H.U.N.K Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I recieved my DE shotgun today. I've had the TM shorty and TM SPAS 12 and find even though the finish is not as lush as the finish on my SPAS 12 it out-ranges it and out-powers it. Haven't got many notable seams and I haven't got a problem with the plastic or metal anywhere however the plastic on the reciever does sound dubious when tapped with my nail. For 50 quid though, I'm quite satisfied with it. Edited January 13, 2010 by H.U.N.K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 My DE matches range with my TM, but gets there quicker. The TM is more accurate, or tighter grouping, but I don't care really, its a shotgun, it's meant to have a bit of a spread. The TM is superior asthetically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 im buying that (real steel) with my tax return. its a Mossberg 500 SPX. is there an airsoft counterpart to that? -Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) yes, but youll need to get your hands on an extra set of the real steels external parts like the sights and stock/grip set. then drill the holes in the barrel yourself. the stock will need to be modified a little bit to make room for the larger rib behind the trigger guard. if you really want an airsoft counterpart, i can and will build one for you. as long as you pay for everything of course.

masakarijoe Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 what sort of weapon would it be based on? gas? spring? i know nothing about airsoft shotties except the maruzen 870 series. -Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) i had a 6mm ACM gas M500 in mind. http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?...roducts_id=3154 this one can be made to the correct barrel length: http://www.gunnerairsoft.com/catalog/produ...roducts_id=1218 if you actually want to discuss it, please PM me.

ryanm814 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 DE M3 shottie with a home made torch attachment. I zip tied a rail to the flashlight. Then attached it to the mount that came with the light. I attached the circular part, that is meant for the light, to the shotgun tube instead. It works well and it looks decent too, and it was free since I wasn't using the light and I had a spare rail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Some good CQB goodness here... Marushin Mossberg M500 with Tacstar pistol and bulldog grips, real steel heatshield and ops Crye Multicam weapons catch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Took the stock off mine...looks a bit weird lol. Spetznaz Dave, how does that weapon catch work? Edited February 2, 2010 by aznriptide859 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Have it attached to the back of my rig, reach back and unhook it with my left and drop it into my right, whirl it up and good to go. Not as fast as a pistol in the front but stops it banging about on the one point Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bbondaloose Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Is it possible to get one of the Tri Shot Clones like DE, or UTG and add a Foregrip like those above? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reincarnation... Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I seen the 215 Gear Multi-Mission Retention Sling, looks like a good system to retention a shotgun or even a rocket launching tube such as a LAW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I seen the 215 Gear Multi-Mission Retention Sling, looks like a good system to retention a shotgun or even a rocket launching tube such as a LAW. I want to carry a short shotgun a a backup, but that looks like it would be banging into the back of my arm. I was thinking of just hooking a short length of webbing to my chest and slinging it diagonally across my back, with a weapon catch behind my hip on the support side. I figure I can drop my primary on it's sling, grab the pistol grip, and release the catch with my support hand; sort of like a scabbard draw without the awkwardness. I've never used a weapon catch either, still not quite sure how it works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H.U.N.K Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Is it possible to get one of the Tri Shot Clones like DE, or UTG and add a Foregrip like those above? Yes. At least for the SPAS12, I'm sure. I believe it was by a brand called 'Smokey's' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Dont think Smokeys made one for the SPAS, but they definitely did for the M3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenworth W900 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yes they did: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Aha! I dont think that would look great on a spas but maybe thats just me :s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 i think Rhino put one on his a long time ago... cant be sure on this, but i think it was in the first shotgun pic thread, if you want to trawl 100 pages Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Foxhound Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Anyone know where I can get long mags for the G&P M870? Those short ones get stuck and I almost broke it getting it out. =/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/sy-40rd-magazin...es-shotgun.html Full metal too. Though it looks like they're out of stock - I got 3 when I had the chance . Search on ACM retailers (WGC/RSOV/Gunners) and see if they have them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Maruzen long mags fit in the G&P M870 right? Looks like Ill have to order the real ones from WGC. *Sigh* I hate paying high shipping for small things! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
