onizuka-gto Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm still surprised no one has gone and had a steel tank made, or at least something that can withstand the pressure abuse that non-Japan players will play with. I'm pretty sure G&P is on it, they are one of the only company with a 3rd party gas tank for the M4 gbb rifle, the fact that they were one of the first of HK companies with m870 accessories out on the market, means they have already got the m870 stripped and documented down.

GSO-Geko Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd appreciate a hammer set that isn't potmetal. Here's hoping RaTech is on the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EOL Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 This is how my tank looks untill G&P release theirs. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuey Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Haha, good initiative. Works with propane? Still clips into the stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EOL Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thx bro. Yes it works just fine with Green, and the stock fits great since i did not mount a bolt in the middle hole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
point7 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 can you tell me what size the screw are ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EOL Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 It´s a M3 screw with a locknut. But i had to shorten it a bit. You will see how much you have to remove once you have mounted and thightened the nut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EOL Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 You still have to have the middle pin mounted because if you use a screw it will obstruct the mounting claws of the rubber butplate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Good idea. I might think something slightly more elegant but along those lines. Goddamn Swedes! Right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sacairsoftsn00py Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Sold mine to a buddy for $200 with all 11 white tm shells am a red tm shot shell ...all boxes and nitty bits included. Played with it for one game. Lol. Hope TM comes out with a pistol grip version...I'd be all over that. Waiting for my other toy to come in now.

Wingmann Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Cheers Wingmann. I'd already seen your post, looks great btw. What I'd really like to know is how did you finish off the end of the barrel when you cut the metal. The barrel is made of aluminium, so it's very easy to work with. I have a set of small fine files with different shapes but for this job you just need a flat one. Depending on how well you do the cut you'll have to work more or less with the file. Take it slow when cutting and try to do it as straight as you can on all three axes, then finish the job with the file. I also cleaned the edges by filing them just very slightly at 45º, just enough to dull the cut, inside and outside. For the inside I used a curved file but you can use a flat one if it's thin enough. The clean cut was covered with a black sharpie. It won't stay black, but it won't be shiny aluminium either. You could paint it if that finish bothers you Edited January 14, 2014 by Wingmann 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G-Spec 1150 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wingmann any tips on taking the front sight off? My one is extremely tight and won't budge sideways to reveal the screw underneath. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
onizuka-gto Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Oh. Whoops. Thought you were talking about the barrel ring not the front sight. Edited January 15, 2014 by onizuka-gto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I simply punched it out, I think right to left. Be sure to place the sight's base on a good firm table and leave the post on the air, then just tap it out. If a gentle but firm tap doesn't work, try the other way (left to right). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr manji Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hi guys I have recently bought a m870 marui after reading this thread and all I can say is its amazing. Posibly the most fun you can have with an airsoft gun One small niggle I have found is the front end is a bit sloppy. Is there any way to fix this or are they all like this?

FTZ-WildeCard Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Is everyone using TM shells only? I've got some ASG / DE clone shells and they work 50% of the time, and it is ruining my enjoyment of this otherwise excellent shotty! Are there any tips or tricks to get the clone shells to work consistently? I'm not adverse to plumping for TM shells but they are 3x the price and hard to come by. Thanks in advance!

Wingmann Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 On originals, I just have the one that came with the gun. All the rest are chinese ones. I might have bought them at Gunfire maybe, but I don't remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
