Hick Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'm really liking the pistol grip version of this shotgun. Are there any other retailers besides gunners that carries it? I'm pretty sure rsov.com carries it, however I ordered it from Gunner and received it a week after ordering it with no problems whatsoever, so I wouldn't worry about ordering it from them if I were you.

Crimson Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) A couple of people have asked via pm for details of how to reduce the number of bbs per shot so here goes: Assuming you can remove the stock, trigger mechanism and gas reservoir: You will need to loosen of the grub screw in the base to release the tension on the rotating cylinder. Remove the four little screws and withdraw the cylinder. Cut a short length of rubber tube (6mm diameter) and insert it into the 'barrel end' of the cylinder. (This is a slightly larger diameter than the end that is nearest the stock.) Push this tube firmly into place. Test this with the desired number of bbs. Ideally the last bb should stick out everso slightly. Put the bits back in the gun and presto. Ohh i see you you cut the length of the tube to allow air to pass through but not a bb, would using 5mm not be better than 6mm ? as a loose 6mm might let the bbs roll past the rubber tube ? So by the looks of your design your have made your shottie fire 1 bb per shot correct ? What make is the best and what type of tube should i buy ? Thanks man 1+ Edited May 9, 2008 by Crimson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sheptr Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 For those who've had one for awhile now, are these guns holding up well? How often do you actually skirmish with them, and have they been effective in games. I like the looks, but on a practical note, I'd rather spend money on effective arms rather than the "gee I got a good looker there, fellaz" gun. THUMPS...Over I'd really love to know too, I want to grab one of these for CQB purposes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks man 1+ No, you push the tube into the cylinder cut to the correct length to fire fire 3bb's obviously it could be done to fire one. Have tried this before on my marushin 6 and 8mm's. I used the rubber tubing from the packaging on a madbull hop rubber. Think it channels the gas better aswel. Also does the acm have an o-ring between the gas tank and barrel?

whosloosin92 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) I have used both my 8mm and 6mm shotguns in game and the 6mm is WAY more effective, skirmishable, and economical. Someone with the 6mm shotgun can easily hold their own against AEGs. A week or two ago i played the entire day with my 6mm and did great. I've put about 2000 shots through my 8mm plus hours of just racking the pump for sheer joy and the pump arm finally gave way. Mind you, whenever it became jammed (happens alot when you are tinkering with it like i was) i'd just pump it as hard as i needed untill the jammed bb crushed. When I made my restrictor for my 8mm I used aluminum rod with a hole drilled in the center and forced into the cylinder. Friction keeps it in there very tightly. For you guys using tubing aren't you worrying that sooner or later it will be shot out of the gun? Edited May 10, 2008 by whosloosin92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tin Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nope, the tube I used was slightly oversize and when examined to take the photos above was still exactly where I put it. Also, why would it be shot out? The air will take the easiest route; through the tube' Any blockage in the barrel would only add to the pressure within the rubber tube adding to the grip it has.

Gir Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Quick question here. Will the real steel Mossberg M500 stocks and parts fit on the ACM M500? Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DWells55 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Anyone with the 6mm pistol grip version want to tell us how it's holding up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hick Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Anyone with the 6mm pistol grip version want to tell us how it's holding up? Mine is holding up fine, still performs as well as it did when I first got it and is still very solid, but has very slight play between the front end and the receiver after I disassembled it partially, probably just needs a screw tightened but it's not really bad enough to bother doing. I am still very pleased with it and don't regret buying it at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Mine got every upgrade under the sun and is working well, a bit tough to cock (proud arms are thicker than china ones) fires 3bbs at a time at 350 FPS This is what mine looks like now: All i need is 3 inert shells I also have a tactical tri star grip for when this becomes a secondary weapon when it sits in my scabbard: Edited June 14, 2008 by Crimson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airsofter0866 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Anyone know where to get the shorty version in the US? Also is there any reason I should buy the long version and put a pistol grip on instead of buying the shorty version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Is the front grip/pump handle real-steel? If so, did it take any work to get it to fit? I've read that they require a considerable amount of work to get to fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Five-sEvEn Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Is there any easy way to get hopup into the 6mm version? Does the 8mm ACM version have hopup? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airsofter0866 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Are the sights removable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Five-sEvEn Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yep, once screw in the front, 2 screws in the rear. Comes off cleanly. Any replacement sights that aren't a rail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupus78 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Has anyone fitted an RS pump handle into this M500? (Some people have asked for it but no one seems to have answered yet...) I was thinking of buying this set: http://www.havlinsales.com/ I'd really like to convert it to something more appropriate for Vietnam-era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'd really like to convert it to something more appropriate for Vietnam-era. Ow snap Unfortunately i haven't a clue how the real one attaches so cant offer advice, however if anybody does it i would also like to know how they do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupus78 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Well, I'm gonna try anyway... Unless someone tells me it can't be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Have you ordered a wood furniture set from that site yet Lupus78? Think I might go a head and order one from them too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lupus78 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Nope. Not yet. It will be late august when I get the gun itself. So no hurry with the wood stuff. Definitely gonna buy it though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Asked the guys about a price to the UK for that wood set, looks real good. Once I have it and if it is a reasonable cost then I'll post up a how to guide. If it looks a bit difficult I'll be asking for a how to guide instead!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 One of them stock sets is on it's way to me. I have just finished modifying the number of rounds the chamber loads to three, and I have just chrono'd it using propane and 0.2g bb's. With a room temp of 22C. Single 0.2g bb = 478fps Average Three 0.2g bb's = 356fps Average Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 My wood furniture set from the states has arrived, I have not got time to do anything with it tonight, so I will get some pictures of it etc tomorrow. Does anyone know how to take apart the foregrip? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
