Full metal modelgun Shotguns ?

Did any of these ever arrive in the UK ?

Anyone own one ????  

I am pretty sure I have read somewhere that they were made at one time ?? Though maybe never left native soil ?

I have owned a few shotguns : Tanaka / MGC - nice though they are , they are very plastic in build .

Even though the barrels / receiver are so obviously plastic - still the manufacturer insisted on a terrible and obvious metal bar in the muzzle   

This alone pretty much destroyed any potential use as a film prop .

One MGC I owned had seen a previous owner attempt to remove this only to horribly damage the business end of the model .... shame .

If anyone has any info I would be obliged .

ive seen one or two for sale over here , modelgun collector had one on a while back but with no price, so they should be a few about somewere, ive been toying with the idea of fitting one of mine inside a metal airsoft shotgun but funds keep going on other things, ahh the joys of self employment

Thanks Akazz

I have contacted Kevin at MGC so lets see what happens .

Most modelgun shotguns are nearly all abs build that I have found in UK .

To me its all about realism and plastic just is not for me .

Hopefully I can find something as I would prefer a modelgun to GBB / airsoft for obvious reasons .

Anyone else with metal shotgun experiences ?????

Hi
Francky still has this full metal one for sale : http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=425547193

I used to have this MGC full metal Winchester M1897 that I spruced up with an original shroud and bayonet.  It had a really satisfying ker-chunk when it was pumped.

Hi Lampwick
Nice job on the original shroud !! did it go straight on with no mods? asking as I have a few of the MGC M1897's here.. your right, nice Ker-chunk !!

It went straight on with no fettling as far as I recall. Are any of your several '87's for sale? Regards Terry

Hi Lampwick
Give me a call, we can always have a chat, I am open to offers! (though you know they are not cheap!)

Hiya,
if anyone has any ideas on where to buy shotguns I'd be happy to hear about them, I had an MGC Remington M31 which got stolen in a burglary :'-( it was a lovely model!

Hi Richard

Thanks for response

Where did you get the heat shield from ?

Is there any issues with attaching as I cannot tell from the pics how they attach ?

I have had gas airsoft metal shotguns with these attached - so I guess that is an option .

I would not know where to source a real steel one ? Will try doing some googling later see what I can find .
