Bottom left is a Diemaco C7CT and they look to be running Browning HP's on the hips (also Canadian issue)
Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm really pleased with how it all ended up fitting together. I am tempted to paint it... just havnt decided if I want to get the balls to do it or not.
Unfortunatly my CO2 rig doesnt have a pressure gauge on it (ghetto, I know.. but space is a concern, I may try and fit one in the stock later). I'm running one of those KWC 12g rigs hosed through the stock and into the Eagle stock pad. Drilled a hole and have the hose coming in through the side so its all nice and hidden. I havnt had the chance to do any formal tests as I just got it all working and together last night but cranked it seems to be running somewhere around 500fps-ish with a single BB. I'll definently keep her a bit lower and watch the valve body until I get a gauge in there though.
As for reliability, theres the odd missload or a shell failing to eject fully but all in all its pretty solid. I did some work on the ejector and it only seems to have issues if I rack it limp wristed or too quick and catch the shell on its way out. If anyone has a source for extra loading ramps I would buy a box though. I'm seriously considering having some CNC'd as the only one I have at the moment is missing one of the arms. (Max I'm looking at you!).
If you'r looking to get a shotgun I would go for the Tanaka 870 series. They're newer, are already full metal and are easier to mod. The Maruzen M870 series have their quarks but are a lot of fun to work on and unbelievable to shoot and rack when fully kitted, max described it best. The TM series are good, but for me the shotgun expirence is loading shells, racking the metal pump and watching a handfull of BBs fly everywhere. TM's are good, but if you get one and use a Maruzen or Tanaka you
will be dissapointed with your TM.
As for the bayonet, I was told it was the US M6 but it appears to be the old US M1 Grand.. Its only there until I can get a proper CF bayonet.
Thanks again for the comments guys! Its always nice to get such positive feedback from such established and respected modders! Keep it coming!
