Robot666 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Is there some kind of national shortage on shotguns at the minute? Every shop I've looked at have barely any in stock. I've been after the golden eagle v2 M870 with wood furniture for a while now. I know manufacturers rotate what their producing throughout the year but are none of them doing shotguns at the minute?

pyromancer6 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I think I grabbed the last GE Wood 870 on PB, so that's my bad - I didn't even know they'd made a V2 version to be honest, what's the difference? Just the fact it doesn't use removable gas tanks anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooly57 Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I think everything gas at the minute is just a ballache to get hold off 🤣 friend of mine is trying to find a saiga or a akx, the ak is a nightmare to get unless you want to pay over the odds, saiga seems to have re stocked currently. hope you manage to get something soon 😅 Robot666 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted October 21 Supporters Share Posted October 21 Niche gun = small volume of sales = no rush to re-stock. I'm actually surprised that patrolbase even have the tacticool M70 in stock. Given the £60 price difference, is there anywhere that you can source wood / "wood" furniture to swap onto it?

pyromancer6 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Arrived today, and awkwardly enough... ...It's also a V2, which means I've completely had you off - sorry! I was under the impression it'd be the V1 gas-tank version and from the listing it looked that way but nope, guess they just forgot to update the product page. Hopefully when all of them are out of stock they'll get a few more in? They can't be too expensive to import wholesale considering they're just chinese TM clones, right? First impressions are good - the tank doesn't leak when you put gas into it, which is a nice bonus & it feels a lot smoother in the action compared to my V1 but that could just be the fact it's brand new compared to the absolute state my original GE 870 is in lol, the wood feels cheap but pleasant and it seems to shoot the exact same power as the V1. Hopefully they restock them soon if you're still really keen by the time it comes around & I hope I'm not being a prick and rubbing it in or anything, just thought I'd share the info because the page isn't accurate lol Cannonfodder, Rogerborg, Robot666 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot666 Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 I ordered the tactical black polymer model instead. At least I'll have a new shotgun and I can pick the wooden one up if and when they re stock pyromancer6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
