I seem to be having an exceptionally difficult time deciding what I want to do with my M1100 revision. After reading
this as a guide, I wonder, is it more practical to buy a longer barrel/magazine tube kit for an airsoft M870, or to attempt to add on real steel extension kits. Will the M870 magazine tube even fit on the M1100 revision? Would I need a new magazine spring for the M870 one? Could I use the included spring from a real one?
I also can't seem to find anything on pistol grip style fore ends for the M1100, real steel or otherwise. There are plenty of real ones for the M870 though. Will these cross from real to airsoft, and also from the M870 to the M1100?
Lastly, I can only seem to find two stocks that would fit.
An M4 style collapsible one and
a more classic 870/1100 folder. I don't particularly like the looks of either of these. I'd prefer an EBR type of stock and they make them for the spring powered CA870 equivalents, but I don't think there's anything like it for gas powered guns. The accessories review I linked up top spoke of incompatability with real steel stocks.
Basically, it comes down to:
I want a slightly more comprehensive list of what real steel accessories fit on either the M1100 or M870, as well as what accessories are cross-compatable between the M870 and M1100.
I am sooo confused right now...
