  1. 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 off at a time when airsoft pretty much had it's nackers on the chopping block. now (almost 10 years after that 100 post rule was first put into use) the day of the forum has sadly dwindled due to the popularity of sites like twitter and facebook thereby reducing the number of members that used to influx this site. yes maybe the 100 post rule should be reduced down to 50 or even 25 posts, but you have to bear in mind that the forums were once a place of information, reviews and airsoft events.... not just so people would join up, sell an m4 and then buggar off again.

    yes the 100 post rule is now obsolete and i agree with that and if you want to blame someone for it, then blame me, but for the benefit of the new members who turn up and randomly start bashing the mods and the forums in general - that's not fair. it worked back then, maybe not as much now. at the end of the day the mods and the forums had the members interests and safety at heart (and still do)

     

    anyway, rant over..... i'm off to build a dalek or something....

    peace out ;)

  2. hmmm, thought i'd stuck some pics up of my latest SPAS 12 folding stock shottie. Ah well, soon fix that :D

    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"

  3. 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 :D )

  4. 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.

  5. Since we're on ACM M500's, here's mine:

     

    ATI grips

    Private Parts steel cocking arms

    Cut down outer and inner barrel

    Now THAT is how i'd have a Mossberg (only thing i'd put extra would be a heatshield and possibly Ghost Ring sights) Very nice!

  6. 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 small holes and attach the screws that way. WARNING: DON'T drill too far down though otherwise you'll end up drilling into the piston and fubar-ing the shottie up.

     

    EDIT: Pics up...

    and one of the front sight. Word of warning, if you're planning on using M1014 rear sights with standard Benelli M3 sights, they'll be too high to get an accurate shot. That's why i opted for the front M1014 sight as well. Hope that's some use (sorry couldn't take any more, last of my batteries have just died and i'll have to stick them on the charger :)

  7. 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 - personal preference :D ) I was originally inspired by the single shot version that they sell over on RSOV and thought "i'd like that... but firing triple rounds instead of single" ;)

  8. Was going for the "Richard Aitken" version of the Benelli when i built this little puppy from Resident Evil (remake version)

    started out as a Double Eagle benelli clone (shorty version with full stock) Changed the short magazine tube & outer barrel for one from a Benelli M1014 (some minor alterations - namely drilling a few places) Stuck an ACM Metal heatshield from a Mossberg M500, took the rear sights from the M1014 and retapped them to the M3 receiver (but didn't want to put the picatinny rail on - wanted the sights to be similar to the Benelli Nova SP) Placed a barrel clamp from a full sized Benelli shotgun for extra stability and cut the stock tube at the rear and placed a "Tilt n' slide" M1014 stock on there. Only sacrifice i had to make was the front sling mount (as i'd put it all back together before i realised i'd not put it on) Might put it on at some later date but at present i'm happy with it. Also made a "Pump non-slip-grip" for the pump (like the ones you see on the shorty cruiser style shotties to stop your hand from sliding off the pump and being blown off) Works very well and doesn't affect the operation in any way. Pump is a tad stiff again through the heatshield, but it's starting to soften up again with use. :D

     

    Only things i'm planning now (which will be at a later date -- funds permitting) is to fit a Taclight to the magazine tube with a long pressure switch and a sidesaddle shell holder.
