Lots of work, why not go for shinny? I think it looks ba dass with a shine on........

Think I got it fixed, a little dremmel work at the top of the barrel and all is smooth

Yep, I need to do that to mine (throat the barrel). I did my own lifter and it has caught a few times at the top of the barrel. I also slightly grooved the lifter in the center to help center the shell. So.......... Thinking that's kept me from having any issue at the extractor cut. So? Do you just knock down the ridges when you throat it?

OK, Lets see if this works. Had to do this through the wifes yahoo account. https://www.flickr.com/photos/122150429@N03/13588584924/in/photostream/ This is pics of the mods to the versamax I performed last saturday. From field testing, the longer lifter causes the round to want to jam a the top ridge of the barrel Going to send it to C-Rums to have it throated I have a few other pics of the back side of the lifter I want to up load as well since I ground a little out of the center to help keep the round centered. Also, performed both mods to the feed latch and had to give it a little tweek, but after that, no problems. Ready for the POLO 3 gun on Sunday!! Lets have some fun!

Thank you to everyone on this post and a few others, I pulled the trigger yesterday and dove in head first on my Versa Max mods. I welded the lifter ( I give myself a 95%, wasn't prepared with the right materials and wasn't going to stop to finish later, ended up using 316 SS filler wire). Had a slight catch when cycling manually, thinking it's more of an inertia, manual cycling thing though. Filed the feed latch and formed it to the follower , has intermittent double feed when loading doubles, so...... I am going to give it a lil bend if It happens again today while in actual use. I went off of Pat Kelly's recommendation on opening the loading port and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I also feathered down the forward grip on the entire perimeter and coped it to match the opening of the loading port job. It turned into a pretty long day and I'm excited to get it into action today to see how I did. Thanks Again to everyone' for their sharing of experience and knowledge. I will post some pics also, they were a big help in helping me do mine, trying to figure that out now.

Glad to see 3 gun is catching on in Northern Illinois. Yea, checked out WIIL Shoot and found the POLO 3 gun April 6th is coming soon ! Cant wait!

The excitement is building (Along with a few other unwanted emotions) Looking forward to finding the next thing I need to improve on. and have a hell of a lot of fun along the way.
