I'm sick from school today, so I fixed the replacement paper clips and rubber bands in my already repaired MD2K and MD5K, and a strap mod for my other MD2K. What mods/repairs have you done lately?

EDIT: Agh, grammar.

I've recently done 2 repairs: 1 on the storm 800 and 1 on the Hydroblade
On the storm 800 I had a pump handle that was stuck and, after trying 20 or so solutions, I remembered seeing something on a website(I think it was sscentral)
I tried putting cycle oil on it and it worked perfectly.(not much of a repair)
On the hydroblade, the trigger mechanism was broken and I simply replaced the valve and homemade a trigger thing.

My most recent repair was one to repair a snapped pump shaft in the handle of my CPS 1000. I do have pictures and am intending to make a formal article on the repair. Essentially, I used a small piece of brass tubing to bridge the crack. I first thought epoxy would have been necessary, but the repair held well. I do not think you could successful perform this repair on a pump shaft cracked in the center without epoxy or another glue. Part of the reason I used brass tubing was that epoxy sticks well to brass. ;)

I finally repaired my long broken XP 110! The trigger was broken where it meets the trigger valve (CPS guns have wire for this job, some XP used strips of plastic this broke). Trying to find a repair for my XP 110 lead me to join the soaking community, and I haven't looked back since (except to vaguely wonder where my life went (Hey, that's funny. joke)).

My most recent repair was done on my CPS 4100.The trigger broke and it was still pressurized so I opened it up,drilled a hole in the part of the trigger that did not break and inserted a string through it,closed it up.And it worked.

Not really a repair, but yesterday I 'fixed' my Max D Secret Strike trigger, It wasn't actually broken, but the way it works annoys me and I just made it work like a normal trigger (If you have used a Secret Strike then you'll know what I'm on about).

The spring on my FFs trigger broke, so I had to find a way to attach it again, it works better now <_<
Has anyone else had this problem with the soakertag line?

Not many people have had problems with the '05 soakertag line, mainly because we can't get our hands on it yet.

But with me, being very accident prone, I'll probably have the same question soon.

I haven't actually done it, but the Triple Aggressor's trigger disconnects all the time. I was just wondering if there was any way to modify it so it stays intact all the time.

This won't help me, I ditched my 3A as soon as I could, but I was just wondering whether it can be helped. It apparently has a very strange PC shape, which may be part of the problem.

Now my latest repair would be my Storm 500 in which the pump was stuck and not moving. I opened it up and put WD-40 on the white rod inside and it worked, the photon light doesn't work anymore though -_- .

My latest repair would be my CPS 2700. The pump cap snapped off. Hooray for duct tape!
Rereading these forums make me feel old >.<
