    Bob Long’s Defiant Rebuild Thread

    This has been sitting in my bench for longer than anticipated, but it’s time to see if this old beast and be revived. So we’re got a Bob Long’s Defiant, circa 1999, in Lava anno.

    First the easy stuff! The rear tube easily disassembles by hand, just pull the bolt pin and the assembly slides out.

      Next is removing the frame. At first I was worried it may have a broke frame screw, but the front grip frame screw is actually top mounted in the tray.

      To remove the trigger frame from the body you need to remove both the tray and the trigger frame by removed the 4 long bolts two of which are located at the rear of the marker and two just behind the front grip.

        While separating the tray and trigger frame from the body you can access the battery. It’s alway interesting to see just how old of a battery is in these old markers. Gives you an idea of the last time it was use.

        And here we have a 7-11 special, so someone needed to grab a battery on the way to the field before being able to play.

        And the board, located in the grip frame. Note the ICD board dated 1999.

          Why does that battery just give me nostalgia chills? I didn’t even buy 711 batteries

        Next is to remove the solenoid, so I don’t accidentally break a wire.

        As you can see, it’s an ICD solenoid. Be careful with the solenoid gasket! Mine appears to be in good condition, but don’t want to break it and need to find a replacement.

          I wonder how difficult it would be to make a new gasket with RTV.

          If you need to just get the manifold machined for orings and don’t worry about the gasket anymore

          There is like a 95% chance that gasket is still good to go. Looks like it's in great shape.

        And that’s it for tonight! Next steps involve a blow dryer, some minor offensive language and a strap wrench.

                      Alright, got more done last night, so let’s continue!

                      Going back to the LPR, which is Required some love to remove.

                        Now to the HPR. I was surprise how easily it actually disassembled except for one piece.

                        Turns out three main body of the HPR comes off nicely and the bottom of the HPR, the hollow section, just screws right off.

                        Couple little pieces to keep track of when the main body section.

                        Now getting the HPR adaptor off the body was a pain. No wrench flats.

                          Now to disassemble the HPR. A slotted screwdriver remove the bottom piece:

                          Pretty sure the spring isn’t supposed to be sitting like that. Good thing I didn’t try to air this up right away.

                          And man is it ever dirty in there! But considering this marker is 25 years old… not too bad.
