Well, I fixed a Mediator that was hopelessly jammed in a half-cocked position and full of bent darts. Once I figured out how to "uninstall" the side magwell and get in there, the problem was that the mobile part of the breech (which slides forward, peels the top dart out of the mag, and interlocks with the barrel) was BENT. 8-(

But once I'd determined the problem, I just bent it back, and sharpened-up the tip with a razor blade to make it interlock with the back of the barrel easier instead of "colliding" with it.

Should've taken pictures; it's hard to describe with words when some of these pieces don't even have widely-accepted terminology.

My biggest project is trying to build indexing Battlescout clips from scratch. Bought the stupid thing at a thrift store, recognizing it as a newer Modulus model but not knowing its backstory... and of course it had no mag^H^H^Hclip, and you can't buy them anywhere individually. (I picked up an X-Shot Bug Blaster which has an incompatible-but-similar indexing clip, for inspiration). I'll post some pics or vids or something if I ever get one working reliably.
