Thanks Pat and bowhaz.

Great thread, but where are you guys buying a 24" black one from? I've spoken with Stoeger on several occasions and they keep saying the first of that configuration will hit the US around 1 Dec.

GunScrubber is basically watered down brake parts cleaner. While it won't affect the actual carbon fiber at all, it will affect the resins and coatings in and on the tubing. A little on a cloth won't hurt it, a tad of overspray if wiped off quickly won't hurt it. A soaking will damage the coating and if done enough, could end up with some mild delamination if you get through the outer gel coat. If it remains "shiney" you probably have not hurt anything.
Thanks for the thorough info, I appreciate it.

Just put a new upper together and went with an AP Custom carbon fiber handguard to save weight, and it's very nice. Anyways, I've been using a lot of Gun Scrubber to clean guns recently and wondered if anyone knows if it's safe to use near carbon fiber? I tried calling AP today but their # didn't work, and an e-mail got bounced back to me.

Would the 3500 be the new model?
No, the 3500 is the longer action for 3.5" shells.

Nghthwk 1911and Bill Schwab, were your FTF's like what I described or were they failure to go into battery?
To Bill Schwab, I lived in Lusby in the 80's while working at Calvert Cliffs. Rented a house at the Ranch Club for awhile and used that range quite a bit. Small world!
No, my FTF's were not like that at all. Every FTF I've had with this gun (approx 7k rounds through it now) have been where the round dips down in the mag and impacts too low on the feed ramp.
Small world indeed! I live in the Ranch Club, unfortunately the CRE range was closed down many years ago so I have to shoot at Sanner's Lake in St. Mary;s Cnty.
-
I get failures to feed when my recoil spring and/or mag springs start to get weak. My M&P seems very fussy about spring strength.
-
Bill,
did you need to do anything to the actual mag well of the gun, I got the SSS aluminum and was just messing around with it on the 9mm, and the mags would not drop of the gun. is there some "Tuning" that needs to be done?
I had a tough time getting the magwell on because it was a tight fit, but no, I did not do any tuning. All I've used are Taran basepads.
-
I have been shooting a 5" Pro in Limited this year with a SSS aluminum (ESP) magwell and I love it. I have always preferred a lighter gun though, so the aluminum was a nature choice for me.

Hi all-
hate to resurrect an older thread, but have some fresh info to add. It appears that there was a running change in production on the mag-tube threads. The current m3000 threads are a metric thread with a different pitch than the Supernova. I bought a Nordic modular mag tube, and I ended up re cutting the threads in the removeable adapter nut to fit the stoeger. Luckily, it is slightly larger, so even with the recut threads there is plenty of metal for a good joint after re-threading. An easy enough lathe job for any competent gunsmith. I have been using it to compete in open class all summer with a 13 shot extension, which allows 15 total with the ghost load. ZERO malfunctions since the day I bought it. I am impressed so far. I am working with arredondo in an attempt to get a speed loader bracket that is not drilled for the cross pin so I can adapt it to this platform. It does not appear to be a drop in fit for any of the Benelli models. If I can proto a speedloader funnel that works for this shotgun I will probably make several. As far as I am concerned, this shotgun is the best-kept secret on the market in the bang-for-buck category. I bought it as an inexpensive backup, and it has become my primary shotgun on any match I can shoot without needing speedloader tubes.
Awesome info, I appreciate you keeping us updated. I intend on buying the black 24" model for 3-Gun when they're available. So I'm guessing you're saying the new metric thread pattern on the M3000's is not a match for any other extension tube thread pattern offered by Nordic, correct?

Try out Triple Crown holsters he is a fellow shooter, and his work it top notch! He can make it any way you want, offset, or with any belt system you want, Etc.
I tried him. Going back and forth on e-mail now. I want as many manufcaturer options as possible to make a good decision.
-
If anyone else has advice for kydex holsters for Caspian hi-cap I'd appreciate it.

Sanner's is hosting the Maryland state match the weekend of Veteran's Day weekend.

