    I have several brands and recently went with the Holosun on my open gun.  I think the large window and large outer ring (65 MOA) makes target acquisition much faster.  

    I got a holosun on my VR80 and it's great, very quick aquisition and hold zero under the shotgun recoil.

    I like the solar panel on it and the shake to awake option is cool.

    Hi all,

    I picked up a m3k on a black friday sale and stripped totally to file the extractor channel, clean, relube, install a nordic extension. 

     Finally had a chance to get out and function test it today. Ran 75 assorted challenger, dominion and score shells with no failures at all.

    Seems to feed awesome, and I really like it. Now I have to get grinding on the loading port a bit.

     

    I usually run a magfed Derya MK12 (VR 80), but always wanted to try this type of shotty.

     

    Thanks to everyone for all the great  info in this thread!

    Just recently put one on mine.  Heaven sent.  Could not get along with the trigger reach of the original stock, so for the heck of it I Googled 'Stoeger M3000 Magpul Stock' (since I liked the Magpul on my Maverick pump so much) and bang it came up.  Thought it was a mistake.  Again....Heaven-sent!

    Anyone got a spare adapter they can sell me? MOA is sold out and I have the magpul stock just waiting to get mounted up.

    Thanks

    seems very short, does Taccom recommend cutting 6 coils off a rifle spring (12.75") or cutting 6 coils off a carbine length spring (10.5")???

    This seems like it would be too short to function properly??

    Anyone want to chime in on this, as clearly I am no spring expert LOL!

    TIME TO EAT SOME CROW ,,,
    Went to test my theory at the range and I need to apologize to Taccom as I am 100% wrong !!
    The cut AR10 spring did function, but barely. It barely had enough pressure to close the bolt.
    All I succeeded to prove is that I can waste $20 faster than anyone. Lol
    What’s even funnier is that I didn’t want to wait to order from brownells and actually bought it in our local gun shop and paid the premium$35 Canadian for it.

    Now part of this I blame Taccom , lol(kidding) because if they would ship to Canada , I wouldn’t have to get creative and would order 1 of everything from them. Just saying. Or at least make your parts available to buy through Brownells as they ship to Canada.

    So.....nom nom nom nom nom
    ( that’s me eating crow , lol)

    Its a cut spring.  

    Ok, so I think I know what Taccom is offering with these flat wire recoil springs...….

    I found it odd that it only measures 9.75" and is a cut spring and not factory finished on both ends....hmmmm.

    So here's what I have deduced, these are nothing more than a strike industries ar10 .308 flat wire spring which is exactly 19.50" long that are cut exactly in half (9.75")

    So I'm testing my theory and picked up a new strike industries spring from Brownells for $19.99 and cut it in half to get 2 springs.$9.99 each vs Taccoms price of $25.

    Will test it out tomorrow to see how it runs with the Taccom buffer.

    If I'm wrong ,which I don't think I am,  I will owe the guys at Taccom an apology, lol.

    Will report back the results tomorrow.

     

    Cheers

    I love my 650.  With all the aftermarket parts I've installed, I have a very smooth, reliable press that has a good priming system.  I see no reason to change.

    Totally agree. With a few upgrades like a rollerball turret setup , its smooth and I have loaded over 20,000 rounds and have never had a primer set off......Every couple of thousand rounds I use some compressed air and blow out the primer tube and plate o get rid of any primer residue.

    So its about 9.75" long

    Thanks squid!  Is it machine finished on both ends or just one end and the other looks like it was just a cut coil??

    The reason I ask is I think this is a standard AR15 flat wire recoil spring (14") that Taccom just cut to the 9.75" and resells them for the VR80.

    If it is finished exactly the same on both ends, then I am completely wrong and Taccom had them made to their spec.
