swatti Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 This just made into my buy-list. Been hoping for a tm clone. As I don't want to pay for pixie-dust and I'm more than happy to tinker this should be a nice buy. My plan is to airstock it. Will need a 3d printed grip. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 235 fps on green gas? Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha_Wolf Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 235 fps on green gas? Upgrade with on of the 3 possible valve options? Or the 3-4 nozzle upgrades? Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Received mine at the office this morning. No time to try it out until next week though. Standard Jing Gong/Golden Eagle box, no picture on it, but it says "Electric Airsoft Gun" on it. LOL. Hard black foam inside, gun, cleaning rod, gas tank and 1 shell. Manual, too. The gun seems pretty sturdy. Although there is a fine gap between the two stock shells, not too bad, but it stands out in a gun as slick as this one. Matte black finish, not super realistic, but it'll do. Exteriorwise, it seems like a full Marui clone: the forearm only racks back half-travel when pumping the gun. I ordered it from http://cop9gun.com/prshop/en/other-airsoft-series/1178-golden-eagle-m870-gas-powered-shotgun.html as shipping to Spain was so much cheaper. The package came in rather quickly, too, given the fact that it spent 3 days at customs. I can only recommend this shop. Link to post Share on other sites

The charging arm handle and the shell tube already has some scratches from pumping the gun. Oh well. The shell flies out when you press the lever to open the door quickly. I think that is pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Included shell fails to feed properly, but the ones I got with different brands of trishot clones feed just fine. Gas reservoir has a semi-silent valve and does not leak. Have not been able to shoot at open range to determine distance, but at 12 meters BBs fly straight with no drop seemingly. Power seem fair, Too. So far so good. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Very consistant chrono readings in 3 BBs per shot mode: 358-368 FPS. Transition from 3 to 6 BBs works flawlessly. No missfeeds or doublefeeds using a Cyma shell. Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Awesome. Hopefully they do a breacher, if not I may buy one anyway! On my phone, my spelling will suck Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha_Wolf Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Well...seems like they did it. Considering the length of time after release im not too surprised. I'll grab one and see if i cant convert it to a breacher Size/dimension wise how different from a breacher is it Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I thought about this, too. But it's: 30$ for the gas tank, 50$ for the grip assembly and I can't find a spare breacher forearm, so i'm gonna say 25$. Plus the base gun = 205$. If this takes of, hopefully Golden Eagle/JG will make a Breacher. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hmm. This + M4 stock/grip adaptor + HPA line + drum mag conversion = much fun Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hmm. This + M4 stock/grip adaptor + HPA line + drum mag conversion = much fun here's hoping GE/JG makes such a version, too, as bothe the G&P and the Angry Gun adaptors are stupidly expensive.

chas Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Alright, I havent taken the gun to a field, just shot out from my house and it shoots great. Cant give exact range, but pretty much as far as my 330 fps MP5s. Spread is nice, in the sense that you want the BBs to flare out after 10-15 meters to be able to hit targets by covering a greater area. The spread in 3 shot mode is bigger than in 6 shot. Using 0.20g BBs it overhops significantly after about 10-12 meters. With 0.25g BBs you get a bit of overhop after 25-30 meters. So I recomend using 0.25 for woodland and 0.20 for CQB, where the distances dont give the BBs time to start climbing. The metal side shell holder from my PPS M870 fits perfectly,BTW.

Wingmann Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Interesting. Maybe a sister for my chopped off Marui 870... but in long version with a tube extension. Link to post Share on other sites

Batmause Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'm thinking about buying a used TM M870 as parts because my M870 is broken at the inner plastic shell next the locking-arms. Now with this option I can buy a new gun for parts, great. The gas thank is not an option for me because the aluminium gastanks not to expensive - Tonic Airsoft and IronAirsoft tanks are good after you replaced the o-ring in them. I hope that the M4-stock conversation and the other inner parts will come from chinese too. Now I'm really thinking about buying WiiTech parts for my gun but they are not really cheap.

swatti Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well, that's it. This seals the deal. I'm bying one. I will be making a M4 stock adapter for it but it will be 3d printed and mostly meant for HPA setup as I will run it with an airstock. I can add the adapter to my Sculpteo and Shapeways stores so everyone can get one. Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha_Wolf Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 As long as all the after market stuff (internal / external) fits on i'll snatch one , maybe even two. Just need a confirmation on that, an i'm sold Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just ordered myself one and some shells... Expect the stock-adapter to follow soon once i get my hands on the gun itself. Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Oh goodie, mine has arrived at customs. Couple more days to go Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Well, it arrived.Fully compatible marui clone. Inside and outside. Stupidly over-comlicated and the "gearbox" shell is plastic but other than that, a good gun, like the TM, but half the price.Im not sure if TM has "dual hopup" in theirs. This has two nubs on it for when fired in 6-shot mode. I removed the mode in mine for the time being but may try it when i HPA tap mine to see if i can get some range for all 6.Another difference i noticed was a ~1mm metal rod in the middle of the nozzle-trio. Springer tri-shots have been known to die when a BB gets stuck in the middle of the nozzles... An improvement!Next in line is a 3d modeling the stock-adapter and then on to the internals. Adjustable hopup and maybe some steel-printed moving parts. Link to post Share on other sites
