NonEx Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Well herp derp. That's a lot of non fitting RS parts Buit yeah, no point in wasting time, energy and frustration to mod RS parts just because. Just get APS spares. Funnily enough the stuff I ordered from Brownells is stuck in customs. It's 2 screws, washer, a magazine spring and a follower. All of which I now know don't fit. LOL But I wanted the screws to measure them so I could get metric equivalents. I am pretty sure I saw on AirsoftCanada a guy who fit RS side shell holders on his. Not sure if it required mods or not though. Edited September 23, 2014 by NonEx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't think the firing pin or shell latches would work, but I expected that the charging arms would work. That's a bit of a disappointment since those always seem to be a weak spot on AirSoft shotguns. Odd though considering how some people have fit real shell lifters and triggers. That made me expect more parts to fit I guess. I'm still wondering if any other trigger pack components will work. I have started working on a design for a replacement firing pin that is screwed together rather then pressed. With two steel screws on the ends of a brass or aluminum shaft (my mill cant handle steel very well). We'll see if that works at all, then at the very least I could make a few for people with broken firing pins. Edited September 23, 2014 by Brigg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 ^Definitely would be interested in that. From what I saw from the Airsoft Canada thread, it seems trigger parts are more compatible (I mean, the trigger group basically looks lifted from a RS 870; same thing with Tanaka's 870). I really don't have a desire to replace anything in that massive jumble of parts though, unless something breaks down the line. Does anyone know how to order a spare bolt from APS?

aznriptide859 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sweet, thanks. How much was it shipped? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Mine was still under warranty so they only charged me $18 for shipping. Im not sure what the cost of the part is outside of warranty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Release in 2015 from what I read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Damn. Emailed APS, they're sending me a new firing pin and bolt guide plate (the bottom piece) for free. Who knew APS had good CS 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I did I bought all my CAM870 stuff directly from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 If they Arent sending you a whole new bolt, just make sure you heat up the screws with a butane torch or something before trying to get them out. they're loctited in, and I managed to actually break one of the screws before realizing that (Felt like it was turning, was just the head breaking off) Also, does anyone know a good way of removing the backs of the shells? I have a couple that have become leaky and they really dont want to come apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Oh my bolt is already in pieces lol, I heated up the screws enough so they came out intact Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigg Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 They had sent me a whole replacement so I didnt even care that I had broken one of the screws on the original one. But, Interestingly a real 870 doesnt have the bolt screwed onto the carrier at all. it just sits on top of it. I wouldnt be surprised if the screws were completely unneccesary.

Deadmeat Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Sorry if this has already been covered but do any of you know of a shell holder that will fit the CAM870SF? Do you reckon this will this fit? http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/angry-gun-cnc-6-shells-carrier-for-marui-m870-shotgun.html#.VCx_f914WrU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 It was mentioned one or two pages ago. Someone on AirsoftCanade fitted a real one I think. You'd be better off getting a real one than one for the TM I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 - I bought a RS one a while ago from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Remington-870-Shot-Shell-Carrier-Kit-Side-Saddle-Shotshell-Holder-for-12-Gauge-/281445996898?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41877d1962 - The RS Pins/screws does not fit so you need to buy the APS ones: http://www.aps-concept.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_115&product_id=496 - On the RS side saddle the holes was to small for the APS screws so I made them bigger with a round file or a dremmel. - I did not like the over sized "screw on thingies" on the APS pins so i did use the dremmel again to cut the screws/pins down a bit and used some plain nuts This is the result: Another way of doing this is buy some velcro and stick it on the side of the shotgun and buy some shellholders like costa did on his shotgun: http://youtu.be/dl3B9MoEZYE?t=2m7s watch the whole video if you want, but 2:07 into the video he explains why the velcro solution is better. Haven't encountered any problems with my shotgun yet... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
