Careful going too light on the disconnect spring, and if you go with a light hammer spring you might want to lighten your hammer, or get a lighter hammer in case you don't already have one. The disconnect spring really has nothing to do with trigger pull weight.

But, but, it has a redesigned bolt release, AND it gotst a scallop cut out of the trigger guard!!! It's got to be 3-gun ready..... After you send it to Benny, Taran, or Rose!
And it's only way over priced!

That is absolutely correct!
-
That is sound advice.

But, but, I was not in the war

Niiiiceee! Glad this helped out!

For Modified, sure... It fits in the box.
For standard you are rounds limited at the start and loading the carrier on the clock would be a huge time waste. I don't see any advantage having the mod for standard.
But more to your question, yes it would be legal in both divisions.

I thought Miller was a fairly common American name.

Who is putting it on? Oh, never mind I found it. Thanks Curtis!

I really don't remember if the Remington has a pin through the tube holding the nut or not. If not try heating it with a torch. Benelli's use a thread locking compound on the nut, I just don't remember if Remington does, but heat won't hurt anything and might help.

The diameter of the grove the "snap ring" fits in is the size you need. There are snap rings which look like round rings with a section cut away. C clips that are more like a washer with a section cut away. And E clips which are basically a C clip with a tab added in the middle of the C to help center the clip. From the picture it looks to me like they are C clips, but that isn't a good picture. I would take the parts the clips go into with me to Ace and have them help you out. Note.... Don't take the gun, just the parts that need the clips.
-
I would measure what size you need and head down to ace hardware. They have a huge selection of c and e clips.

Good deduction Tony! I think your on to something there.
Dr. Mitch, I would agree somewhat but this phenomenon started way before heavy ammo became cheaper to find. I also think you need to shoot a dot gun this weekend and leave limited to the guys who haven't shot in a while

Oh now that's just crazy talk! Everyone knows that if you have iron sights you can only hit targets at 38.3 yards and closer. Anything farther away is just wasting lead! I mean come on man you can't even see a spinner at 100 yards without your LPVO set as high as it can go. Heck even with 4X magnification you might not be able to see it at all.

"If you ever had to hit a swinger @ 100 yards and needed to make it spin"
After over 28 years 3-gunning, do you really think I have never had that challenge? Do you really think I was unsuccessful? Let's. Look at a 69 grain bullets. It weighs 14 grains more than a 55.... The amount of one piece of #6 shot. Do you really think that is significant? 77, obviously 22 grains heavier, the weight of one piece of #4 shot. I will grant you it is a tiny advantage, but what makes you think a 55 grain bullets wouldn't spin the spinner?
-
Honest question here, if your heavies hit a target at let's say 500 yards and it indicates by rocking/flashing and my light bullet hits the target and it indicates by rocking/flashing at the same range how is the performance much better?
Now in Pat's case I understand the need for heavy bullets as you are much closer to the North Pole, but why the thinking of the meer presence of 55 grail bullets in a magazine means you will zero stages and not be able to hit targets past 50 yards or so?
-
Why is it that shooters back East almost all think you need a 75-77 grain bullet minimum for anything past 50 yards?
This comes up many times when folks find out I shoot 55 grain bullets for ever target and range. It usually goes by area. I have noticed many shooters East of say Kansas think that past 50 yards or so you need heavy bullets. I have been told by shooters back East that my 55 grain bullets won't make a flash target work at 300 yards. I've been told that at 600 yards a 55 grain bullets is basically falling vertically down and would make "pencil marks" on a paper target. I have been told that I was going to zero stages that were MGM flash targets out to 350 because my bullets were too light for the wind and it wouldn't flash the targets.
Around Kansas or so and the rest of the way west you will find all sorts of good shooters using 55 grain bullets for every target and distance. That's all most the guys I shoot with are using. So why back East do you need heavies? Is it something in the earths rotation? Heavy geo-magnetisim? I'm really curious! I'm not anti heavies, and if the answer is they are the most accurate out of my rifle, great! But why do people think a light bullet out of mine wouldn't be??
-
Wow after all these years! I would point out it was VERY accurate, it just took you and 3 specialists to get the round out of the rifle. A manly man would have mortared that J.P. so hard that the muzzle brake would have come out the chamber too. No Army guys needed
-
Well...... Even I can take a shell and rake it across the points where it would hit IF it were to function to make you think it functioned!
Once got a high end rifle, with test target (man that was one accurate test target) except for one problem, the damn thing had never been finished reamed. It wouldn't chamber a single cartridge. To the tune of 50 thousandths short!
-
If you replace it, make sure you use a "continuous roll" roll pin (think of a roll pin that looks like a piece of paper rolled up)
Most new Benelli pins are of this design because we found out early on a regular roll pin can break. Try a new pin, if that doesn't work try just a tiny bit of red lock-tite on the very end of the pin as you install it, but just a tiny bit.
-
Well all this manly talk of where we zero with all these yardages thrown in are way over my head...... I usually zero the stages, but I know where my rifle hits
I am the outlier here and run a 300 yard zero because it makes the most sense for irons. Remember, "there is magic in optical sights that I don't understand.... therefore they are evil" to quote myself
-
Why would you recommend a match saver?
-
Positional shooting? What does that mean, and why would it make any difference in your zero? Is a USPSA zero different than a positional zero?
-
What if my shotgun doesn't hold 12?
What if I don't have a match saver? Do I still need 13?
How often you replacing front site fiber filament?
