That shot gun project is pretty awesome.
What happened to Weltman's version? Last I heard it was with Lapco.
My Mod 85 spits the cartridges out so hard and fast it's insane. Empties the mag in less than a second and the shells go 20+ yards
It's fun as hell, but not very practical!

Primer based would be nice but with firearm laws the way they are as well as field insurance issues, I don't see that type of system working out. It stinks because it'd be relatively simple to do too.
I'll have to check out the rap4 ones to see how they work. The MCB thread is awesome, it's a shame not a ton came from it on the self contained shell side.
I'd love to have shells (and for that matter, a mod 85) just for the shear awesome factor. I think I'd be giggling like a little girl the entire time I played with it.
A full auto version would be awesome, but not really necessary. Many fields wouldn't allow it which makes them less cool. I understand the safety issues but you almost need a marker like this to be F/A.
I haven't heard anything since there was a post from Extravaganza showing the Lapco version. I'm assuming it's still being made but no idea on the release date.

If the wood was drawn up we could machine that too.
We would need a really good drawing in solidworks or a program like that.
Also I think I have a couple Mod 85's. I also have the original loading equipment for the shells. I'll look around for it if your interested.
I'll see if I can find some time between all the other projects to draw something up. I think a modified Sheridan style valve would be the best. Otherwise something like the DSP would be pretty sweet.
I honestly doubt I'd ever find enough cash to pay fair value for a Mod85 and loading stuff. They're incredibly cool though. If I was a worse person I'd never send Neftaly his.
