Airsoft Conversion Mod: UTG M87LA to Mossberg M500

A video how-to on converting a UTG M87LA spring shotgun into a Mossberg M500 civilian style shotgun.

Just some advice: foamstocking airsoft guns is a usefull skill to have, as it can really help cut down on firing noise, especially on sniper rifles. For the most part, you only really need to be foamstocking spring rifles.

DISCLAIMER: IF YOU PERFORM THIS MOD, THERE IS NO WAY TO RETURN YOUR SHOTGUN TO ITS ORIGINAL FORM, THE MODIFICATIONS ARE PERMANENT. AIRSOFTPOST IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR GUN DURING OR AFTER THIS PROCESS. PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Really a great tutorial! But I see a couple flaws. 1.) Extending the barrel could work, but what about the small tube for the BB's inside? You would also need a way to extend that. and 2.) Wouldn't the copper pipe be too heavy for the shotgun and possibly crack it? I don't know, but those showed up as problems to me. And one question: I went to Wal-Mart and bought a cheepy M4 carbine and recently the retractable stock broke off, would Gorilla glue be able to glue it back on?

[AirsoftPost]

Yeah, like we said in the video the barrel extension is mostly for a wallhanger situation, not for actual use. And gorilla glue is pretty amazing stuff, but the crappy plastic the M4 is made of probably won't hold anyways.

If you want something that not everyone has, remove the stock completely. Mount the reciever to an airsoft m4 or ar 15 if you have one, with the back of the reciever up against the mag well. The ar's mag will act like the grip of the shotgun. You would have to do some fabrication to make it work, but it would be cool, and accurate, as Remington has 870's in that configuration to interchange with the m203.

[AirsoftPost]

Yes, that's an M870 MasterKey system, and you can make one out of this gun.

can a m16 clip be modded on a M87 shotgun i hav one but dnt noe if works?

[MrHarrysachs69]

If you dident want to repaint it and use bondo for taking off the mount system, couldn't you just thread the screws back in until they are flush with the gun? It wouldn't look nearly as good as yours, but its a 3min job thats free that would make it look better that stock.

[assassineater145]

does this shotgun has the same quality as a walmart shotgun?

[itsahod]

no matter what you do, its still a cheap 30 dollr shot gun. thats how much you paid.

[bikeracer28]

the copper tube wouldnt work. if u look at the outer barrel wen u take it off there is a ring on the bottom of it. that ring goes behind the knob that screws on and off. and a copper tube isnt gonna have that ring. 

[RE1206]

just to let you know: that doesn't look a think like a Mossberg 500, it looks like an 870.

[thecardrawer10]

woulda liked to see the actual finished product in this video with the long barrel.

[XZCXMedia]

look more like a real gun??! i live in england(newcastle to be specific) im not sure thats such a good idea for me ;)

[philrox89]
