  1. Well I am NOT sticking up for anyone, and some of this sounds excessive, but almost all gas "blocks" leak. It is darn hard to seal 50,000 psi!!! Clamp on blocks do pretty good. Pinned blocks a la "G.I." do alright, and set screws through the bottom leak a bit, BUT if the carbine is functioning 100% what does it matter???

  2. I use a hack saw. Take the blade loose and put it through the sight, and reassemble. This lets you use the top of the block as a guide to get a nice square cut. Then you can use a file to round off the sharp corners. Gives a nice flat, not mangled look, and you can use cold blue to turn the cut back black.

  3. I have always run my aluminum carriers ( since 1999.....yes we had J.P. aluminum carriers even back then although we did have to wrestle the dinosaurs for them) fully gassed. When they get a bit dirty, I found it really helps with reliability. Any old way, you will get a far softer gun with longer gas tubes than you ever will with an adjustable gas block.

  4. Since I really like Bocks and don't care for any of the wheat beir this will not be productive either, but you are welcome to try.

    BTW They make 4, 6, and 8 round speed tubes so it can be down right fast to load 8. Jerry can usually keep up with a mag fed shotgun, loading at the shoulder, even if the mag fed shotgun functions well. :lol:

  5. A good speed loader user doesn't drop the gun off their shoulder. I've seen a 2 second load of 6 and a 3.6 second load of 12 which seems faster than a"quad loading pro", but I try not to hang out with those. :)

    Argue away Anthony Feline! Your time is nigh!

  6. 2/4l isn't as fast as speed loaders by any strech , practice for practice.

    Speed loader chute is a bit of money, and you still have to break the sharp edges in the loading port. No one makes a dedicated chute for a 1301 so you will have to modify one for something else.

    If you decide to do the 2/4l option you will need to do a lot of port work, either yourself or have someone who understands it do it.

    What you really need to do is get in contact with Philipine shooters who shoot shotgun matches, and there are a bunch of them, and go look at some of the set ups they use and the gunsmiths available to them.

    In my opinion you are not making wise decisions based on what you want to do, and are relying on "internet info", which isn't leading you in a good direction. Take that for what is worth because you read it here in the internet, but unlike many you will interact with I have been doing this type of thing since 1990 or so.

    All 3 guns you mention are really good guns, but you are trying to mix and match stuff that simply won't be optimal for your stated use

  7. He used the word "loosing" because English ISN'T his native language. He is Finnish, as in Finland, and it seems that he is the King from the web name. So before you make fun of him, we now demand that you type up your reply in Finnish and make sure you don't miss spell any of the words. If you can do that, you can then make fun of him, but be respectful, after all he might be the King.

  8. Most of your folks on the Philippine national teams shot Benelli at the IPSC world shotgun championships, and none of them complained of their guns not running on light or moderate loads. While not true, it seems to be stuck in your head that Benelli wont run "lighter stuff", so go with the SX3. They are great guns. They run well, they seem to eat any reasonable load given them, and in your case it is at a reasonable price. The one Mike had was great and I got to shoot it a bit. Buy one with confidence!

    The Benelli "practical" is a gun I would personally stay away from. They are not legal in any division but open, and due to the way Benelli designed it, it isn't a very good open platform. BUY THE SX3!
