[BS]_MARS Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) The G&P shottie stocks supposidly go directly on the EBR stocks. This is because the chassis is cut at the same angle as the 870. That said, I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY EBR! Quick question though. How do you EBR users deal with batteries? Is it a pain to get the battery out and put it in? How is the weight distribution on the chopmod's y'all have? I'm going with the G&P shortie EBR and want to now how you all feel about it. Thanks!

Chrissyg Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hey guys, got a problem and thought here would be the place to ask! (I promise pics if you can help me get it working! ) Â I recieved my woodkit for my M14 last week (goddamn its nice!) so I took the gearbox and upper reciever away from the plastic body, and placed it in the wood one (after a little modding). After id done that and put it all back together again (I have done this many a time before) the gun wont fire and keeps blowing fuses. When there is no fuse in it, it makes a clunking noise as the motor is trying to turn but cant..or something like that. Now havnt done anything differently from when I changed the body from the fake wood, to an OD one but for some reason I now come across this problem. Its not battery, I tried an 8.4v and a 9.6v, neither worked. The gun is internally stock!!! I can take the gearbox apart, no problems there, its just more hassle than Id like... Â Cheers for help, +1's given to all who can help! Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Have any of the motor connectors come off and shorting out on other metal parts? Â Link to post Share on other sites
Foukus Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 FarEast, how do you use that bottom rail thing to mount vertical grip? I dont understand how it supposed to be attached. Can you maybe take some pictures? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

Can you maybe take some pictures? Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â It's a modification that I did myself. Â I made a new reinforced mounting plate to replace the aluminum one that the hand guard attaches to, I then just removed the RIS attament from the vertical Forgrip, the holes perfectly lined up with those of the hand guard so I fed the vert grip screws through the foregrip and tightened the fore grip then reattached to the new reinforced bracket and hey presto! M14 EBR with Vertical foregrip. Link to post Share on other sites

Chrissyg Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Yeah, but im not sure why that would mean the fuses were blowing?? Or why the motor height changed when I didnt touch it... Â Thanks for the help guys Edited November 26, 2006 by Chrissyg Link to post Share on other sites
Thorbard Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Motor height could've been affected by the new stock I think. And the fuses blowing because the motor is trying to draw too much current (electric motors draw more current when working against a resistance). Â All I can say is try it and see if it improves. Can't make it any worse, can it? Edited November 26, 2006 by Thorbard Link to post Share on other sites

Glenn Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thirded, but it's a neat modern/vintage combo look. I'd go with an Aimpoint:D Link to post Share on other sites

Wehrmacht54 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I disagree... I think the eotech is an excellent choice. Everyone and their mother has a frikken aimpoint on their M14. Something different is always good. Link to post Share on other sites
No Mercy Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 WOW  Aimpoints look Horrid on m14's  And its worse when they are all the way back on the m14   M14s= Long Scope or eotech  That is one Sexy m14 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr6 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 WOW Aimpoints look Horrid on m14's  And its worse when they are all the way back on the m14 M14s= Long Scope or eotech <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  You think so?  Aimpoint or telescopic scope for me.

Belladonna Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 hmm, a more olive green look? that looks a tiny bit chemical and non natural. a dusting of CB for a weathered look? Link to post Share on other sites
