Tanaka Shell Ejecting M870
Posted: 10 months ago | Great condition for its age
Item Description
Only been in my possession for a couple of months and envisioned us having a long and healthy romance together forever, but unfortunately its just not working out. There's really no point in me having this beauty so despite my reluctance to sell it, I'd rather see it go to an owner whose going to appreciate it more often than I will.
Gun is in overall great condition given its age, and I was surprised at just how few blemishes there are when I first received it. Sure there's some blemishes where you'd expect like the stock and especially the bolt rails, but even then its not too harsh. The only thing to notice is that the pump does have a couple of inches of looseness - for example if you place the gun stock to the ground, muzzle to the sky, the pump will probably slide down a few centimetres - not enough to rack it, but is still very noticeable.
It feeds fine and shoots fine, but being only 3 round shells (original Tanaka Works shells which are a bastard to get a hold of these days) it is a bit underwhelming - just like every other shell ejecting shotgun. Don't be expecting a sphincter tightening blast like a black gassed 160rnd 40mm grenade.
Out of the 17 shells ( think one or two might not be pictured) at least 12 of them work as intended, 1 is a bit intermittent, 1 has a crack on the inner casing and struggles to hold bb's without spilling them, and at least 2 of them leak which is probably repairable, I've never looked into it given that I suck at replacing o'rings even on my glock mags. These old shells can disassemble ,the faux brass parts come off to allow you to remove the internals, and sometimes if they're not tightly fitted together or if they get nudged loose by a few millimetres while being loaded they can misfire or produce a lacklustre result. That's just a design flaw with the shells that I noticed years ago with my PPS XM26. (PPS m870 shells are compatible)
These are more of a collector's piece than a skirmishable weapon, but god speed if you want to try it.
They don't produce these anymore and when they do pop up I've seen prices all over the place so I welcome offers and haggling if you can convince me my price is off lol
I'm open to trades but they're not biggest priority. Anything AK or any RIF that's quirky or 'a bit different' goes - However you must be willing to collect and trade in person. I will not do trades via post.
Collection in person is preferred but I will post at an expense to cover with insurance.
Happy to provide additional pics or videos of it in use.
Comes with original box, plus a box for shells and its original loading assist tool.
