How to get stefans to work in stock guns- without mods in the gun

This mod lets you use stefans in stock guns. You should really mod the guns. Anyway i figured this out after getting extremely pissed off at my darts just falling out of my LS barrel. ( haven't take the peg out yet). if you screw up your stefans it isn't my fault, if you want to know how to make stefans you should just google it or look around. This is also my first mod write up.

Materials:
Stefans
Screwdriver
Lighter
Pain resistance (not pictured)




Method

1.To start with heat up your screw driver tip by holding over the lighter flame., and you'll need pain tolerance if you hold the lighter on, cos it'll heat up. heat for 30+ seconds


2. poke the back end of your stefan an sort of drill down? push hard? untill you hit the hot glue/weight part you'll get it if you actually do this mod.


3. And thats pretty much it.



Be careful in this mod, you could burn your self. My ls is semi modded? it has a NF spring, plugged that little hole on the black part of tube under the jam door (can't remember the name of the part, it's attached to the bolt sled). rangers are epic, i dont have a tape measure so its guess work

Streamlines:
flat (shoulder height): at double stock range- 65ft?
angled, 45 degrees: double, + 1 quarter of stock
Stefans:
Flat: stock
angled: dont know
so its guess work but its pretty far though.. has potential.. LS FTW


Have a nice day!

Yes it was good. You stuck to the point and provided something that people commonly ask about.

I'm quite interested but where do you buy foam backer rod from? I use blue foam but I want to take a stab at the FBR stuff. It's just so if I have dart hire I can accomodate you silly White / Black / Grey FBR users :P.

bunnings sells 10mm and 13mm and 15mm, or go to foam rubber industries (f.r.i), clark rubber and theres a couple independint stores names foam and rubber.

Bunnings does not sell 13mm foam. I got mine from Home.

I'm pretty sure they do. I think it's jsut because your bunnings doesn't sell it. My mitre 10 doesnt' sell FBR but melbourne does.

Got yours from "Home Depot"? I dunno. Where that is.

Home Timber and Hardware. The proper Hardware store.

Oh, I heard no Bunnings sold it but whatever.

I'll have to check it out... do you knwo what brand they are? Going to do some research on it.

I can mod lighters so then it dosent hurt to have it on and easy Ignition

Lighters are only good for lighting my blowtorch, which will heat steel up far faster than a lighter.

D:
Just use your parent's stove.
(Unless your Servulus)

Well thats a given, i own my own stove!

Did i mention i have a Bunsen burner as well, just another way to heat up steel and other things.

GGRRR
A soldering iron would work too.
Servulus i'm guessing you have one of those but you dont have to say it ok?!

That word(s) make me laugh (don't ask, it just does).

back on topic, nice write up. I may do it but does anyone know a good way of removing the peg without taking off the center bar so the darts don't go too far back.

would i be able to get that kind of foam from Clark rubber?

ok fellas stop asking me about the foam! i bought the stefans, but blakefield said that he got it from clark rubber

video related, its clark rubber

so (newbie question) to allow stock guns to run stefans and mod the gun, is the only thing I have to do is break the stick/air restrictor?

pretty much yeah. But if you want to use stefans in a clip there is a mod that mods the clip so stefans don't jam its on nerfhaven somwhere. Or do my mod

alright since i'm scared i'll get banned for posting a newbie question thread , I need to ask another question trying to continue the idea of running stefans to work in stock guns and stock clips.

Whats so special about the size characteristics of a stefan? Can you make a DIY dart which is the same size as a normal dart so you can run normal darts and stefans simultaneously? (say in the same clip)

Checkout my blue foam threads, best material for making darts, same as stock dart material except more dense.

how dence is your blue foam denser then buzzbee darts?

I'm assuming you're refering to this thread - http://www.oznerf.com/homemades-f2/dart-creation-complete-guide-t872.htm

It's a very good guide. I'm just wondering what is the relevance to the actual size of stefans - why aren't they standard dart size, but smaller? Is it just for a performance gain, or is it actually detrimental to have them at full size?

EDIT- maybe i've seen a wrong stefan and it was hacked to be short and stubby.. however everyone seems to have it.
