Pulling the trigger group apart was educational when I first installed the TTI lifter. Lost the carrier spring washer, that made ftf and fte go from seldom to constant. Lost the axel c-clip, but that was easily temporarily fixed with a traditional c-clip. Installing the heavier carrier spring from Brownell's fixed a bunch of existing issues made worse by losing a washer. Reinstalled my stock lifter and shells stopped nosing downward. Decided to go back to a Wolff factory power recoil spring. The reduced power recoil spring increased felt recoil. It actually ran a mixed tube of low recoil bird/buck/slug 100% when I was done. Timing, it's such a misunderstood and critical operation. I'll bend the TTi nose in increments, shooting it for feed reliability this weekend. I gotta hide in a corner with a torch and a vise. Hope no one notices when I hog out a couple holes in the shooting table

Had nothing better to do on a Saturday night. Benelli bolts are hard, dulled a brand new slitting saw. I don't know what I'm doing loading, and got fixated on relieving some material to expose the follower just a little bit. End result is conservative, I could have beat on the arrow button and still have an intact rim. If I find myself bending my thumb a lot I'll cut by 10ths until the quad claw feels right. Loading port I decided to go with what I consider conservative. I'll polish it up tomorrow. I broke the edges with some sandpaper and got a few loads in. Much easier now. I think later down the road I'll setup a cut to speed up strong side quads. I want a better idea of what I want to feel before blindly ripping out the right side of the port.

I just installed a TTI extended lifter last week on a 93 M1 S90. Had some issues loading, felt like the back shell was stacking up on the first. Thought it was BC i really don't know what I'm doing dual and quad loading. A week goes by, and the whole time I'm punching my bolt handle forward BC the lifter nose obstructs the follower enough that when I load a single shell, I can reach into the port and release it. Rim of the shell gets hung up on the lifter nose. Besides reinstall my stock lifter, any advise is appreciated. I can take pics or link a clip later if that'll help.
