not had a proper shufty on here for a good while. i'm relatively new and have a fox of teh dessert pistol. only been to the odd airsoft event over the last decade or so. i recognise some of the old crew (but whatever happened to r22master, antagon, crazy_harry and TaQ? answers on a postcard plz ;) )
might as well throw my 2 cents in here (considering that i was the one originally suggested and instigated the rule when i was a moderator back in '07 or so) the 100 post rule was set up back then as at the time there were a multitude of scammers turning up, putting items for sale and then fleecing members out of money and magically disappearing. back then the forums were quite busy and social media sites were in their infancy and with the vcrb clamping down on people buying and selling airsoft items without a valid defence, steps had to be taken in order to protect members from being ripped o
hmmm, thought i'd stuck some pics up of my latest SPAS 12 folding stock shottie. Ah well, soon fix that
only thing missing is the cover on the front pump, but if i can get ahold of a smokeys foregrip again (like i used to have) won't really matter
and finally a picture of the "Twins"
loving the folding stock bud! really changes the look of the gun hope you're gonna put a "How-to" up in the Tech section as i'd be interested in doing something similar
strange question (wish i'd kept my m870 folding stock now ¬_¬ ) the G&P Pistolgrip w/folding stock for the CA870/M870 are they compatible with the Marui or DE clone M3 shotties? I remember the grip attached to the shottie via a bolt (bit like the pistolgrip of the M3 shorty) just wondered if there'd be much work to do hollowing the grip out to make it fit the Benelli or whether it would be a straightforward fit (wishful thinking i know )
main thing is do you like it? If it's practical and comfortable to use then i say good on ya I had the same reaction years ago when i put a vertical foregrip on my SPAS12 folder shottie. Not a lot of people liked it, but for me personally it helped to acquire a more positive grip when it was raining and i hadn't brought gloves.
if you're handy with making stuff (plastic or metal) then they shouldn't be too difficult to make. Failing that, best thing to do is see if anyones got an old M1014 they don't want (or even better broken) with the sights intact. The DE front sights actually unscrew on the M1014 from the main barrel, so if you're planning on putting them onto an M3 you'll have to drill some holes for the screws to go into. The rear sights (i'll get a pic for you in a mo) can actually be unscrewed from the M1014 and (carefully) with the right size drill (i.e smaller than the actual screw itself) you can drill 2
was gonna take it off and just have the pistol grip (would probably just involve putting some washers or something in the grip to make the hex bolt hold it better) I've also tried putting my "Shorty" grip and fullstock back on it after i cut the stock nub down (the bit that sticks out the back of the M3 and secures the stock) and it's a good clean fit with no wobble and no worry about "Stressing" the grip/stock in any form.
@ShotgunSteven - He's sorta right. This was a Benelli M3 "shorty" and i replaced certain parts with the M1014's barrels, stock and sights (i don't like the M1014 pump
