CA870 clone, assault modifications

[Strelok]

Alright, Even though you guys are pretty touchy about walmart guns, The Cybergun S&W shotgun is pretty much a clone of the CA870 spring shotgun by Maruzen (I think). Though, even though its a walmart springer, its pretty freaking accurate and packs a punch, it reads a good 320+ FPS with the poor mans chrono.

Soon, i'll be getting my hands on a JG mp001 sniper and i dont really have much now to use as a backup other than this shotgun, so i'll be working on making it compact and easy to carry around underneath ghillie. the compact part will be coming later.

Sights:
I'm not a fan of red dot sights, I find that I can shoot better with solid sights rather than a little red dot. So, i slipped the rear sight off of one of my broken airguns, and used a toothpick for the front sight of the shotgun, since it doesnt have any in the first place.








My next project on this thing would be adding a foldable/collapsable stock, I've got one from one of my old crosman springer m4's that I could possibly glue on, or make a folding (AK-S style) from copper pipe and paint.

If anyone has suggestions on an easy way to make a stock (without spending a fortune) Please tell!

Its awesome actually, It'll shoot exactly where you want it too, The hopup is really sensitive, though. And needs something to cover the slider thing, Sometimes, if you're in the bush, it'll be pushed up or down by a branch or something. I just use tape. (will make a cover for it later) and yeah, It was clear with a nasty orange tip.

I had removed the toothpic, gonna go find some plastic to cut up instead

If it's got a sliding hopup, it's not the same as a Maruzen 870, which uses a set screw.

On that note, the Maruzen CA870 is awesome. My mildly accessorized (G&P long barrel kit, metal body) CA870 Charger surprised the hell out of a few people, most notably a local with a stock VSR-10 whom I can both outrange and out-ROF. Where they really own the field is in "springer-only" games....
