I just recently built something similar to this. My Nightfinder broke after a failed mod, so I took the plunger tube (I think it's called, just that orange tube with the spring in it) from the Nightfinder with the full plunger assembly, and sawed off everything other than the handle past the front of the huge circle with the Nerf logo on it. The plunger assembly goes into it, and there is a small rectangle there, just glue the plunger tube to the end of the Nightfinder, pull the cocking mechanism, it should lock, then press that button. Watch your fingers, I learned that the hard way. I can fit 3-4 darts in, but it doesn't go as far as 2 darts.

Make an "ible for this launcher please! I've been looking for an underbarrel launcher "ible".

look up Meanbean's Nerf grenade launcher and make one. To put onto the barrel, you should get some PVC pipe and cut it to just the right size, then, take that scope you get with the recon, and take out the innards. You should get the rail piece. Hot glue the PVC pipe to that.

Actually I'm thinking about making a GL for my + bow using Titan internals.

Modding my LS? I still have it. What would you like to know?

Ar removal, AR15 spring addition, fixed stock (half way) and paint.
Also I tried to Internally silence it. drilled holes in the barrel and surrounded with cotton.

mag+site

Nov 14, 2009. 11:04 AMmaxxxem (author) says:

The mag is just two LS magazines e-taped.
That holo site is a LS scope clip that hooks onto the rail, a small Bike tire pair kit box and a cut piece of a dental floss container. Dosen't realy function.
Acitualy Reciently I have painted blue tiger stripes on the LS

glue between clips and clip clip
....

Jul 22, 2010. 3:34 AMV1nz0rd says:

pretty sure you should just duct tape the clips together.

Aug 18, 2010. 9:13 PMaseaheru says:

makes sence, but take falls apart and plastic cement holds together

Sep 15, 2010. 1:22 AMV1nz0rd says:

maybe, but even if it does, you can just re- tape tape it. I keep a spare roll of duct tape in my bag for emergencies.

Sep 21, 2010. 4:51 PMaseaheru says:

ok, i can see that

Sep 15, 2009. 8:55 AMaseaheru says:

EVERY THING! fore my #1 ...??????

Sep 16, 2009. 8:44 AMnashua25 says:

this is really good, i'm suprized that people have'nt thought of this before.

Aug 26, 2009. 7:02 PMmeanbean says:

5 to 10 feet? really, you could throw those balls farther than that. Get it to at least 20 feet using spring mods, and a new o ring, then cram like 5 in there. now THAt would work.

Aug 24, 2009. 9:46 PM1129ag says:

how did you make that

Aug 20, 2009. 8:11 AMColonel88 says:

ehh it doesn't look like it has "mad" range, consider modding a Atom blaster into it instead of a nitefinder since atom is MEANT for shooting those little balls

Aug 21, 2009. 7:57 AMmaxxxem (author) says:

yea

Aug 9, 2009. 11:02 AMbeastie21 says:

Looks aren't all. And judging from the 1(one) picture you most generously gave us, I don't see much point in making it. If you can get an astounding 5-10 feet out of it, just go take a nickel and by yourself a Reactor. And if you care about putting the hurt on, just buy a BBBB (Buzz Bee Big Blast), do a barrel replacement, and make some stefans. Oh, and if you're going to make a double clip, couldn't you just take the time and effort to make one that doesn't require you to take it out and flip it? CS's 12-dart LS clip: http://nerfhaven.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8071 And this is to everyone (not just you...) If you have the time to glue two LongShot clips together, you have the time to join my site at http://www.theinnercore.webs.com, and especially if you used epoxy. Remember, join now or you won't get the valuable incentive. And by "now" I mean NOW.
