What should I get for my 203? - Page 1

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What should I get for my 203?

Posted: 10/24/2017 9:29:32 PM EDT

I need accessories, cool adapters, etc. I have a leaf sight, 20ga adapter, one of the Pace cannon shells, and some chalk. Any thoughts?

I'm assuming you have a standard GI receiver...
KAC QD adapter (not the old one with the wire retainer)
Fab Defense FD-203 standalone stock (If you want a standalone stock, it's the best value.)
9 and 12 inch barrels (for your retro configuration needs)
12 ga. adapter(s)
PSQ-18A (if you have NODs and wish to shoot in the dark)

I should be picking up my m203 this weekend. This thread is telavent to my needs.

What about the beehive/ Hornets nest.22. Worth the money for fun at the range?

Get the Pace 12ga adapter. It accommodates 3.5in shells and is top quality.

The beehive 22 rounds are fun but expensive. They likely won't be made again though. So if you think you want one, snap it up.

I see auto weapons has a beehive in stock. It’s the red anodized version with rifled barrels. Is that the better model? I’ve seen pictures of the other 19 shot one. Anybody have firsthand experience with either of these?

I got mine from UN Ammo Co and it had about a 10in pattern at 10yds.

I mostly just shoot chalk rounds out of mine. The 12 gauge adapter is pretty fun also. The Beehive adapter is expensive and takes a while to load, but it's still neat. I wish we could get exploding rounds, but oh well...

I can’t find much besides the 12 and 20 gauge adapters online. Seems a lot of companies making them in the past aren’t around anymore. Anybody have some contac info or places where I can more accessories? Really want a 37mm adapter for fun do these even exist?. There is .410 adapter on gunbroker from Destiny which I have read has been a good adapter maker for some time . I will probably get a beehive too. I assume the DD community is small so hopefully I can see some contacts.

Scot Pace makes great stuff.

Thanks. For those in the know, are 12 gauge adapters hard on the m203? I assume they would have less recoil than actual 40mm grenades but was curious but I remember some post a long time ago saying they would recommend staying with .410 adapters mostly due to recoil forces of 12 guage.

I ordered a cannon shell kit.

12ga adapter next month I think. Already have a 20ga adapter which will do most of what I want.

Get the tri-barrel Cannon round. You'll thank me later. Best round I tested for my Impact magazine article. Also get a copy of the article, its available online now.

Which is better the base that uses the 45 vase of the other?

The 45 base is handy and performance identical. For reloading in the field, the other base is better but I like the 45 for simplicity sake.
