Xeno-Morpheus Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 A pic of my custom-cyma shotty. It's a RS-foregrip and stock. From a M870 and a M500 respectivly. Got a custom metalbarrel and heatshield. And the custom metalhousing is what I'm currently working on, seen down to the right. Also in the pic is the original cyma foregrip for comparisment.

massacreman Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 any internal upgrades xeno ? Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Yeah added a stiffer spring. It was an old spring I had laying around. I think it's an old marui-one, which then should be around M85 measured by systema standards. Haven't upgraded the "holdingarea" for the spring yet. I must do so pretty soon. I'm also working on fastening the stock in a proper way. Shouldn't be too difficult to build some sort of metalhousing for the spring. Thought I might add some metalplates to the back of it aswell for fastening the stock. The area where the stock meets with the body of the gun is a quite crusial area. Anyone who has any suggestions feel free to comment this. Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Just out of curiosity; why the p***ing-f*** did you do all that goodness to a CYMA gun? Would not any other manufacturer's gun have been better - the internals are the only thing left, granted. but surely then you would want them to be pretty good - am I totally mistaken here and CYMA make one high-quality thing i.e. shotguns?

massacreman Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 the CYMA AK seems to be as good as the mauri one, although there shotguns are ######, well so is most of there stuff but maybe he didnt want to mod another gun because he might mess up the internals by accident , who knows he might be a pro at airsoft mechanics:o.

massacreman Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 anyone here got the utg shotgun? and if so is it worth buying over the ca870 full stock? Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Yup, totally - and fair play in that case - yet it still strikes me as odd unless the insides are pretty much totally replaced - in which case wouldn't a Maruzen CA870 be a better choice to start with? Anyway, good work Xeno it should look very interesting when completed! Regardless of your crazy starting point Link to post Share on other sites
massacreman Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 i think i'll go with the ca870 as it seems to rise above the utg although the price is higher aswell, now i have to get see if i can persuade my parents to let me have the full stock version. Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) For the price the UTG are golden. But of course you get what you pay for and the CA870 will be better as well as upgradable. But for the price I really like the UTG's. They leave a surprising welt as well, breaking the skin sometimes at close range. Good power. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Edited August 12, 2006 by CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites
massacreman Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 thats what i'm after in the CA870, its upgradability, as i want to make it like the M870, ie full stock and extended barrel and short mags i've read the reviews on the UTG and the fps is amazing for the price.

suicidalsnowman Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Can anyone put up some pics of the Maruzen shotties with shell catchers on. Link to post Share on other sites
maelstrom Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 now if only maruzen would go and make me a shell ejecting benelli M4! I'd be all over that. Link to post Share on other sites
massacreman Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 just ralised what the m4 looks like, the long barrel and mag barrel with thepistol grip stock, surprised they haven't made one yet, would be great, although they would expect normal prices of benelli, wouldn't mauri make it as theyare making the benelli's?

Runner Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 It'd be great if Maruzen made the M4, but they would have to redo their blowback mechanism so it'd be able to handle more powerful gas, not just hfc-134 That would be so cool Link to post Share on other sites
Glenn Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I hear ther M1100 revision is pretty slick...maybe they could drop that updated mech in there. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 massacreman - The CA870 full stock is discontinued btw, it's out of stock everywhere. I was going to do something similar to you (G&P metal body, metal front end and short mag) but I couldn't find the full stock anywhere, emailed WGC and they said it's discontinued.

Tunershark Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I finally get to post a picture in here! Expect to see a few modifications to it within the next month. -Vic <{POST_SNAPBACK}> how do you like the revision? im thinking about buying one as my next gun, is it reliable? how does it shoot? thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Hvy gear Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) Maruzen like to do things in 'limited runs' and 'special editions' and as such there stuff seems to come and go fairly quickly except for a few things. Your best bet would probley be off the for sale sections of forums or if you could find a retailer that has some left in stock. Edited August 15, 2006 by Hvy gear Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I've checked out all the main HK retailers and most of the main UK retailers, all out of stock One was on the forums the other day, but I had no money :'( Link to post Share on other sites
flipsnip Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 im in the same position, really want to get hold of an 870. Just hope they re-release with preinstalled metal body then id snatch one up. Link to post Share on other sites

massacreman Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 darn, dunno what to do think i might go buy the UTG shottie as it seems to be just as good, if not i may go with the CA870 pistol grip, the first version. Link to post Share on other sites
