My J Kenny was still going strong when I last used it with probably another 1k rounds through it since last comment. Due to personal preference I went back to a taran extended lifter, the slight difference in the 2 piece lifter was enough for me to notice when loading. I also prefer my factory m2 trigger guard over the A&S but that’s probably just me being comfortable with how I learned to load my gun. I can say with confidence the j Kenny is working as advertised with extra power spring.

Its pricey, but I can easily pull dueces or quads off of the King competition caddies, may come in handy if you do decide to quadload down the road. As mentioned above the Invictus caddies are also a great choice

Have you checked with Roth Performance?

I am not sure if the factory mag tube is the same on the Benelli M2 as the stoeger M3000, but Nordic makes and extension to fit flush on an 18.5"m2 (sizes are listed for each tube on their site). They also have rail sections and qd mounts for slings for their barrel clamps. Its not a one piece nut and tube, but i have ran one that extends far past my barrel for years without a clamp and have zero issues with durability after dumping the gun 1000's of times in barrels.

Appreciate the feedback!

Appreciate the feedback. I’m running the vg6 brake and adjustable gas. It’s pretty soft shooting as is, but you know us 3gunners, I can’t stop tinkering haha

I am currently wrapping up a .308 build primarily for 3gun. 16" barrel, mid length gas, carbine buffer,spring and tube. There are limited choices for lightweight carriers that I am aware of, and they are quite pricey compared to the ar15 stuff. Odin makes a relatively cheap adjustable buffer. Does anyone have any experience with this buffer and if so what weights worked for you? In my mind the buffer and carrier are working together so a light buffer with a normal carrier should theoretically work the same as a light carrier with a normal buffer. Or am I just a dummy and need to spend the money for a lightweight carrier for best performance.

Just picked up a 16" Faxon Gunner. Great balance to it

I tried the Girsan 312 which is a low budget M2 knock off. Ended up with an M2 after not being able to get the 312 to run reliably.

Has anyone used the Odin adjustable buffer? I just picked one up and am gonna give it a go with a full mass carrier.

I have the J kenny which had nothing but problems to begin with. After ordering and installing the extra power springs it appears to be working but i am only a few hundred rounds into it so time will tell. A few buddies that I shoot with locally have the MOA and I have never seen a malfunction.

For what its worth, I tried the Girsan 312 route and could never get it to run reliably. Ran a M3K for a while with no issues, and am now running an M2 and absolutely love it.

I got a reply from MOA that the lightning lifter will work in the A&S trigger guard.

Id bet one of the Nordic barrel nuts would fit, just a matter of finding out which one.

Nordic makes extensions in all sizes from +1 all the way to +9. Once you have the Nordic barrel nut you can add any size extension that works for you.

Hiperfire 24c. It has ran flawlessly for 10's of thousands or rounds.

No crystal clear ruleset, more USPSAish with certain parts of other rulesets. I was thinking 2 FTE's as well. Question i still have is if swingers are not visible before being activated and technically the activators were not engaged, wouldn't the swingers be FTE's as well. No right or wrong answers, just having a fun debate with a buddy and wanted to see how others would score this situation.

Local outlaw match, pistol is loaded and holstered on safe, shotgun loaded to division capacity on safe at low ready. All knockdown steel is to be engaged with birdshot, all paper and poppers to be engaged with pistol.Two poppers activate two swingers. After shooting all knockdowns, shooter engages poppers with shotgun before ditching it, activating swingers, then engages paper with pistol finishing with the almost stopped at this point swingers. Procedural? If so how many? FTE's? For poppers or poppers and paper as well? Just curious as to how most would score this at a just for fun local.

I was hitting 14" -16" high left at 50yds, took my clamp off and same hold went to around 6"high left at 50 yds.I am running a 21" barrel and a buddy with a 24" had very similar results. I also found that for me the lighter, faster slugs such as the 7/8oz 1300fps increase the issue, I am now running 1-1/8oz at 1050ish fps and have had no issues with shots out to 150yds. Hope this helps.

What slugs are you running? Are you using a barrel clamp?

Als worked great for years but the locking mechanism eventually wore after 1,000's of draws and could be bypassed. Now running a GLS and loving it. Added plus is plenty of pistols can be ran out of the same holster.

The Beretta/Benelli mobil choke is the thread pattern. Either will work and most say Beretta/Benelli. Amazon has extended Carlson's Beretta/benelli mobil chokes for $30-$40.As far as constriction I usually switch between a diffuser/spreader( wide pattern) and a light mod( tighter pattern) depending on stage. If I only had to pick one to go with a light mod is a solid all around choice.

A few local open shooters are trimming/filing down the tabs on the els forks and attaching them to mags with sheet metal brackets and duct tape. It looks a little crude but is very functional. There is enough retention where I have not seen anyone lose a mag on physical stages, yet pulls easy enough for quick reloads. Added plus is not having to rearrange els backers on the belt if pistol or rifle mags are needed instead.

Thanks for the awesome info. Found a duplicate of my 870 at a pawn shop for next to nothing, had a buddy with welding skill mod the action bars, and I am finishing up the loading port.Now to shoot some heavy limited.

I have the 21" with extended chokes. I bounce between diffuser and LM chokes and rarely have issues knocking down steel. I run any 1-1/8oz that is cheap for practice, usually federal bulk pack. And switch to AA's or Rem Nitro express for bigger matches.
