Description

This modifies the front end of the talon claw by replacing two parts in the original talon claw model to use bearings that smooth out the prime (similar to how the Alchemist does it). This helps to lower the amount of strength needed to prime the blaster and makes operation of the blaster just generally feel better. 

In order to install the kit you'll need:

9x 623 POM bearings (you can get away with 7, and maybe 5 if you really want to push it)

9x M3x12 socket head cap screws

2x M5x16 or M5x20 socket head cap screws

2x M5 hex nuts

1x 6x7mm ball detent (you can get this from outofdarts.com)

 

  1. Use the M3 screws to fasten the POM bearings into the areas circled in red
  2. Place the 6x7 mm ball detent into the top hole. It should friction fit into the slot and will keep the priming block from flopping around.
  3. Place the hex nuts into the areas marked in blue.
  4. Place the doom shroud overtop the priming block and screw it in using the M5 nuts. 
  5. Install the rest of the blaster as you normally would. 

 

Let me know if there's any issues with this design. it's been solid and worked pretty dang well on my talon claw, but I'll make changes if any of you find any issues.
