  1. As I understand it there are two ways of doing the "ghost load" modification. On the M2 bolt carrier group there are two notches on the bottom, the rear most one near the "tail" is the one that is to be altered. One method is to use a tig welder and fill in the notch; this requires skill and a welder I don't possess so I went for option two. That is to gently file/dremel the rear most edge of the rear notch. Just do a little at a time and recheck if it now allows the ghost load. I can't remember what exactly happens if you take off to much beyond it being undesirable. I have a level of mechanical/DIY ineptitude that is almost without rival so if I can do it almost anyone can.
  2. Taken under advisement. I'll put that project on the back burner. Like I said it was as much to see if it can be done as for performance increase, but I can always find projects to see if it can be done. Cheers for the input, it is much appreciated.
  3. I would say that goes without saying. If you mean do I have a reason that is worth the hassle of doing it? meh, maybe. The normal functional ones of changing the cycling speed of the action etc, but probably more importantly I would like to see if it can be successfully done here. Call it an experiment if you will; as I said I have spare parts so am willing to absorb the hit if it goes wrong, but that is not to say that I desire to invite failure due to a lack of information.
  4. Cheers thanks for the reply, it gives me somewhere to start from. I remember someone mentioning to take about 2 ounces off but that was about the limit of the information I had on the process.
  5. I was looking at getting a local engineer/gun smith to lighten my Benelli M2 bolt carrier. As I don't live in the U.S. sending it off to Triangle/Taran/AI etc isn't an option. I was wondering if anyone has done it themselves and has any tips, dimensions or pictures of a lightened bolt that I might give the gun smith to minimize risks. I do have a spare bolt carrier group in case of a catastrophic failure but it would be desirable to learn off others the correct way rather than the more expensive learn as you go path. Cheers for any help.
