DSG "Shorty" Parts Kit Interest Thread!
 

Okay guys, I saw that a lot of people with DSG's were expressing interest in shortened feed tubes, and also the 8 round "Shorty" version that Dukie cooked up using spare parts.

So I talked to Dukie, and here's the deal:

For a single spare feedtube setup of any desired length, its $100 + shipping. (I do not believe this includes other parts like a shortened pump handle/arms which may or may not be required depending on how short you want to go)

It would take a bare minimum order of 10 to even start thinking about a discount.

It would also be an undisclosed amount of time before Dukie could get to making them (DRV production, real life, etc).

What I was thinking would make the most sense would be a 10 round tube system made long enough to clear the original pump handle, so that its compatible with standard 10 round loading systems and doesn't require paying for other parts like a shortened pump handle or arms. But, Dukie's not 100% sure a 10 round tube would clear the original pump handle. So I'll leave it as a poll.

Please ONLY vote if you are a DSG owner and are interested in actually purchasing these kits (and please be honest with yourself as to your ability to pay in a timely fashion).

A) Shortest length possible with stock pump handle and arms (lowest cost alternative). $100 + Shipping initial price, discount possible depending on quantity. Exact ball count: unavailable at this time

B) "Shorty" Setup for 8 rounds $100 +$$$ for other parts needed + Shipping. Exact ball count: 8

C) 10-round tube and possibly other parts necessary $100 +$$$ for additional parts + Shipping. Exact ball count: 10


I'll be linking this to Dukie so that he can correct me if I butchered this info in any way shape or form.

Im down...

I just want a shorter lower tube.

Yeah, I would prefer it to be 10 rounds, but if it's less $$ to just go with what works with the stock handle/arms, then that would be my choice as well.

10 round with shorter part options is what I would prefer.

I'm gonna have to think about this if I'm gonna have to choose. I'm in for a short version though.

If Dukie ever did a lever action version of the DSG and I bought it, I would want the 10 round version. I'll stay out of the poll though.

My vote is for option A.

From what I can tell the size is going to have to be more then 10 I'd look at the gun of someone that has a short feed and a larger fed marker.

Honestly I think the size may have to be 12. That is a good size because you then have a spring for the last two balls in your ten round tube(rather then tilting it) and an extra two balls ready to shoot.

Does anyone have a picture of a shorty with the long parts below it for comparison?

Hey Guys - I took this picture a few weeks ago and forgot to post it...

If anyone wants more specific shots of the original vs the 8 round shortened tube and pump - post here what you want and tonight I can get them done and posted here for you.

The feed would have to be redesigned before I would make a purchase, though.
