Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I run my spring at 6 inches past the top of the tube. Brownels has the springs I like. The wire diameter is smaller and is softer than the Nordic. You have too much spring pressure on a fully loaded tube to release the first shell. Buy a few new springs, they are cheap. Experiment with various lengths till the gun will eject the first and the last shell.
  2. I have the same cart. Yes take the canopy off. It just gets in the way. If it rains a golf umbrella covers it completely. I also took off the guard on the front wheel and anchored a plastic Ammo box there. I used eye bolts on each side of the box then attached turn buckles to the frame. Set the box in place and connect the hooks of the turn buckle to the eye bolts. Tighten them and I'm good to go. All my Ammo and mags go in the box and you range bag goes in the seat. And yes turn them guns muzzle down. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Tac shotgun is all about counting and planning. When the last shot is fired and it's time to unload and show clear, you should have only a couple rounds left in the gun. If you have more than that you wasted precious time loading when you didn't need to. Just have fun and tame the fickle bitch that is the shotgun. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. Count your rounds, you don't want to run the gun dry. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. You would have to try very hard to beat taccom. Price and quality not to mention fast delivery.
  6. Use the original JB Weld. It takes the longest to dry. Didn't thin it down at all. I found grit at a local hobby shop. It's coarse grit for rock polishing. It is 80 grit silicone carbide. About $12.00 for a pound. You could do a lot of grip jobs with a pound.
  7. I used blue painters tape. I agree with Loganbill about removing the tape before the JB Weld is fully cured. I did a pmag and let it sit for a couple days and the tape was a bitch to remove. Next time I'm going to try that green Frog tape. It seems a bit thicker. Yes I did press the edges down tight.
  8. No, I don't think it would add any strength to the grip. Although I have yet to actually fire the gun. The layer of JB Weld is pretty thin. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. Yes I did it all in one shot. I spread the epoxy with a brush so it was pretty thin. Then sprinkled the grit on. Didn't press on the grit because another poster stated that it could cause the epoxy to ooze out over the grit. Let it dry for 24 hours and took the tape off. Then brushed it with a soft tooth brush. Surprisingly not much of the grit came off. I did practice on a pmag first to see how things worked. I man handled that pmag after it was dry and I don't see this stuff coming off ever. As to adding thickness, remember you grind off the original grip texture so I didn't notice any added girth to the grip. I'm going to shoot this gun Saturday at a match so we will see just how it feels. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. My first attempt, 80 grit silicone carbide with JB Weld. Pretty happy with how it came out. Nice and grippy. I'll be shooting it this weekend so we will see how it goes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Ok, I've been looking at a few different forums since I read yours. I'm thinking of doing this. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. Does that come as a sheet? Cut out as needed. Really, JB Weld ? Never would have thought of that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. I opened mine up quite a bit. To the point that a 1/4 inch or so of the follower was exposed. Also I quad load weak hand so the side opposite the bolt release I lowered it way down. Never was effected by the trigger guard. In fact the trigger guard would be of the same orientation with the port opened or not. I did weld the lifter as well. I know it can be a daunting task taking a dremmel to a nice working shotgun. The reward will be worth it. Sorry I don't have any pics but there are plenty out there if you look.
  14. Got mine today. Put them on my Nova and JM 930. They fit great and look good. I'll get a pic later for you guys. Super fast shipping. Tim is really out front on the shotgun stuff. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
