 36 hours to paint (dry times)
    I'd say about $20 to make.

    It shoots so well. 90ft

    How come it takes 36 hours to paint. I paint mine with 2 coats of main colour and 1 coat of every other and then a clear acrylic coat and it only takes aroung 4?

    Just double catch springs which is reenforcing. More catch springs = stronger main spring.

    You also have to reenforce the plunger head by replacing the screw with a longer one and having a nut on the other side. Otherwise you can't have spronger spring in your nightfinder. Search NerfHaven on how to reenforce it.

    you see! 90 feet that's what i'm talking about ... that's awesome! I don't know why the Nightfinder gets such a bad wrap, do people realize that according to the official Nerf website the Nightfinder has the same range as the Longshot??? Freekin sweet job dude!!!

    I've got a question. Is it normal for a nite finder without air restrictors to mak a large BANG from the spring?
    If so, will it break sooner than a stock one?

    All guns make that noise after Air Restirictors have been removed. This may shorten the life of your gun but nothing has been proved so far. Also why is your location "if i tell you ill have to kill you"?
