Black Dragon Upgrade Thread

[cdstorm2002]

Speaking of upgrades for the BD. You may want to look at the Powerlyte Scepter barrel system. It's cheaper than the Freak and is supposed to eliminate the chance for wobble if you're running high pressure because the inserts are loade from the front,are fixed in place, and don't require an o-ring with oil. You can find it at topchoicepaintball.com

Ok, a question here on going LP. After I get my Max flow reg and Nitro and whatever else I decide I'll need to go Lp, do I need to make any adjustents to anything(like the nitro/C02 tank) or do I just screw everything in and I'm good to go?
And by the why whata think of my upgrades?
*Eggo 2
*Boomstick Ti
*CIP derlin bolt
Smart Parts Max Flow Reg
Nitro(decide exactly what kind later)
AKA tornado Valve
An assualt Block
*=already have.
So would you change anything I want on my setup?(oh ya, I have a Sniper)

I've got a question.....what upgrade do you guys think will help increase accuracy the most other that a barrel?

[wulf1010]

The Reg, and the paint U use, find paint thats good quality and matches your barrel and you should see good accuracy

you need a spring kit and you need to sand your striker

[Hobbs32]

Oh ya, what spring kit would you recomend?

[CaustikSpecies]

Id say just got for the 32* 1, thats wat I have and ive had no problems with it, i also think it comes with the most springs as far as its resistance goes to change it, also its color coordinated very sexily......?lol

[markiscool]

i am a newbie and i want to get a drop forward.....ok so will someone tell me everything i need to get and everything i need to do and where i can find all of it??__thx

[aballama]

you'll need a bottle screw in(duck bill for example), the actual drop forward(must be spyder style screw holes), but some drops have a bottle screw in so the duck bill isn't neccessary.you'll also need some hosing and connections to run a gas line to the foregrip. you'll lose the stock reg and bottle screw in if you do this though because they don't have standard screw in's so you can only use them with the stock drop forward. my true advice is not to mess with the stock drop forward cause i don't believe it's worth the money and losing the regulator to change it. instead buy a performance upgrade like a fast loader or a good barrel, like an armson stealth (buy it, shoot it once and know why i reccomend it, it makes boomys, freaks, bigshots, all other barrels look like they have horrible accuracy compared to it.) but it is strictly preferance of what accessories you want to get

[dangeruss]

what a incredibly helpful thread.

thanks a ton.

How low pressure can a basic go with only a barrel upgrade i want lower pressure but i dont want to mess my gun up so no cutting things off and such

[cdstorm2002]

A barrel upgrade is not going to allow you to change the internal operating pressure of your marker. You must start with nitrogen or compressed air an then move to upgrading the internals because the gun stock is set up to operate at high pressure (550-600psi).Internal changes include the bolt and valve to a lighter and more free flowing respectively. Then a regulator upgrade. I think that's about it.

[Synchronium]

what you need is
1. high flowing valve
2. high flowing bolt
3. polished internals
4. spring kit
5. va and lpc
6. lp reg
7. barrel with lack of porting for at least 8 inches

[aballama]

synchronium hit all low pressure upgrades right on the nose, but the truth is... a javelin or other very slick barrel will actually lower operating pressure a decent amount, but by no means can a barrel by itself make a gun really low pressure. and nitrogen or compressed air is not at all neccessary for low pressure, gas is gas, nitrogen and compressed air is just more consistent and more stable than co2 and will only make your chronoing more consistent and squeeze out a tad more accuracy, i've never run nitro on any of my guns, its just not worth the extra money.

[Synchronium]

the javelin is the slickest barrel there is, period. i want to get one

[aballama]

i agree, javelins are pretty sweet

[dangeruss]

I have an M3 BD LCD.. and (i think) it has .45 grips - stock from m3

who are some good grip makers?
and which ones will fit?

thanks

[aballama]

Dye sticky grips, best grips made hands down. i'm gettin some soon. i'm not sure if they have a model that won't cover up your lcd, nothing getting a little creative won't fix

[tempest993]

Dye stickies do NOT fit black draguns, regardless of the lcd.

[aballama]

creativity with a hole punch and 2 minutes of work makes all grips fit all guns. the lcd would prob take 5 minutes of work
