I'm sure it will have a spring like the Tommy bolt does. Makes sense.

Here is what Matt says.
"I'm a combat advisor.

To clarify a few things:
"The picture is the first production prototype, it's the piece that sorted out the shape of the unit, so it looks solid because it is.
The launcher has a bolt latch similar to the real 870 so when the pump grip is fully forward it remains closed.
The shrouds will be two piece aluminum.
There has been a lot of work put into this thing in order to get a reasonable compromise between functionality, metal content and price.
Many of the sacrifices made , notably the resin instead of metal, Thompson and grenade launcher, and the lack of 'full' electronics, were made in order to give you metal shrouds, barrel vent and stock.
As far as the vent and stock solid resin would certainly cheapen the look of the piece and as far as metal shrouds, well it's a forgone conclusion that those are the single most desirable factor.
The lack of a "full function" electronics kit was to keep the price down and hopefully eliminate possible problems that sometimes occur with complicated electronic setups. (I know this first hand)
All these issues were juggled and prioritized, added and eliminated in order to keep the price reasonable. HCG did not want to make a solid resin gun for $200 or an all metal super 'hero for $4000, The sub $1000 price is (we hope) what will make the HCG PR accessible to the majority of collectors."

Thanks Tom, I feel the love!
Unfortunately the border guards wouldn't be too pleased. I've heard they could seize a piece of toast if it was shaped like a gun. :rolleyes

I better not get a second payment notice ...i paid less than a week ago
here is what the webpage states
The cost of your item will be broken into six separate equal payments. The first payment will be deducted from your credit card at the time of ordering. The next four payments will be charged to your credit card on the 16th of the following four months.The final payment will be charged to your credit card when your item is ready to ship and will also include all applicable taxes and shipping costs.
