DTG Hyperfire mod

Ok so I got this guy for $17 on Fishpond a few days ago and it arrived today.

I played around with it for a bit. It was pretty good, averaging 35ft.

I wanted a bit more so after some Overhaulin' I was able to get up to 60ft.

Here we go.





Here are the body screws, they're all the same.





Those two go in the slide.



Here is an internal view.



The catch mech close up.



Here's a close up on the turret area.



See those five screw in the pentagon shape?
Undo those to get access to the AR's



Here they are.
You know what to do next...



Chop 'em off!





Make sure to line up the posts when you re-assemble it.

Here comes the tricky part, you need to increase the slot by 1/2". Do this to both sides.





Now there is a ridge there that you need to shave down (1/2"), it might be a bit hard to see.



Now cut a new slot in the plunger rod once again by 1/2".
Use the picture for reference.

Reinforcement

Now add a nail and glue in in place, repeat on both sides.



Putty it!
Once dry sand it down nice an smooth.

After

Put it all back together and your all done.

I'll add some Petg barrels soon, hopefully I can get 70ft with an added spring.

Hope you like it

Nicely done there dude.

I've been thinking of doing the extended draw on mine, but have just been too slack.

Although I might give it a go on the weekend seeing I have just come back from bunnings with some fresh supply of epoxy putty and the like.

Gooni.

Very nice writeup. This actually makes me want to get one! Mind you, my Furyfires are coming soon. Keep up the good work!

Wow I think I'll try this.

Nice job.

Are those ARs glued on the turret? Or do they just pop off like the Maverick and have those springs underneath them?

I don't know if they have the spring (as I got mine already modded) but the AR posts are not glued on as far as I know , unless they have changed from the old red/blue hyperfires.

Gooni.

I have one of those and they pop right out like maverick ARs. note you can put a Full c836 spring in that thing.

Orly, and plunger rod re-enforcing needed ? I've been thinking what spring to put into mine, and have a few C-836 springs doing nothing around here.

I don't think so. My C-836 was too fat and got stuck when compressed.

The turret is identical to that of a maverick but the ranges are much better.
