Okay, I sacrificed a CS-6 to see how well this mod works. Bottom line - mixed results.

I removed the follower and cut one dart-width off the bottom with a band saw. As you can see, it cleaned up very nicely. Next, I noticed the third loop from the top of the spring gets jammed between the follower and the bottom of the clip. So I beveled a portion of the follower so that the loop could glide up into the cavity inside the follower, to get another 2 or 3mm of travel. (see area circled in red)

End result, I can now get 8 Elite darts into this CS-6. But it's very finicky. Often the darts will pop out spontaneously because the spring is compressed to the max. When I try it with aftermarket clones that tend to be just a little thicker, I can only get 7 darts in the clip. Some of those pop out too.

As for feeding, that wasn't a problem. At least in the clips that successfully held all 7 or 8 darts once I got them into the blaster.

But the main issue I'm having is simply transporting the clips. If you jostle the clips even a little, the darts pop out all over the place. Next I'm going to mod the shell of the clip so that it clamps together more tightly. However, that mod's for another night. Buenas noches.
