[ivanhoe13]

Hi GUYS,

Got my Blaster out of the box a doopey doo resin one now looking at it Im ready to take it one the nut heads Im going to drill out and I was wondering if anyone has done this and replaced then with the real bolt either the full bolt or heads and the next question is what are they and the size not much of a handyman so any help guys would be a great help and some of the air holes in the barrel have`nt been drilled out is theis the normal thing or is it the way the kit is cast ????anyone point this trooper on the right path ?????

Cheers guys !!!!!

People have replaced the barrel retaining screws with real ones.

 

I have no idea what size they are, but that doesn't matter, because...

 

 

 

There they are. $2 each.

 

 

Which holes haven't been drilled? A picture could be worth a thousand words.

I think he means the vent holes in the barrel itself?

I agree, but he says 'some of'. Which ones?

Doopy Doos web site says: "ON THE MAIN BODY ALL THE VENT HOLES THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY A BARREL FIN ARE OPEN EXCEPT FRO THE ONES UNDER THE FORWARD STOCK TO GIVE YOU AS MUCH AREA TO GLUE TO BUT THEY ARE STILL THERE IN RELIEF DETAIL SO YOU CAN DRILL THEM OUT IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO"

I have read a couple of posts with the holes in the folding stock are drilled with a flat tipped drill bit but only shallow drilled to give the illusion of there being holes but still having the strength for the glueing.

i will use screws to mount the folding stock on pvc pipe, not glue

If you are talking about the nuts at the end of the barrel and the bottom of the grip, yes. see my WIP here

I'm going to be super picky and point out that those bolts don't have the correct knurling pattern.

I used 1/4-20 Socket Head Screws.
