I watched two YouTube videos on how to mod a Tek Six. Both said to open up the case, remove the cylinder, insert a screwdriver into each of the holes from the rear, use a hammer to pound the screwdriver through and knock out the pegs/air restrictors, then the pieces would fall out. In one of those videos, there was a subsequent comparison range test between a Maverick and the modded Tek Six in which the latter seemed a fair match for the former.

My own Tek Six, recently acquired in an otherwise Nerf bundle, had these weird, flat pegs. Initially, I could not find many dart types that would fit those pegs, and of these, some would launch about ten feet and others would not even leave. Well, after I knocked out the pegs, all darts I loaded WOULD fit, but very loosely, and they would all launch a mere four or five feet. Crap! Unlike Nerf blasters which create a seal from both the chamber and the pegs, the Tek Six sealed SOLELY via the pegs. And now I have just destroyed that seal.

The case says "Buzz Bee Hong Kong 2005," so I assumed it was authentic. Is there any possibility that this is a pirate clone with only superficial resemblance to a real Tek Six? Two video reviews of a stock unit show pegs shaped like plus signs (+).

I guess it's JUST an older Buzz Bee product (or derivative thereof) and I didn't put much money, time or effort into it. I could be redirecting my energy into learning how to re-wire a Rayven or Stryfe for voltage upgrades. But I don't like to leave things dangling unfinished and unexplained!... Any thoughts?
