  1. Consider this, on a microscopic level when you polish a surface you are removing material from highspots and making them more level wiht the lowspots. The more level the surface the less light difuses, thus its more mirror like reflection. If all contact surfaces were perfectly smooth (flat) there would be more surface area making contact (more friction), and less space for oil to sit. If your recoil spring is fine your problem may be the polishing job. Use a red scotch brite pad (~360 grit, or a scotch brite pad with finer grit, green or light grey) to evenly put a crosshatch pattern over the contact surfaces. The crosshatch pattern is simply perpendicular lines ---> ######## This will give the oil a place to sit and lessen the amount of surface area. Dont rough it up too much because you still want high spots to be level with other high spots.
  2. Have you been able to confirm that the adjustable stock shims will fit the sportsman stock? I am also considering picking up a VM sportsman, I don't plan on running an optic so the different combs don't matter to me as much as the adjustable shims do.
  3. I think the FN barrels are also imported. Anybody got a FN 24" VR for their SLP and can check? Practically every part on the SLP is manufactured outside of the US. So since assembling the imported parts in America makes the SLP American made I wonder if I could just swap trigger groups with an SLP.
  4. Its my understanding that the law really isn't enforced by itself, more of a tacked on charge to another crime. So my concern is that since its currently my HD shotgun if I am ever forced to use it and it is subsequently examined by the police it would be found to be in violation of this stupid law. I could potentially skirt the misdemeanor/felony of 'assembling' it by having a gunsmith install the exteded tube, but until I make it 922r compliant it would be contraband and I would never get it back from the police (assuming I wasn't guilty of murder of course). Also I realize it would be cheaper to buy a dedicated pump HD shotgun than replace the trigger group (with an SLP trigger group, if that is even an option) but I still would prefer the peace of mind knowing the extended tube on my SX3 was legal.
  5. I do not believe this is true, Why would 922r not apply in the same way to these hooked up 3 gun shottys as it does to imported AKs/Saiga12s in their imported 'sporting configuration'. With those you have to do a 'conversion' to use a higher capacity magazine. Granted most of the required american made parts come from moving the trigger group foward but you never the less have to deal with the imported parts count BS.
  6. Yes it is a Winchester. Heres a quote from Winchesers website "Both the Super X2 and the newer Super X3 are made at our partner factory in Belgium, with additional assembly work done in our Portugal plant.". The FN SLP is assembled in South Carolina, thus making the 'American made' and allowing for their factory mag tubes to hold over 5 rounds and be sold @ your LGS. Basically with an imported shotgun like a SX3/Benelli/etc. as soon as you add a mag extension without replacing enough imported parts you violate 922r which is either a Misdemeanor or Felony (not sure but I dont want either). Posession of a weapon thats in violation of 922r is NOT illegal, but the gun is contraband. Read up on 922r here: http://home.comcast.net/~navy87guy/home/922r.html
  7. Hello everyone, I own a SX3 Compact 26" which I really want to add a Nordic mag extension to. Since these are imported shotguns I was wondering what everyone is modifying to make them 922r compliant (Legal). I am unsure of the number of imported parts the BAFT considers the SX3 to have. I have been meaning to write the BAFT a letter about this but havent gotten around to it yet. My guess on imported parts is: 16 Imported Parts 27 C.F.R. 478.89 lists 20 parts: (1) Frames, receivers, receiver castings, forgings or stampings (2) Barrels (3) Barrel extensions (4) Mounting blocks (trunions) (5) Muzzle attachments (6) Bolts (7) Bolt carriers (8) Operating rods (9) Gas pistons (10) Trigger housings (11) Triggers (12) Hammers (13) Sears (14) Disconnectors (15) Butt stocks (16) Pistol grips (17) Forearms, hand guards (18) Magazine bodies (19) Followers (20) Floorplates Since the magic number of imported parts is 10, I need to change out 6 parts? I know Nordic makes a magazine follower, so thats one American made part to swap out. A Briely extended choke covers the 'Muzzel attachment'. Adding a mag extension does not remove the imported stock mag tube... so I still need 4 other parts to swap. It is my understanding that the FN SLP is assembled in America, thus 'American Made' (not imported), but I believe most of the parts are made in the same place as my SX3 (overseas). Are there any SLP or SX2 Practical parts I could I swap out like the trigger group (4 parts)? I have searched long and hard for answers but I have had no luck with advice about what I should do to keep things legal, any help would be greatly appreciated!
