Licensed Pulse Rifle pre-order

What are the Remington load/ejection ports like on this replica? Do they move or do anything when the pump is racked? Metal or plastic?

Just wondering, I don't seem to have seem much comment on the Remington parts so far.

The load port is hinged and as I said above hangs a little low (at least on mine), but is easy to fix. It's painted black, but I think it should be silver if I'm not mistaken. There is no spring, just gravity.

The ejection port slides back when the pump is slid back, revealing the empty chamber inside. One of SDStudios grenades WILL fit inside, but you cannot close the chamber with it in there as the forward wall is solid. With a long enough drill with a wide enough bore you could hollow out the grenade barrel all the away to the ejection port and then glue the grenade to the front of the receiver/firing pin (whatever that area is). That way when you rack, you see a grenade get "pulled" into the chamber and then "pushed" into the barrel. The only thing missing is that thin metal tab that pokes out on the side, but you obviously can't mold on something in resin that small and thin, however a small rectangle of cut soda can or something glued/tacked on will look the part.
 
My green version arrived today, #209. I haven't opened it yet but I will let you guys know how it is when I do.
 
#247 is straight as an arrow:

I'm guessing; I haven't got it all the way out of the packaging, yet. This is like smooching your first girl.
 
Since I started this thread, might as well post mine (sorry for the grainy iPhone pic).

I live in Los Angeles, and UPS just dropped it off. This is a Brown Bess Rifle, #24 out of 1000:

Hey alienscollection. That PR looks pretty straight to me as well, but I have to wonder: In the pic you posted with your PR on the counter, I can see daylight between the shroud and the spas under the front part of the shroud. Is this right? I thought from all the other pics I've seen that the shroud should meet the spas. Any thoughts? i think your PR looks the best thus far btw, which proves in my eyes that this is a QC issue.
 
There's a little bit of open space, which is fine - doesn't really bother me. Having held the Icons hero prototype back in the day, as awesome as it was (and it really, really, was), I have to say I prefer this one.
 
Just received mine. Thoughts?

By the way, the guy who posted about squeezing the triggers clearly forgot to read the instruction sheet (attached).

In relation to post #1086, the GL on mine does appear to be angling a bit downwards.

Well, if they didn't mean for the triggers to be moved, they should have followed Master Replicas example and made them static. But here, the main trigger is spring loaded and feels really nice, if a bit fragile on the material that was used.
 
Sorry these are crappy quick pics as the sun was setting.

Here are my two - both versions:

The OD one has definite droopage - The BB version I am not sure - It looks straighter but not sure if it is totally straight either.

Now here they are compared to a Black Matsuo/SDS build that Matsuo did all the work on. (real Spas & Remington 870 - Airsoft Thompson, SD Barrel vent and stock)

My first one arrived today. #74/1000. It has just the slightest hint of barrel and SPAS droop; I would probably never have even noticed it but for this thread. The only other finish issue I can see is that the Thompson bolt is a bit weak and wobbly, as someone else also mentioned. Everything else feels solid, and there are no paint defects or scratches. All in all, I'm both relieved and pleased. Now we'll see how the OD looks when it arrives tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.
 
HCG still has these for sale on Ebay and the auction says shipping in 5 weeks.
Not sure if that's an outdated auction description or if they are just waiting on a new stock...
I placed an order with them so hopefully I get one - and hopefully they are fixing the droop problem...
