Base gun is an ACM spring 6mm, single shot shotgun, which only cost £12.99! The heatshield/bayonet lug is a Tanaka one and took quite a bit of modifying to the gun to get it to fit securely. I sanded and filled the stock, then painted it to look like wood (same as the pump handle). I've also fitted and ground to shape a metal M14 buttplate, to replace the modern looking rubber one that it came with. It feeds off the same magazines that I use in my Garand aeg too, which is a nice bonus. Shoots around 350fps too! I tried it out at Dragoon and it wasn't that accurate, so, I've now fitted a proper brass barrel to it and teflon wrapped the hop. It's surprisingly accurate now. I'm pretty happy with it, as it's a far more practical skirmishing weapon than a Tanaka 1897!

Nice work.
You might have started something - I heard from UnCompany today. Those Tanaka parts are out of stock now. :(
