For the catching issue I modified the file for the stem print (the 2 halves of the rod) to have a slightly wider diameter back (the part catching on the sear) to 17mm diameter. Then I realized the fbutt print and the plunger also needs some modifications to fit the plunger. It catches properly now. I probably will modify the files then upload to thingiverse before posting here again.
You are absolutely correct that the caliburn took a lot of reiterations before it was ready. I still have one of the originals a few months after slug designed it. And the amount of parts that I've had to replace is insane. This will definitely take time
you also can try a cheap fix for the priming issue. try glueing a O-ring on the plunger head. this way the plunger moves a bit further back and it improves the chance to catch. (btw sry for my english - im german xD)
I tried that and it still failed so I'm not sure what to try next. I kinda let this blaster fall behind some other projects. Maybe I'll break it back out.
i started watching the channel a week ago and it is by far the best channel I have EVER watched! as a starting out nerfer, all of the information in these videos are super helpful and the reviews are great! keep up the good work! :D
I bought my Indra from captain slug’s Etsy and after changing the spring out and changing out a piece in the plunger, my Indra works pretty well. It seems that everyone is having problems with priming the gun and a couple other things but I found that a slightly lighter spring made the priming much smoother and it works pretty well
The full plunger rod and sliding sear block was the original Caliburn design years before he started selling the 3D printed versions with threaded rods.
hi hound! i subbed. thanks for the review. i saw something on your indra that may causes issus: your whole front (from mag reciever forwards) hangs down a lot. try tightening the upper threaded rod a bit more or losen the bottom one.
I just printed mine, I've ran about 200 darts through it with zero issues. Running a full length 788 [square ends]. Using X-rings, and some teflon wrapped plunger ram. As far as the barrel "wiggle" you can use 10-24/10-32 screws and they'll fit though the holes perfectly. Slug did update the Front Mag section to use 4-40s and standoffs, or with the "Gen 1" Mag front, take a size matched nut, heat it up a bit, and press it into the filament to let it cool and bite, and run the screw in from the back side. It eliminates the barrel wiggle/twist , completely. Like it's gone. I will agree though, I would like to see a talon only version of this.
@@HOUNDsArmory That's was my driving motive. It's a incredibly fun blaster. I play with CANE [Cincinnati Arena Nerf Enthusiast], and I really wanted to use this blaster. But I wholeheartedly agree, it's not 100% war-ready. But I had to do something to make it usable. And that seemed to be a good workaround. and actually, I found a remix of the "front-mag" that uses the 10- screws, after i posted my comment. . . . So I cannot take credit for it.
50% of comments; 'Hi' It looks exciting. I'm a huge fan of bolt action nerf guns, though I've seen so few. Ill keep on eye on the development of this one now that you've brought this one to my attention. Are there any others you would suggest?

Leaving a nice comment for that sweet sweet RUclips algorithm :P
You've quickly become my favorite youtuber

That sounds awesome!

I'm working on some new parts and a rebuild so I'll try a lighter spring. It would definitionally make the prime easier.
Is this a strength issue or is the heavier spring just not as smooth? I appreciate any recommendations as I am printing mine now, ordering kits soon

Interesting
It looks like your barrel is bent downwards relative to the plunger tube
I noticed that in editing I’ll check the blaster.

I have replaced the cross pins with the up dated version that uses screws and that helped a lot.
That quite a wierd place to put the mic
Woot
It really was a shame the blaster didn’t work better. Good review as always. I like your firing demo setup.

That’s awesome!! I’m so glad this design is getting some tlc and updates. It’s such a fun blaster!!

@@mikeneidlinger5003 That's awesome I'll have to look for that remix. the barrel wobble is one of the last big problems I'm having with mine.

The only other significant ones I can think of are Hpa based. If you are into that stuff look for project Matilda.
Subbed.
