Barry. Ive been using the same 1301 factory IC for almost a year an a half. I shoot Atlanta 3gun, the Remington Versa Max shotgun challenge and my local CSRA 3 gun matches in Augusta Georgia. They are mostly all bay style high speed but Atlanta has one longer jungle run. The only time I ever thought I needed more choke was on a defective star.

last week I shot two 3 gun matches with my new 1301. after about 400 rounds so far I have not had a single issue. Last Sunday I shot the Noveske Atlanta 3gun match in the poring down rain and got mud all over it to. I was very, very, very, happy with the 1301 and I know that I finished 6th overall because of it running so smooth and fast. Now I have to work on me being smooth and faster.

Here is my old 1100 I built like a Tac4 style. The stock is the Remington Shur-Shot stock. First came out on turkey guns but now you can get them in black. I put a nice thick soft Limb saver recoil pad on it. Shoots really nice and kicks a lot less then my new 1301 Beretta. Just to slow and not 100% reliable.

I'm thinking about adding a rear sight to my new shotgun for slugs. I have seen a pistol style (Express) sight milled into the rib. Are there any other sights people use or just the Express and which one is it? Is it the glock dovetail or is there a smaller one I need to use? Is there a better rear sight for 3gun? I saw Patrick Kelly's picture on the old thread where he modified it with a small slot because he didn't like the v style.

Started mine today and still need to find a shelf or something to hold up a range bag, tool box or ammo can..... headed to wally world now to find something. So far I have about $80 in it.

been trying to find some myself for months now to no avail. Just asked some local reloaders if somebody could make me up some.

well after shooting my 3rd 3-gun match but 1st match with the "Load2" method I realized that any window would only have been seen at pre-staging. Im loading with the butt stock on my shoulder so I couldn't see the location marks I made with a pencil before the match. I really don't think a window will work like I think I want it to. At times I felt like I was really loading fast but I did have a couple of hang ups and I did try to load an extra set one time. However, I was better then before and with some more practice I think I can really speed up.

Well this was my 3rd 3gun match and I think I have gotten a lot better since the first one. Thanks to Dewey and Mark for giving me pointers along the way. I really appreciate it and also would like to thank BullitMcQueen for video taping for me, nice meeting you. I'm hooked on this 3gun stuff so now I have to figure out how to pay for playing the game!

first off Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Ok, I was wondering if anybody added a window to their extended mag tubes for indicating when it was full? Awhile back when I was searching the net for custom Rem 1100 shotguns for 3gun......(hey I know theres a lot better guns, but its what I got, so I have to use it for now) I came across an 1100 on gunbroker or something that had a window cut into the mage tube extention. Since I have just started 3gun (3rd match this Saturday coming) and I have also just started the "Load2" method with a Mark Otto rig, the but stock will be on my shoulder and gun almost upside down. Im thinking the window could come in handy. Or do I think to much?

Scott, the scores are all on CSRApistol.com here http://www.csrapistol.com/match_results.htm Pinetucky has nobody to run their website and yes, its old. We shoot USPSA and IDPA every month and 3 gun four times a year plus ICORE and other matches. We also shoot some of the IDPA at Shooters Indoor range in Augusta.

I'll make sure I tell Mike Nyland, I think they had a meeting last weekend after the USPSA match for scheduling matches for next 2014. And don't forget that starting in January, a new club, Atlanta 3gun will be holding a monthly 3gun Nation club match at South River on the third Sunday of every month I believe. I'm new to 3gun and this will be my third match, all at Pinetucky. I'm hoping to step up and start traveling to other clubs when I can. I have a varsity high school junior softball player that plays travel ball also.... so I have no time hardly.

My apologies to yall, I really wasn't thinking when I commented on the old post. I was going to delete it but don't see a delete button no where..... But.... Theres another 3gun at Pinetucky this weekend...... Im just saying cause I was just practicing my load 2's

http://www.uspsa.org/classifiers/Part8_13-01_13-09.pdf Heres the new ones, 13-01 through-09. But why have two Disaster Factors?

I shot this at our club match any idea what % a HF of 6.7616 is??? Im trying to get classified in L10. This my thirdmatch in L10. first two were, 35.4891% and 68.5695%. I had a screw up on the first one but I hoping for "B" when I shoot a few more to get classed.

I found that stage builder at gunracer.com not really 3gun friendly but it will work I guess.

I got a Cannon T3i in August just in time for my daughter high school softball season to start. Its great and it takes video, which helps me from having to use two different cameras at ball games. I have taken over 1000 pics and probly about 250 videos. I got the 55-250 lens with it and the regular lens in the kit. But I got mine through Dell so I paid a few bucks extra. I also got the add on grip/battery pack and an extra battery now also. 18 megapixels is probly good enough nowadays but I haven't noticed anything looking at pictures on the computer. Havent had a chance to print a lot yet and nothing bigger then 4x6's. We are going to enlarge some pictures and make some of those wall cling/fathead pictures that are like life size to put on her walls. My daughter has been using it on Friday nights at the football games taking pictures for the high school yearbook.

Good information. One other thing I've been wondering is the effect of these slide mounted red dot optics.

well since the "Spam" word is being used........... If anybody is interested, their is a new professional grade universal sight tool just coming out. They also posted a video on youtube about it. Since I don't want to spam any body, I'll just say that if your in the sight installing business or if you own a several different pistols, like I do, I can appreciate a good solid tool made for the business.

I have one of Mark Otto's rigs on order. The new batch is in production and should be shipped this week according to Mark. I cant wait to get practicing and ready for the next match. Sdhunterman, do you have any pics or video of your setup in action?

I made one today out of 1inch delrin drilled out on the lathe and then milled a 5/8 slot down it and took it over to the belt sander to sand it down and shaped it. Looks good but now I don't want to drill a hole in my forend stock.....might try it and see.

I found some pics on the internet. But not of anybody funneling the loading port. Im wondering how far one can go around the mag tube area. I cut my Ezloader last night with a dremel cut off wheel and polished the legs up nice. Im just a little nervous about removing metal on the receiver.......

bumping this up

I installed an EZ Loader feed ramp on my 1100 and I saw somebody on here say something about shorting the ramp legs back about a 1/2" and rounding them off. Has anybody done this and have pictures? has anybody beveled or ramped the bottom of the receiver into the mage tube? and around the bottom of the opening? if so do you have pictures? This gun is only being used for 3gun....

Can you post any pictures of the modifications? After Installing the Dave's Metal works ezloader, I was trying to "Load2" with dummies. Now I see what he was talking about on the shorting the DMW ramp. My thumb is getting caught if I don't keep some knuckle pressure pushing down on the ramp as I pull out. I'm also getting caught going in on the rim face of the tube. All you guys beveling or funneling the receiver going into the mag tube?

Where do you guys wear your load2 style rigs? I'm getting one of Mark Otto's but I'm not to sure on the wearing it up high or low, right side or left side...... Any recommendations? I'm thinking of trying out the butt stock on shoulder and strong hand (right) loading. So the rig will need to be on the right in front of pistol. But not sure on high or low..... gonna go grab the shotty to throw it up and see what feels right...
