hi guys it's out of darts I know this is not the tutorial video that people were looking for but I
really wanted to do it because I've been getting so many questions about these Springs this is the
rival Chronos it's one of my absolute favorite rival blasters and I it's probably the thing I've
been most excited about this year now captain Xavier good buddy of mine who lives nearby has
also already done a mod guide to this but I wanted to additionally address some other concerns and
questions and whatnot because I have been getting a lot of emails and messages so this is the Cronus
we're gonna do a full mod guide really simple it's probably the easiest Springer I've ever modded and
it's certainly one of the easier rival blasters but really quick let's run through the springs
this is a full length K 26 custom on my store this is different than you would buy for mcmaster
because it has flat ends as you can see both ends have squared off ends this is a four inch one that
is for a K it's a K 26 also with flat ends but it's just under four inches and this is for the
boom ko m6 and the boom ko far shot now this due to its physical size of the links when this is
compressed inside of here it literally will not prime because there's not enough room in this
plunger tube so this is not the spring you want if you were going to cut yourself you're going to
wanted to grab one of these long ones and you can get up to three out of this I am also currently
offering custom cut and crimped end ones just like this this is twelve coils you can do eleven
and a half to twelve is my recommended range on the lower end you'll have a slide that moves my
apologies to one of my customers who got one that was cut a little short by accident we fixed that
in the meantime if you cut too long of course it won't prime easy to cut and dry again but eleven
and a half to twelve coils is what you want that one's pre-cut anytime you're cutting please use
eye protection and as always your modding at your own risk I'm not responsible for anything you do
so let's get going so the first thing you do if you are going to cut yourself you're gonna cut
this to twelve coils now I have one here that's just ready to go so I'm just going to line this up
choose the spots I like to wear a glove in my left hand and grab grab this and then you're going to
your spot and I am going to go ahead and snip that so I will eventually have a fully custom
version of this that has flat ends with slightly larger gaps between the loops it will be a custom
spring for this blaster in the meantime I will continue offering now I like to use a set of
vise grips and appliers to simply turn that edge back in that way you're less likely to wear on the
inside of your plunger tube on the blaster so there's our spring it's ready to go that's at
12 links we are basically done with everything else and it is time to get opening so I will
use a normal screwdriver I do of course almost always use an electric one when I'm doing this
for customers or in in bulk but for simplicity so once you've removed all the screws you're going to
want to take this slide off and then there's one additional screw here and the whole body
should come off and hopefully you don't do like I did and trap everything you're going to take this
piece out here and take this little guy out here you can leave this little rocker there and I'll
pull out our plunger tube I did lose this little spring here which just goes back on top here so
I like to keep everything as close and organized as possible I did lose a few more screws that I
needed now if you don't want to have the safety mechanism if you want this always to be able to
fire you can pull this out right here otherwise I personally like the safety option I'm gonna leave
it intact so we're going to simply remove our old spring and you can see how much longer that is it
just doesn't have quite as much pounds per inch or kilograms per inch and we're going to take
our new spring if you have an open cut spring I recommend putting that in the bottom though it
really doesn't matter too much you'll notice this is just shorter than the length of the
plunger tube and that is because it has this flat end now if that end was sticking up you wouldn't
want it any longer than the plunger and I know captain Xavier agrees and mentioned the same
thing once you've got that you are essentially done now my buddy triple B or the nerf curator
actually removed this o-ring and put teflon tape around the bottom to create a much tighter seal
in there now I tried this and while it did get me about another 10 FPS average it actually caused
the darts to spin out more and I don't know if that's an air loss thing or just the sheer FPS
because as this spring sits right here with no modification we're going to shoot about 130 high
120 so it's really good performance that arrival to begin with after our spring is on there you
want to make sure that notch is facing up because it lines up with the release inside here and we're
just gonna slide this through and pop everything back into place I did once my first mod flip that
upside down and of course it will not catch and we'll get all these pieces back in place oh yeah
hopefully this is clear for anybody that's having any problems putting back together before you do
finally close you do want to check that you've got this piece here this is stops here to allow you to
pull it half way it makes priming it a little bit easier and when we should be golden here so
after you've got all the main screws on you could put your slide back in watch out for
this little guy here you do want him it's the only screw that really matters as far sighs
because it is smaller and I have to apologize I'm having problems with my table is wobbling
not the camera mount this time so I am glad I did this simple tutorial before doing the
Nemesis tutorial which will take me most of a day to film right now we've got it back together we
just want to finally test that it indeed does prime this shoots hard now it is definitely a
huge step up you can see here that when I fire the stock one I get somewhere in the 70s range
at the highest and with this modified spring this K 26 I get up to around 130 averaging high 20s to
low 130 and pretty impressive I think if you go any higher like I said ceiling that oring
you actually run into problems where the balls start to curve out further you will also notice
that when you've modded this to shoot 130 feet per second that the worse the ammo is the worse
that it's going to perform so newer ammo and genuine ammo or the better headshot rounds are
going to fire better out of this than other generics hope you guys enjoyed this video I
will do a lot more mod guides in the video I am gonna try figure out why my table is moving so
much to try improve the quality before I do any serious electronics ones but there will be a lot
more of this coming because I do really enjoy doing tutorial videos and I think they have a
lot of value both for you guys watching and for my shop too so until next time I'm out of darts
