kliskey Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 azngoonie313 - Just georgeous! Such a shame (especially for the pic) that it has an orange tip - Would have made an excellent background wallpaper Link to post Share on other sites

HellsAngel Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I think it looks great, RIS/RAS often looks the best with nothing on it. I know it's only a movie, but nothing on the RIS... You can just argue you were issued with an RIS grip Link to post Share on other sites

suicidalsnowman Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) Damn that is fine! Is that the ACM M500? Edited April 19, 2008 by suicidalsnowman Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 never really thought much of those stocks, but looks pretty good regardless. how difficult do you reckon it would be to mod a G&P M870 top folder to fit an M500? i'd be content with the ATI M500 one but its not metal Link to post Share on other sites
whosloosin92 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yes it is the ACM M500. The externals aren't the only mods it has though. There are metal top folding stocks for Mossberg 500s although they are a bit pricey. Link to post Share on other sites

There are metal top folding stocks for Mossberg 500s although they are a bit pricey. but they're fugly. i like the flat M870 or SPAS style folders. they look so much more badass.

Titleist Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I can't wait for WGC to ship my Tanaka M870 14" Entry Model. Mmmmm Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I have got a real steel remington LEO top folder for my Green 18" scattergun. A word of warning: I bought a real steel railed foregrip for my shotty and it doesn't fit, inner diameter is much too small. Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Stunt, how's the quality on the Tanaka Scatterguns? It looks great, but I haven't seen one in person. Mine will hopefully be here next week. Link to post Share on other sites
UMGuy Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Here is my Maruzen M870. I am looking for a pistol grip for it, a metal body and a metal barrel. I also need to set up the external CO2 rig, but I just haven't gotten around to it. Enjoy Link to post Share on other sites
Jin15 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Very cool! More than cool, ice cold even I've been pondering a M870 for a while now but I'm not sure if I should go for the Maruzen or the Tanaka. Both are a little off in terms of being sized to real steel spec., and after a metal body and barrel upgrade on the Maruzen it would be about the same price as a Tanaka before the cost of shells. I know that in stock form they are both relatively weak in power but both can be modded for more skirmishable power (KWC CO2 rig and 0.12s for the Maruzen, shortening the valve springs in the shells and dremeling/filing the 4 gas release ports in the shells into 2 for the Tanaka). So I guess I'm a little stuck on which to buy... reliability wise the Maruzen seems like the better choice, since it seems just about every screw in the barrel and receiver assembly in the Tanaka needs to be replaced to keep it from jamming up constantly. Plus I've heard lots of stories about the Tanaka shells blowing out o-rings, the firing pins breaking within a few hundred rounds, and a few other nasty things as well. So I'm really leaning towards the Maruzen at this point, I just wish I could find a way to hollow out a real steel 870 wood stock to accept a KWC CO2 unit while still keeping the butt plate secure yet easily removable for changing the CO2 cartridge. Whichever shotgun I get I'm hoping to give it a nice makeover to turn it into an old school 70's-80's style 870 Police Magnum with a wood stock and foregrip. Any thoughts on this one fellow shotgun lovers? Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Finished two CA870's, got another one in the works, and possibly a fourth one if parts allow. Link to post Share on other sites
UMGuy Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I don't know how I feel about those shotgun Donut. They look pretty good, but one is silenced, more CQB-ish but it has a full stock. And the other looks like it was made for range, but it has the shorter M4 stock. If you got the time, try switching the stocks. I think it might look a bit better. But that is just my opinion.

masakarijoe Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 i do not understand the suppressor thing. unique, but no offense... superfluous otherwise, nice custom jobs -joe Link to post Share on other sites
kyonshi_chan Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 umguy- nice 870, i actually think it looks better w. a full stock then a pistol grip. donut- silenced shotgun reminds me abit of 'no country for old men' never thought it was possible. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I have Maruzen and Tanaka shotties. I love the shell ejecting-ness but I worry about loosing the shells. The Tanaka is really nice. The paint is rubbish but the trigger is lovely and so far I have fitted RS stock, sling loops and safety to it. I was a but peeved about the grip not fitting but I have used it in a cqb environment (with solid stock and 18" barrel) and it was just awesome. The action is much nicer than the maruzen but the fore grip is a bit wobbly (is it like that on the RS? I have only fire semi auto shotguns). I can forsee some problems, if something goes wrong inside the gun I can't work out how to get the action bars, barrel and bolt out. The ejector is in two bits and screws together, tanaka didn't put any thread lock on it and mine came apart. All that said, I love it. Sometimes I just walk around the house holding it and dry firing it. Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I've heard the Tanakas suffer from mild barrel wobble. Is yours nice and non-wobbly or is that something I need to worry about on mine? Looks like mine will finally be shipping, yay! Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 It is a little problem. You don't notice it unless you are looking for it. I put a dab of superglue on it and it sorted it right out. It is the barrel and the mag tube that wobble, the whole thing where it meets the receiver. Link to post Share on other sites
