Scavenging old parts for newer blasters

Long ago when nerf modding was rather new, and there weren't much aftermarket part makers, one company stood out.

ORANGE MOD WORKS

The first company to offer metal internal kits for various blasters, the OMW Metal Recon kit was notoriously famous for making your blaster hit further, harder, and not breaking apart.

However, as the technology for nerf blasters improved, the OMW Metal Recon Kit is now considered obsolete, to the point where a slightly modified blaster and outperform a heavily modified nerf recon with metal internals.

In the spirit of old school modding and the fact that I don't have the money to buy new stuff, I decided to try and salvage some parts from an OMW Metal Recon Kit which I have in my possession.

 Steps to update the old metal breech.

1) Cut out the "stem" from the breech

2) chamfer the back end and smooth it out with sandpaper

3) mark out where the O-Ring(s) are.

 Be sure that the upper ring is the same position as the stock breech.

4) Cut out the O-ring slots.

With that, you will now have a new breech that is made of metal.instead of plastic.

 This will help the breech withstand harder impacts from higher spring loads as well as improving the internal aesthetics of your blaster (cause metal is more "bling bling")
