nope.
I made a shell catcher today out of cardboard and shit and its got a flap on top so i can access the bolt and everything, im just too lazy to figure out how to attach it to my gun. I jury rigged it with some tape to see if it works, and it works fine, im just PRETTY lazy
Yeah, I was gonna say that without the charging handle you get a mild inconvenience, but it makes rigging a shell carrier significantly easier. I'll probably do the same thing on mine at some point.
also, extractors, I think mine is starting to wear down.
where buy

I'll PM you the link, but its ~$20 + international shipping.
You're best off doing what is described in the video I posted last page.
[QUOTE=notrabies;36859566]As Felix said, M1100's have no need for the power upgrade, they're good to go from the start.
Also, you don't need to give up on stuff, keep your options open. The full size M1100 can be converted into a much shorter gun, just by adding a new magazine spring, magazine tube cap, and folding stock/pistol grip.
Similarly, swapping the stocks on a full size M870 is easy to do and will save a lot of weight. If you really wanted, you could even convert a full stock into a sawed off, although I wouldn't want to destroy that beautiful wood stock.
Also, its best to remember that the M870 is very durable, while the M1100 is more likely to have problems.
If you have access to basic machining stuff, you can probably perform the extractor mod as detailed here:

Both of the M1100's in the package Catbarf and I are splitting have this modded extractor, so I'll be able to give you guys some pictures and stuff of it.
But yeah, look around at M870's, CA870's, and M1100's and try to find either a short or midlength design you like, and I can probably source parts for it.[/QUOTE]
Ok, so this is what i've gathered so far. Correct me if i'm wrong.
870s are durable, but need the power upgrade to work well. It's a steep price for the gun and the upgrade and everything else in the beginning but because of it's durable nature, it's not much money after that. There really aren't any CQB 870s, as far as i've seen, but if i could be linked to ones that do exist and are in stock that would be nice.
1100s are more prone to break because of their semi-auto nature, the extractor should be replaced, it doesn't need the power upgrade, and shorter is generally better due to it's intended use in CQB, but long guns can be made into short guns. The Revisions are not very good looking and Defender IIs are sold out everywhere.
External lines are recommended for both 870s and 1100s.
That's what i have so far.
Anything else?
Ok so my buddy is selling an old Echo 1 Aug. Its OD green with the scope, vertical folding grip, and no rails. It works fine. What do you guys put an estimated value at?

Revisions can be made to look like Defender IIs, you can take off all the rail crap and put on a new handguard and/or stock.
Or make a wood grip like Felix and I did
Yo homies, what was the name of the Combine-looking mask?
I would like to know also
If you're referring to the metrocop one, that's a PMG mask.

No, we mean that one in Taiwanese Prick's photo of the storefront with the mannequins wearing lower face masks.

My G&G F2000 charging handle snapped off at the base of the spring guide.
If I want it fixed, I have to buy a whole new upper or hope the AEX guys can replace it somehow. Argh.

Dallas Texas, the paintball field that double as airsoft wont allow airsoft guns anymore. So I need one in my area, know where to look?

Mine snapped off too, i guess it's a problem across the board. I guess we just have to live with it.
Same thing happened to my friend on Saturday. :c
I'm in FL so I couldn't tell you. Though I'd get an AEG as opposed to a trishot. With your budget you have more than enough.
hahah what the fuck my AKs were posted up on VFC's facebook
