I know thats how the real one's look, I just think it would look cooler if the barrel were cut down a lil' bit. But hey, this is your gun, and I've been proven wrong on how I thought this now-beauty would turn out before.

You could always put a bayonet mount on it and take out a few imperials on the canal in '43! Looks good. Looks like I have my next purchase coming.

I really love what 've done to the shotty. Personally I'd go for the full stock any day, allthough the pistol grip might be a bit more practical & tactical, I just love the looks of the wooden full stock.

I agree with the opinion supporting the full stock and love the vented barrel shroud. Do the bayonet housing and you have a viable replica that would be appropriate for a wide variety of periods all the way up to Vietnam.
Mentara your banner is most disturbing!

Did painting the lollipops y affect the ability to rack it any? (Did the paint make the mechanism stick?) I did pretty much the same paintjob on my ACM M500 as Guiness. And first I sprayed every metal part with blackkrylon spraypaint, but then I undid some of it on the upper side right under the handguard because the pumping was getting harder. Also some of the paint scraped off by pumping it was getting into spaces around the handguard. So now you can only see the silver unpainted part if you rack it. Another note: this rules and is really necessary if you want to keep the action smooth. I just wonder if it would help to paint it first and then use the WD40 to smoothen the action so the paint wont get scraped off.

Well the many coats of primer and then black enamel I guess kinda protected me from that- So to answer yer question Jed, no, the painting hasn't made it harder to move the pump handle, and yes there is a small line directly aft of the back end of the pump that is scraping but on mine it is just effecting the top most layer of deep blue- I'm pretty sure its the little screw that helps hold the foregrip on and I think that can be sorted out. And I will tip a pint on your behalf- Cheers! er uh...I mean Slainte! of course Oh and Mentara- WD40 is the 'Kryptonite' of Airsoft toys- it eats away at the rubber seals that make up the gas system of the gun, it's actually more of a ' corrosive' than a 'lubricant' sadly- I just use a liberal application of Silicone spray (or 'Siriclone Splay' in Engrish ) along with white lithium grease- much safer than hearing all the gas vent out when you try to fill the gas res- WD40 gets everywhereOn a side note- You live in Belgium right? Are you near any historic sites? 'historic' meaning as related to WWII? I have been trying to 'enlist' some of our Euro friends to take some modern day pics of any and all locations they are local to for us on this side of the lake- I think it would be interesting for those of us that can't easily get over there ourselves to see what they look like today as a comparison. Slainte!

I highly recommend you keep WD-40 as far away from any airsoft gun as you can as it is a solvent not a lubricant and if it gets in contact with your rubber seals it will destroy them Use pure silicon which contains no abrasives.

Well, I was aware of the corrosiveness of WD40, but I use it only on the handguard, that's why I think It won't hurt anything vital. I've been using it for almost a year on my other shotty, aTokyo Marui, and it hasn't effected the pump action a bit, aux contraire... But you're right in saying that you shouldn't use it on anything rubber-like! Guinness: u got PM!

The ACM M500 and the Marushin shoot 3 bbs at a time

Ah, but you can get it to shoot just one. You can't chrono 3 bbs at a time.
