This originally started out as a pullback longshot, but when my priming handle broke off, I decided to make my own twist on the singled longshot. In my opion, this way is better than the traditional way because you can now take the priming handle out and the seal is now more like a coupler instead of an o-ring, so if you mess up getting everything straight, it won't mess with the seal. Anyways, onto the writeup.

Materials

1/2in. PVC coupler
1/2in. PVC
1/2in CPVC
1/2in. CPVC tee
Hot glue
Epoxy
5/8 spade bit
Drill
Dremel
FBR
1/2in, CPVC endcap
Hot glue

So, I never intended on making a writeup until my pullback LS broke, so this is the first picture I have. You first have to glue the PVC coupler onto the plunger tube.



 After that you need to get a piece of PVC and cut it to a length of 1/2in, and then spade it out with a 5/8 spade bit. After that dremel it out until CPVC can slide through it easily. Here is the finished picture:



You no longer need that stupid black spacer piece.


(Yes, I know it's a bad picture.)

You're going to want an awesome spring combo, and the one I'm using is a K26 and recon spring:



You need to cut a length of CPVC to 6in. (or 6 and a half. I don't remember which, but I think it's 6 in.)



Now if your using the same type of lube and me (which is for sale for 9 dollars), you will get a perfect seal when you go to prime the blaster, creating a vacume:

Normal:


Vacume:


To solve this problem, I had to cut tiny notched in the CPVC. (Sorry, no picture!)

You can install it into you longshot now, because of the fact that everything is removable except the coupler in this setup.


(Yes, mine is an epic longshot.)

Put the tee on one end of the CPVC.



Fill most of the handle with foam back rod.



You can also fill the end with hot glue.



After that, put an endcap on it (sorry, no picture!)

I'm not goint over how I made mine, because I don't want people to make epic longshots with the front like mine just because it is easier. The point of an epic longshot is for it to be custimizeable, and if everybody used LSK barrels, they wouldn't be as cool.

Anyway, cut a piece of CPVC for your barrel (mine is 10 in.)



Your goint to have to hot glue your barrel in.

This is really all that I have documented, because my front is different that everyone elses. This is the end of the writeup, but you can folow the original one for the rest of it.

Here is the finished picture of mine.



I still need to get an endcap for mine, but I am getting around 70ft. flat with a less than  perfect seal because of the hot glue. I'm in love with this blaster. It is probably my second favorite.
