If Beven does not file the pad the only other place to file is probably the feed lips at the top. This obviously depends how much needs to be filed off. Can you point me to Bevens thread where he discusses this.

Hi Jim, Firstly thank you for sharing your knowledge even though you are not gaining anything out of it. I have been looking for a DIY solution to tec loaders over the last few days and could not find it. Maybe I am not using the search function properly. Can you please dierct me to the post you made and perhaps any other tips you might have. Thanks

Oh sure, now everbody will have one Here's a couple of quickie photos, I think you'll get the idea. You do have to experiment with the slot sizes, amount of tension on the screws in the tray and the length of the end of the tube so it doesn't hit the EZ loader gate when the gun recoils. To do it right you also have to dissamble your trigger group to drill and tap it so you can screw the tray to it. That may be the easy part, remembering how to re-assemble it is the tough one Thanks for the pics , and you dont have to worry about seeing it on my gun. I am in South Africa

How do you stage the 2 shells? 1 shell in the chamber and the other 1 goes where ??? Sorry I am bit new to shotguns

I think I am more confused now Is it possible to take some pics when you have free time?

Any tips on how to make it? Do you have some close up pics of the ramp?

Thats sad to hear. Thanks for the info though

thanks for the reply. DO you know if there are any pistol grip stocks available for Franchis? A website I can visit?

I just purchased a franchi semi auto shotgun. Does any one have experience if parts such as the arredondo speedloader assist will work on it. The website says its only works for benelli and remington shotguns. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I will send it off to them instead....

Yesterday, while shooting one of the stages at our local league, the switch on my click-switch cmore snapped off I was thinking of repairing it myself by either replacing the part if it is available in South Africa or by removing that switch completely and adding an on/off toggle switch. The toggle switch might not be a good idea but my thoughts are too move the 'broken' cmore to my shotgun and replacing it with my spare cmore I have lieing around. ANy thoughts on this? My last option is to send it to cmore for repairs but with shipping etc I am really not in the mood of going through all of that red tape

Hi, does anyone here know where I can purchase the above machines for making heads. If you know of any links on the internet that will be able help me, please post them here. Thanks

Thanks for the replies so far. I will try the suggestions and let you know what happens. Out of interest sake, I noticed that there is a hair line crack in my firing pin stop. Will this make a difference at all??? Regards

I have been having a problem with my STI open gun for the last 3-4 matches . In every stage I shoot the shell seems to get stuck on its way out of the chamber. Last night I was at an indoor range, and decided to unload the gun. This is what happened. Now the same thing happens with an empty shell and it is driving me insane .I have read through the other forum posts but cannot seem to find a solution for it. I have tried the following: 1. Cleaning the gun 2. New mag springs 3. Because I have a thumbplate on the safety, I removed it because I thought it could be short stroking it 4. Examined the ejector for any breakages 5. Examined the extractor as well. (It is an Aftec by the way) 6. I have also checked for cracks on the slide and frame but nothing Is there anything else I can do? Thanks

I have noticed that STI have replacement mags for para ordnance. What are the differences in these mags? I know that the tapering on the Para mag is much higher. Is this the same on the STI replacement, or is the tapering lower down like on the STI mags for STI guns? WIll this tapering have an effect on my round capacity if I buy the STI mag for Para? Thanks

MC, No problem. I have started using it as well and well like I said it does get consistant grips for me. Only problem is that my index finger now has hard skin due to the skateboard tape that I use.... Dont think my wife is too happy with that Cheers

Its basicly used for the pinch and roll technique Matt teaches on his DVDs. The weak hand index finger is positioned under the trigger guard for consistant grips... Hope that made sense...

Nolan, I will try searching for the thread, but if you do come across it please let me know. Skywalker, I have checked the diameter of the disconnector, but will recheck it. Thanx to everyone for the input thus far... Cheers

I installed the tri glide in my STI last night. Did not find it too difficult but I noticed two things that i would like an opinion on. 1. When the slide is racked (Without ammo) the gun works fine. However when it is racked and left to go down slowly (I know it will never happen when shooting the gun) it hangs just a tad at the disconnector. This I assume is because there is too much of tension on the leaf spring. Question is should I adjust the tension on the leaf spring or leave it as is. 2. Is there anyway to make the trigger lighter by adjusting the leaf spring. The trigger is crisp but seems a little heavy compared to what it was prior to installing the tri-glide... Thanx M

Thanx for reponse guys, but if you find out anything new please let me know. I am not ina very big hurry to order them right now. Like you said Steve armscor is cheap and the other reason i am considering buying it is that I am in South Africa, and I still have not come across a company in USA that will ship starline abroad... If you know of a company please holla.. Cheers

Hi Guys, My gun is currently set up to use 38 supercomp brass from starline. I need to get some new brass and I would like to change to armscor rimless. The rimless brass I assume is the same as the supercomp from starline, please correct me if I am wrong . Secondly, would I need to change anything on the gun (I was thinking I might have to retune the extractor again) . I am using an aftec, which has about 2000 rounds through it .... And thirdly are there any problems with the armscor brass that I need to know about or are they just as good as the starline brass . Thanx M

I know the Arredondo makes a pretty good shield, but everyone I know that uses it says that they do not see a difference, does any one know if Limcats glare shield makes any differnence.... Thanx

Does anyone know what are the various weights of the magwells around. I have an STI that I recently bought and althouh it does have a magwell it feels very heavy, does anyone have the various weights... Thanx

MC, I didnt think it would change but then again I do not have a chrono so I just could not test and make sure. I suppose before a national I would have to double check just in case... But I didnt think it would change... Hope I made sense, Regards
