You should get a shorter version. There is no need to have such a long airsoft shotgun, specially if you actually plan to play indoors.

the retractable stocks on cheap spring shotguns are horrible. every single person I know has hacksawed it off because the stock either broke or wobbled horrible. get a full stock UTG trishot. since the trishots are harder to crank, the full stock makes for a nice sturdy support that lets u keep ur sights on the target while racking the gun. i owned one of these http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info ... s_id=29230
i don't anymore because i needed money and had to sell it for a quick $50

I've taken the wobble out of my stock, by removing the bolt inside the stock tube (required a loooong 4mm allen wrench), putting locktite on the threads and tightening it back in place. I also ended up adding a strip of electrical tape along the length of the tube to keep the stock from slipping while the gun was being pumped. Minor shit really, The gun is worth it IMO for an affordable M1014 style scattergat.

I fixed the wobble by simply tightening the bolt in the stock; and the gun in my opinion is diffidently worth it, it has a nice top rail, and for a collapsible stock it's very stable.

Most of Fragistan has a trishot of some sort. We swear by them as backup guns - they always shoot, they are really bloody reliable and they're just good for something of its price. The full stock ones are better, but really if you can find them in stock anywhere these days just get one.

Yeah other than wobble stock that can be fixed easily enough, they're good. Shells are cheap enough too, and they work every time.

Very reliable. I happen to have a stocked version and one without the stock, and they are extremely consistent and worth every penny. They are absolutely amazing; however, your long barrel version has the same inner barrel length as the shorter ones, IIRC.

Thanks for the help I'll get one with a shorter barrel and full stock.

I own a m1014 I bought from Riddick at a event that was full length it wasn't very expensive I think 40 bucks I love it. The stock is nicely built I haven't has any troubles with it. It hits way to high for CQC but for feild games it's like using my echo1 bolt action but a pump lol. If you want a full size I say go with the cyma. Ask riddick he may still have some from the event still