I'm running a 5" M&P Pro 40 in Limited with Taran Tactican basepads. Some of my TT basepads came with 11 coil magazine springs that hook into the bottom of the follower, and my other TT basepads came with 10 coil springs that do not hook on to the follower. I want to replace my 10 coil springs with the 11 coil springs. Can anyone identify the manufacturer of the 11 coil mag spring?
ismi is the guy for all things longer
bought 50 extended m&ps when i went to arrendo's
aredondo said the stand spring worked. no it didnt
ismi ran 50 for me (min order)
never had 1 mal/f with a/d and ismi combo
flawless in over 3 yrs.
leave em loaded for months on web gear when working load 22 instead of 23 to be safe
we carry +p+ speer 124.
hope this helps

Very helpful, thanks.

Thanks Jesse, that's kinda how it is for me too. I was watching something by Larry Vickers and he was saying to pull the rifle back, so it got me thinking.
-
When shooting rifle & shotgun, do you pull the gun back towards the shoulder via your support hand on the forearm? Or instead do you use the support hand only to drive the gun as you transition to the next target?

Raising a thread from the past...
Great ideas here. I'm struggling with a cluttered safe and am exploring options. Already have all ammo and mags in separate JobSite boxes, which I really love. Any more testimonies on the UniqueTek rifle rods?

It looks like it's the Costa Ludas mag release
Then don't be first in line to buy it... The last version was junk.
Yup, it's a Costa Ludus. Lotsa problems with them before, but they haven't been selling them for awhile due to a redesign, so I'm hoping these work. I ordered one, and plan to order a Speed Shooters Specialities one as well (when available) to compare.

Wow, very intriguing thread. I'm looking for an entry level 3-gun shotgun and am considering a Stoeger 3000. Other than the extension tube, what needs to be done? Welded lifter?
I am probably gonna have the loading port opened up but that will be the extent of my mods (with the extension of course). Not sure if this is the same on all the 3000's, but I can ghost load mine. I have not had it modded for that feature.
Thanks Scoop. I've done massive research and I'm 99% sure I'm going with a 24" M3000 once they are back in stock everywhere, looking forward to messing around with it.

Resurrecting an old thread...does anyone know of an extended mag release in works? If not I'm going the screw route. Thanks.

Only have 100 rounds through mine so far, but has been reliable and the trigger has smoothed out considerably (used lots of Chip McCormick trigger grease), but dang that trigger is HEAVY! My trigger pull gauge only goes to 10#, and this pull is beyond that. Neat gun, that swings incredibly fast on close-in targets, but more of a fun gun than a competition gun.
Bill, or anybody else who owns one, I'm curious what you've seen from it as far as accuracy goes. Seems like a great design that keeps us lefties in mind, but when American Rifleman tested it, the accuracy results weren't impressive. Might have been due to the heavy trigger?
jk: I come from a rifle background, so accuracy is important to me too. The only optics I've had on it so far is an Aimpoint T1, and I've been shooting IMI 62 gr ball ammo, so I'm not really set up for groups yet, but last weekend I put three shots in a row in the x-ring at 100, so I feel like it's accurate but that trigger makes seeing the accuracy very difficult. The people on bullpupforum.com are saying it likes Sierra 77's and a few have claimed 1" 100 yard groups.
I love 77's too, ha! I'm not in the market for a new rifle, but if it's grouping like that with 77's (that's what I'm running in my AR) and the trigger pull could be fixed, then I'd definitely put that on the fantasy Christmas list along with a 1x-? variable. Which brings up another question-- does it have enough rail space on the front to put a good optic on it that wouldn't look completely dorky?
There's a spare trigger reset spring which some people are simply disconnecting which drops the trigger pull to 7-8 lbs. Apparently the Israelis added the extra spring due to trigger reset issues in very dusty ops. Also a few people have had trigger jobs done, so hope is there. The trigger pack is a modular package and there's a few people hitting up Geissele, Timney, etc to see if they'll make a "match" trigger pack.
Lotsa pics on bullpupforum with variable low power optics, and there's a Canadian guy on YouTube who runs low power scopes a lot, here's one of his vids:
Plenty of space for a scope and I don't think it looks stupid, but I went with a T1 due to weight.

No rethreading of the tube for the Nordic extension?
