Fired the remaining 50 rounds this afternoon with zero problems! Happy camper!
-
Grabbed a 100rd bulk pack of Fed #7.5 1 1/8oz 3 dram from Wally World. Tried to induce the hang up with these rounds by hand cycling but could not. If I really really tried I could slowly ease the bolt forward and get a couple to hang in the spot...and I mean I had to really work at it to do it and then the slightest tap on the weapon it would chamber. So I put just the tiniest little more bend in the tip of the lifter then could not reproduce the hang up no matter how hard I tried.
Now I just got back from the range. Happy to report that all 50 I fired cycled perfectly! Zero problems. Friday I couldn't get thru a magazine without one or two hanging. Will try to fire the remaining 50 after the IDPA match tomorrow if time/weather allow.
Feeling a lot more confident in the weapon now! Was afraid I had made a mistake selling the 1100!
-
Will try to take a pic after testing and further possible tweaking today.
Here is the link where I found the info...scroll down to kurtm's post and he explains the bend:
-
I plan on running some different brands of ammo today.
After posting last night I started looking through some other threads on Benelli issues. Found some folks with the same problem after having their lifter welded. Sounds like the added length is indeed pushing the shells high and an 8 degree bend is needed in the tip of the lifter...
I gave mine a slight bend late last night then hand cycled some rounds through without hang up. Before I could induce or stage the jam manually...after the bend I was not able to do this. Will live fire today and possibly do more lifter tip bending.
Learned one thing...when I have work done in the future I'll send the whole dang firearm! I'm sure C-Rums would have tuned it if I had sent more than just the trigger group!
-
Hey gang,
Got a brand new Benelli M2. Sent trigger group and bolt off to C-Rums for lifter weld, trigger job, and ghost load mod.
Been running Estate 7.5 birdshot @ 3 dram and getting feeding jams. The rounds seem to wedge/jam into the ringed opening of the chamber.
Any suggestions or thoughts. I plan on comparing my chamber to a buddies next week...
Thanks guys!
-
Hey gang,
Any of you folks using the Millet DMS 1-4X24?
Have any pros and/or cons with this optic. I'm really debating one of these...on a budget and seems decent for the price.
-
I love the Drissel throw lever I have on my TR24 but I am not going to drop $75 on a throw lever to put it on a scope that I only paid $175 for.
Anybody have a suggetion for a cheap alternative?
A little cheaper.
-
Here's my recently acquired 21" M2. I really love it...could never go back to an 1100 again.
-
Mine's @ 12"
-
Can anyone post a pic of an actual properly modified latch?
-
Woohoo! Finally took the dive and sold off the Rem 1100 and got my Benelli M2!
Put the bolt body and trigger group in the mail today to Jeff!
I can't believe how much lighter the weapon seems to me over my old Rem.
-
My Benelli M2 should be in this week.
Have the following Nordic parts already here waiting for it's arrival: + 5 Tube, Tube Clamp, Charging Handle, Bolt release button, Follower.
What mods should I be looking at from Benny? This gun will be for Tactical division.
Also what kind of cash should I be expecting to spend on the mods?
Thanks gang/Benny!
-
Thanks for the info! Looks like I may retire the Rem 1100 next week...
Will probably do some one stop shopping at Nordic. Looking at:
+ 5 Tube
Tube Clamp
Charging Handle
Bolt release button
Follower
Don't know if a larger safety is needed? Also would like to get bolt modified for "ghost loads" and the lifter replaced or welded to miss out on thumb bites!
Any other suggestions would be great!
-
Total Benelli newbie here. Not exactly sure of what I'm looking at/for in the modified bolt pics? Can someone show an unmod and mod next to each other? Getting an M2 would like to "ghost load".
-
How are the clamps from Dave's Metal Works?
-
Might pick one of these up. Was wondering if an extended tube can be added to this model? It's a 21" and would like 8 round tube that doesn't go past muzzle if possible? Tube suggestions would be great!
-
Emailed Dave at DMW's but received no reply.
Anyone have other options of who to send to?
-
If the need should arise, can anyone provide contact info for some folks that can fine tune these damn things?
To those who have sent off to have EZ Loader work, do they usually require the whole firearm (makes the most sense) or just the trigger/carrier group?
-
Uuuggg! Right now when hand cycling the action it locks open on every shell!
-
Whew! I have it fitted to the carrier now...no binding, it moves real nice and smooth.
I was indeed able to reuse the original Rem pin.
I'm taking a little lunch break before I get back to it...
Then it just needs to be timed and that part scares me!
-
Ah! Thank you sir...I am very appreciative! I will be attempting one of these next and wanted to do some research. I think I would prefer your latter method as well.
-
Tried the search and all the links I could find to the scans were dead.
If someone could please scan and post this again, it would be most certainly appreciated!
-
Sounds like fun! How about .30 carbine out of a M1?
I wish, but unfortunately no...I've pleaded for the club to allow this cartridge on steel, but I got a big NO response!
-
Hey gang,
If anyone is interested, I have started two club level divisions for Port Malabar Rifle & Pistol Club's monthly (4th Sunday) IDPA match.
SCARB - Stock carbine...iron sights only
ECARB - Enhanced carbine...one optic allowed
THESE DIVISIONS ARE FOR NON-MAGNUM PISTOL CALIBER CARBINES ONLY...we cannot shoot steel with rifle or magnum cartridges!
All IDPA rules apply. Since all divisions/classes are stand alone matches, we do not impose a magazine capacity restriction for the carbines! Only things we do mandate is:
If a mandatory reload is required in a stage...carbines must perform one as well.
If weak hand shooting is called for...carbines must shoot weak shouldered.
I want total muzzle control of the carbines so there will be no strong hand/weak hand only for these divisions...just supported strong/weak shouldered.
It's been a hoot! Drag out your pistol caliber carbine if you'd like a change of pace!

I'm with you cas!
Put some more thru her yesterday with zero problems...not even the light stuff hiccuped!
25 rds - Win AA Light Target 2.75" 2.75 dram 1.125 oz #7.5 shot
25 rds - Win AA Xtra-Lite Target 2.75" 2.75 dram 1 oz #7.5 shot
25 rds - Independence 2.75" 3 dram 1.125 oz #8 shot
Need to mess with the shims a bit now...shooting high even at 10-15 yards. Have to use a six o'clock hold on the plates. Would rather have POA/POI dead center.
