Description

The Type 870 series from Golden Eagle are manufactured from Alloy to be as realistic as possible, using only Polymer for the Pistol Grip and Stock as per the real thing. The M8874 Model is a re-imagination of the M870 platform, and features more tactical furniture than you can shake a stick at. This Airsoft Shotgun performs just as well as it looks, with an Internal Gas Tank located in the Buffer Tube that can be accessed at any time without de-gassing the Shotgun.

As per the Tokyo Marui series of Gas Shotguns, these replicas take standard Airsoft Shotgun Shells and can fire either a 3rnd or 6rnd Burst of BBs with each pump. To set this feature, simply pull back on the pump and move the slider behind the mock bolt. To load the Shotgun you only need to press the release lever for the Breech Door, push the Shotgun Shell into place till it clicks, close the Breech Door and get pumping! Each Shotgun Shell holds 30rnds, for a total of 10 shots when on the 3rnd mode, and is filled using the Speedloader to force BBs into the front of each Shell.

The M8874 Model is a super-tactical version of the Full-Length M870, and features a Full-Length 20mm Rail on top for you to mount optics, or anything 20mm compatible that you're brave enough to install up there. This Rail System comes with a set of Flip-Up Ironsights installed out of the box, which can be used with a main sight or removed completely. The Magazine Tube for the Shotgun can act as a shell holder should you wish, and can be accessed by unscrewing the front cover with an appropriately-sized Allen Key. A Thumb-Through Safety can be found near the Trigger, which will block the Trigger and prevent the Shotgun from firing. The Pump Handle locks in place at each stage, so you can't double-pump or otherwise misuse it. The rear of the Shotgun features a Six Position Sliding AR Stock and AR Pistol Grip to make it comfortable, and to adapt the length of the Shotgun to suit the situation at hand. A 6 x Shotgun Shell Holder is mounted on the Receiver out of the box, which allows you to carry more shells and perform quicker reloads. A set of QD Sling Loops are installed in the front and rear QD Sling Socket, allowing you to make immediate use of a One or Two Point Sling Setup.

Included in the box are 6 x Airsoft Shotgun Shells Speedloader, Instruction Manual and the gun itself. If you're looking for one of the most realistic Airsoft Shotguns you can get, then the full metal construction, powerful tri-burst action and refillable Gas Tank of the Type 870 M8874 Tactical Gas Shotgun will appeal to you very much.

Special Instructions

These Gas Shotguns rely on smooth, mechanical movement. For this reason, it is incredibly important that you lubricate and maintain your Shotgun using a Silicon Lubricant, such as the ones listed below. Failure to do this could cause issues. 

Abbey Silicone Gun Oil 35 Spray

NUPROL Premium Silicone Gun Oil

We also highly recommend the use of Maintenance Gas when the Shotgun is not in use, to help keep your seals as fresh as possible.

Joule Charts

Special Instructions

These table can be used as a reference to see if the BB weight you are using will be over acceptable Joulage limits at some Airsoft Sites in the UK. To check if the weight can be used chrono your weapon using the BB you intend to use, and then compare it to the chart.

FPS, Power and Joule Limits can vary from site to site, so please get in touch with where you're going to play with in advance to avoid disappointment.

Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, with a 350fps limit for Automatic Replicas, 400fps for Semi-Automatic Replicas, and 500fps for Bolt Action Replicas.

Tap the tabs below to open the relevant chart for your replica.
