3 Springs, as far as i know

8skippy40 · February 9th, 2008, 01:43

would that mean that i need to buy 3 of the same spring? i am kinda clueless here.. i have worked on my aegs, however the m3 is a whole new ball game for me.

The TM shotties has their own spring by PDI, but I've only seen the ones for SPAS. The length of the spring is different between the SPAS and M3, according to an earlier thread on ASC (or Arnies, can't remember which).

On the TM M3 shotguns I've worked on have had 2 springs. 1 inside the other. If you remove the inner spring the pump is easier to cock but you lose a little power and distance. The outside diameter of the outer spring is smaller then one used on an AEG. It's closer in size to a VSR or APS spring

what type of spring woulr you recomend to buy to make my gun shoot around 320 fps?

Yeah I'm trying to figure out upgrade info for my TM M3 shorttie as well. Does anyone know anything about this.

The tm shotguns arnt ment to be upgraded.(AFAIK)

Yea this been discussed to death many times... Not worth the hassle and money to even try and upgrade one... Hence why it hasn't been successfully done yet.

8skippy40 · February 11th, 2008, 00:37

alright...i was just wondering. i really just wanted to hear people scream when they get shot by 3 bbs going about 350 fps. woulda been awsome...now im just gonna have to get closer and make each shot count....right saint?!? hahahaha

Plenty powerful stock. At point blank, anyways.

arman · February 11th, 2008, 05:17

DO NOT UPGRADE A TM SHOTTY!!!!!!!!!!!

It takes 6 springs (a small one inside the other)and if you up them you break the trinozel fast. It try's to load 4 bbs and the 4th goes into the center the the trinozel and breaks it.

If you rack it fast it might work, but it 4 go the it WILL BREAK.

I have a super90 on the desk with that problem.

If you want a strong shotgun them guy and 870 charger, mine shoots 375 like lazer beams, you just loss the 3shot.

8skippy40 · February 12th, 2008, 04:31

haha nah im cool now...i love the shotty...it makes me feel good when they scream instead of calling hit...

I really hate to disagree with you but.... 6 springs? It is easy to make that assumption based on the tri nozzle / 3 Barrel design but it is only the 2 springs. 1 inside the other. If you want I can show you on yours. Heck I'll even fix yours for a case of Beer
