LoneWolf Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well, a friend wants to sell me his brand new boxed Marushin M500 8MM, could you tell me what upgrades I could get for it? (external) Any opinions on this gun? (yes I did read the review on Arnies) Would I need to mod it so I could use green? Cheers, Mike ™ Link to post Share on other sites
LoneWolf Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 O c'mon dammit. Cheers, Mike ™ Link to post Share on other sites
onidemonXLR Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 no mods for green, im not sure about external upgrades ONi Link to post Share on other sites
hendrix Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 there is upgrades for green gas but its not something you buy you need to modify the gun to do it Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 The mossberg m500 pistol grip fits almost like a glove. You ned to file a very small bit of plastic off where it seats to the gun (at least the one I bought). there it is...bottom left Link to post Share on other sites
LoneWolf Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 OK then, what would I have to do to make it take green? Any stocks for the M500? Cheers, Mike ™ Link to post Share on other sites
clmwrx Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 It takes green stock. Link to post Share on other sites
LoneWolf Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 It takes green stock. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but how does it work in the long run? Cheers, Mike ™ Link to post Share on other sites

thecaptain_ps Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 You'll need to plug the overflow valve (NOT THE FILL VALVE!) with some sort of epoxy, as in warm weather, the gun will vent green/propane out of it. Gun was designed for hfc134a. You may want to consider the Deep Fire steel charging bars, as the originals are pot metal and break easily. Mine broke the first day or two after I got it, after very rough "Hey! It's metal!" handling. You can buy spare original bars from WGC if they're in stock, but I'd recommend the deep fire. My set was $33 from redwolf. The gun doesn't really need any performance upgrades if you're running green/propane. It shoots well enough, and hurts like a mother! Happy blasting!

Carbine Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Also, good luck finding one! They're sold out at WGC and it's such a good gun, that it will be very hard to find someone willing to part with their's. I'm certainly not selling mine Link to post Share on other sites
onidemonXLR Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 You could mount barrel clip flashlight on it for a tactical look. Anyway, with the noise of racking that beast, a flashlight in the face would make it even more intimidating. ONi Link to post Share on other sites

I'm certainly not selling mine <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A friend of mine bought two from a collector in Japan, new and boxed. I persuaded him to sell me one But it is damn more expensive than the RedWolf/WGC price.... (he did pay a lot) Cheers, Mike ™ Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Basically any Mossberg M500 furniture shoulds fit, wood or plastic. Gonna stick a M16 Pistol Grip/ Stock adaptor on mine with ans LR300 side folding stock and a barrel heat shield. Edited because I can't type worth *beep*. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 do a mossberg 500 search on ebay- My current plan is to invest in a mariner m500, chop the barrel, put on a chrome heatshield and replace the grip and the stock with real stuff- seen a very nice top folding stock/grip combo that should fit like a dream but yeah, given the way its designed with the gas reservoir in the body, not the stock, pretty much any RS kit you can buy in the states should fit without too much bother. Obviously this advice is intended for airsofters in the States, NOT the UK, as attaching RS stuff to their airsoft guns can land you in a spot of bother for breaking Section 5 firearms legislation, so don't Link to post Share on other sites
Carbine Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I installed a real cocking handle and folding stock on mine. The Stock fit without any mods, but the cocking handle needed to be modified a bit to fit the locking plate found inside the Marushin cocking handle. Link to post Share on other sites
