HOW TO MOD THE RECON CS 6 MOD

You don't have to BUY a Retaliator - in fact, I'd recommend against it. In these cases, you'd create what is called a Retalicon which involves taking Retaliator internals and putting them into the Recon.

HOW TO MOD THE RECON CS 6 MOD

One of the primary reasons you'd want to mod a Recon is if it's one of the special shell releases (GearUp, Clear, Sonic). Pouring money into a default internal Recon, or buying any of the ancient mod kits somewhere is also a waste of resources imho. There's a reason you shouldn't waste any time modding a Recon CS6: The Retaliator is direct plunger and has relevancy in today's Nerf scene, the Recon is reverse and does not. I know some people recommend buying a retaliator, but I donвЂ™t want to do that *I know some people recommend buying a retaliator, but I donвЂ™t want to do that Thanks in advance for any answers, sorry for the long post! Is the performance boost great enough to justify removing the AR? Is this truly beneficial?ДЄre there any other basic modifications I could do to boost performance? A friend told me about taping up the O ring, does this actually do anything (IвЂ™ve seen conflicting opinions)?ДЄnd, lastly, what are the benefits of removing the air restrictor? A variety of sources indicates that if you remove the AR the plunger tube can damage the plunger cap? (Or maybe I have this all wrong, please correct me.) IвЂ™m not sure if IвЂ™d want to. I see a lot of people on youtube covering up a small hole in the plunger tube. So how much of a boost (fps/distance) can I expect? Will it be on par or better than the elite blasters? Or still worse? What is a K26 spring? Is there a corresponding KG rating? (Not for the Recon, but I see it recommended for many Rival blasters)ДЄlso, IвЂ™m guessing the performance of the Recon after replacing the spring still wonвЂ™t be phenomenal (IвЂ™ve read about the reverse plunger system and how itвЂ™ll never be as efficient as the direct plunger system). If anyone has a link to one, would be awesome.ДЄlternatively, will a spring mod for the retaliator fit for the recon? I know they have different internals, but is the spring size the same? What other blasters have the equivalent spring size? However, IвЂ™m having trouble finding a 4.5kg spring for the Recon, presumably because of how old it is. My main goal is to replace the spring (if nothing else) with a 4.5KG rating spring. Any help is appreciated, as I said, very, very new to this. IвЂ™ve done preliminary research, but the youtube videos are pretty confusing, so I have a ton of questions. It was my first nerf blaster, and I want to make this thing relevant again. Make sure to only use soft rubber pads that are easy to compress, so that it can allow the bolt to move backwards fully for proper loading/unloading of magazines and chambering of darts.Д®xperiment with various plunger padding methods to help maintain the durability of AR removed blasters over long-term usage.Having heard about it for years, IвЂ™m finally going to get my feet wet and try to mod a nerf blaster, specifically the Recon CS-6 (yep, in all of its 2008 N strike yellow glory). The 20mm diameter soft rubber/foam pads i used in the above example are from a brand called 'Volkmar-Fix', they can be found at most common hardware shops. In the following photo, soft rubber padding is attached to the base of the plunger. Therefore, padding should be applied to the plunger to help cushion the impact. Due to repeated direct impact on the bolt (hence the loud cracking sound during firing), many users of modded Recons have experienced bolts eventually punching a hole out of the back of the plungers! This results in very high wear and tear on the plunger, by both normal firing and dry firing.

Without the AR, there is no air buffering system to cushion the plunger on bolt impact. Let the glue set properly before re-installing back into the blaster. Step 4: Join back the 2 sections of the bolt sleeve using plastic hobby or epoxy glue. Very soon, the bolt will separate into two parts and the AR will just drop out. If it doesn't move, rotate the pipe cutter again, do not over-tighten the pipe cutter! Keep testing. Rotate the pipe cutter 2-3 times, and try to pull apart the bolt. In the following photo, a pre-sliced cut has already been made for reference. Just tighten the pipe cutter slightly and do the rotational cut (not too much or else it might slice the bolt in half). That is the correct position to cut (though you can deviate 1mm either way). Please observe closely the spot where the pipe cutter blade is positioned at.

You will need a rotational pipe cutter to cut the bolt in order to remove the AR. Step 3: This is the 'Pipe Cutter' method.
