Remington M87- Shorty

Anyone ever opened this baby up to change the spring? I can,t find any documentation on the subject.

Is this the UTG clone thingy?

If so, don't bother. You'll be so depressed at how crappy it is that you'll wish you just left it alone and never looked.

That said...they're easy to take apart...just go for it, no magic. Simple lever trigger/sear mech setup. Dummy-stupid piston/spring setup.

If you are looking at putting in a stiffer spring...I'd caution you to look at how the piston is being retracted and how fragile the linkage is.

Actually I need to downgrade it, this baby is a 430 FPS out of the box, and I need to bring it under 350 for CQB use.

Seems that this shotgun is a copy of the CA870. Not 100% sure its true but I found some pictures on a website where the guy disassembles it. So maybe you can compare the two. Hope this helps

Ok for those interested this gun disassemble quite nicely and the build quality is very good. I didn't change the spring since I can't find one, so I decided to cut it (with a dremel and a metal cutting blade). To bring it down to 350 I had to remove about 2 cm from the spring.

Thanks for the info, I've been looking at them but wasn't sure I wanted to buy one since they shot so hot. Handled both types, the long and the short and these things are heavy.
