Flash light for the M3?

[Jedigreedo]

After running numerous searches and coming up with nothing, I decided to post. Does anyone know if there is a flashlight attachment for the M3 shotgun? If things go well as I try to enter Airsoft, after pistols I would like to get into shotguns and so I've been checking stuff out. The shotgun I'm wanting is the M3 mainly since I've taken a smitten to it from Counter Strike. :D In CS theres a flashlight on the bottom of the cocking piece, anybody know if this exists for Airsoft?

*G&P Universal Barrel Mount (For Flash Light)
*Mosquito Molds RIS for M3 Super 90

If you've got 94 dollars laying around, go for the Mosquito Mold. It attatches to the cocking handle and has three different rails for just about anything you could want to possibly attach to that SOB. I always thought it'd be funny as hell to install a Mosquito Mold on an M3 then attach an ithica w/ RIS adaptor.

Now if you're broke and your pockets contain nothing more than a couple balls of lint and some moths, then the G&P Mount will get you through the day for under 20 dollars. It's basically two rings: one attaches to the barrel while the other accommodates the flashlight.

There's another type of flashlight mount that you can get directly from Benelli, but a.) it costs $125 for the mount and flashlight... and b.) it's hard as hell to come by.

Cool, I'm not looking to buy it right now, just checking out possible choices so prices aren't that big of a deal right now. I'll check those out, thanks. :cool:

Ken,
yeah, that's the extra shell storage compartment. Accommodates two extra shells in there, but it's a real pain the *** to get that little cap off while you're just toying around with the gun... I couldn't even imagine trying to actually use that for shell storage in actual skirmishes.

Agent,
unfortunately the M3 you fired had already undergone the infamous "benelli jam" and the hop-up lip inside the gun was all cadywampus - so the effective range of that thing is like 35-45ft the day you fired it. Before though it packed one hell of a punch. Which reminds me I have to play operation with the benelli sometime next week to try and realign it's guts and get it firing right again.

I'm suprised they couldn't make it where it cocks the next round from there. Sounds like the compartment is very inconvient, if I get the gun and go to skirmishes, I'd use a cheekpad on the stock with shell holders. I noticed a very good one at Redwolf, or theres a good sling with a shell holders.

The flashlight in the compartment barrel sounds promising, but is it very secure? I'm thinking just a universal mount on the compartment barrel for a flashlight would likely do well.
