Impulse pimping

grande · 12-12-2006, 06:00 PM

Ok, so I have this Pre release Impulse and I'm wanting to transfer her into a beast of a marker. Any ideas where to start?
LPR, new bolt, valve assembly, new trigger? I'm actually thinking about doing a triggerstop since that stock trigger feels ok.
Help me out! What NEEDS to be done?

I was also thinking about dremeling the body a little

I have a friend who does powdercoats so it should look really nice afterwards. Dremeling tips are also welcome

I have to admit that I've never played a game with Impulses, so I dont know how they shoot out of the box, but I have this "trying to get the best out of each marker I own" syndrome...that plus major case of gun whoredom

I did a simple triggerjob, now it needs that triggerstop

Vision board is on my wish list. A friend of mine has one extra, maybe I can use my people skills and get it cheap

The Impulse shoots pretty good out of the box... but if you really want to pimp it... think NDz (New Designz) internals. In the order you should buy them, I'd say...

-NDz Equalizer bolt
-NDz Rip Valve
-WAS Equalizer Board
-NDz Slick Shot Hammer Assembly
-NDz/ANS LPR (It's a Jackhammer with a big front cap... pretty good)
-Custom Products Roller Magnet Trigger

Of course, you should also think about getting a new barrel... I think you'd be fine with a Freak system.

I think that should cover it... of course, you don't actually NEED anything... but hey, those are good things to have.

Put a pump on it like that guy did on his DM4.

I just feel like "doing something" with it.
Thanks for the info Gorva, iäve heard good things about NDz 's products.

The problem is that it is a pre release and wont take regular impy barrels (I have a freak back for ion). Instead it has the same threading with shockers, only the back part is shorter on the impulse. I was planning on shortening one of my AA barrels to fit the impy, should work nicely

I would recommend the lpr before the was board and the slick shot after the bolt. Relacing the bolt and the ram shaft will greatly reduce places needing lube. Also the ram shaft and the lpr will help reduce first shot drop off, just be sure to replace the spring in the solenoid with a low pressure on to best utilize the lpr. I know some have success with reducing FSDO with the WAS, but from my experience this was a cheaper and easier fix.
Also I love my OTB 90 degree trigger frame, very comfy. Best site for impulse info was run by someone named wolverine, try searching wolverine, impulse, ion.

Very good info on the balancing of the internals for the best results
