Any issue with just making the safety heads round - thus avoiding any binding/clocking issues?
-
I would be interested in a double-headed safety as well.

Most excellent!

I don't believe it can. I'm a left as well.

I'm thinking about giving the green Champion 5" fiber-optic shotgun sight a try on my M3000. That orange fiber optic stock sight looks enormous to me, and shooting orange clays with an orange sight - seems like the green would be better for contrast. But from the description it basically glues on - how I don't know - and that doesn't sound like a very good idea. Does it work? Anyone have experience with these?

My friend had a JM Pro and it was MUCH LESS reliable than my girlfriend's SPX. The SPX isn't 100%, either, on three-gun loads (birdshot) but with the "tactical" loads it's really intended for (buckshot) it runs perfectly. -
I've often thought about shooting more interesting guns just for the hell of it. I have a broomhandle C96 Mauser with a detachable buttstock (exempt from SBR regulation). I've always thought it would be fun to run that as both a rifle AND a pistol.

Spreader loads-- do you ever get to pick up multiple clays?
Chris1522 replied to kuduman's topic in Shotgun - Technical
Some matches may require you to shoot once for every target, even if you break two with one shot. The G3G shoots I go to require this, and thus make it a moot point. -
I'd like to shorten my stock down and put a buttpad with a rounded top on to make it quicker to shoulder and less likely to snag on my shirt. I'm thinking of either the Kick-eez "Rocker" or "Sporting Clays". Looks like I could just cut down the stock, maybe drill the screw holes deeper, and then mount and grind the new pad. Not sure I want to try and take that on, though, I don't have a stationary belt sander.

Finally got to shoot mine this morning. Shot perfectly with Win Universals (1 1/8oz @ 1200, 3dr), Federal pink shells (1 1/8 @ 1200, 3dr), Federal paper shells (1 1/8 @ 1200, 3dr), Rio target loads (1 1/8 @ 1150, 2.75dr), Estate (1 1/8 @ 1200, 3dr), and Estate hunting loads (1 1/4 @ 1330, 3.75dr). All functioned perfectly in the bone stock gun. Also shot 5 Remington low recoil slugs which did fine as well. The gun does kick quite a bit compared to the 930 but reliablity is worth it.

Chameleon Load-Two belt - what size?
Chris1522 replied to Chris1522's topic in Multi-gun Gear & Accessories
My belt came in yesterday I'm glad I went with the 20. The 20 is perfect across my midsection when centered. I note that some people throw their shotgun up on their shoulder to load-2 while others tuck it under their arm, upside down. The shoulder seems difficult to me, but under the arm seems fairly natural and you don't have to touch the potentially very hot barrel. Anyway, with the "under the arm" load-2 technique, The belt needs to be off-center in order to clear the stock and the distant shells are cumbersome to grab but I think I can master it with more practice! -
Is this a new model or just a rebranded Flannigan model?
Chris1522 replied to TitoR's topic in Shotgun - Technical
$480 street price for a 28" M3000 plus an $80 tube beats that any day. -
Just cleaned mine all out, lubed, and reassembled. It's really hard to get that charging handle out! Anyone else think the shell stop is maybe a little stiff? It's more difficult to get shells into than my previous shotguns.
-
I boiled all my Yugo SKS internals and used brake cleaner on the barreled action. Worked great.

Picking my M3000 up tonight. Will put it through it's paces this weekend (hopefully) and if it runs, off to MOA I go for extension, etc...
