  1. Part #8 https://gunrepaircenter.com/versa-max-action-spring-tube-snap-ring/ Part #4 https://gunrepaircenter.com/F401319/ "Gun Repair Center (dot) com" is the parts supplier for newest iteration of Remington/ Rem Arms
  2. Invictus Practical has a variety of chest rigs
  3. Something is amiss. Once the shell clears the front of the latch it should not matter if you push it 1.00” or .001” more. Clearance is clearance. Does the front end of the shell lifter contact the latch when loading?
  4. With an empty chamber and bolt closed slide one shell into the tube, making sure the shell rim is forward of the shell latch. Will the latch move over under its spring pressure (toward the center line of the receiver) and hold that shell in the tube? Can you move that shell in the magazine tube side to side and get it the slip past the latch and back in to the receiver?
  5. Was the gun working properly, then started doing this? Without pushing the drop lever (silver tab) if you cycle the bolt by hand does the shell lifter move up/down as it should to bring a shell up toward the chamber? Does the bolt lock in to this “halfway forward” position when you fire the last shell in the gun? Or just when cycling by hand?
  6. Have a properly equipped machinist or gunsmith turn a steel plug to just under the mag tube's ID, but larger than the follower's OD. Slightly taper each end of the plug. Clean then oil the inside of your dented mag tube then tap the plug through the tube to remove the dents.
  7. Some info from Carlson that might help. (Near the bottom of this page)
  8. I've been to several of the Generation 3 Gun matches at Gadsen, you could drive to every stage. I would expect the shotgun match layout to be similar.
  9. Mossberg Accu-choke tubes (used in the 500,590,930,940) are interchangeable with Browning Invector (but not Invector PLUS) and Win-Choke.
  10. Drill / tap the top of the receiver to attach one of the DPP mounting plates made for the Marlin 336 lever action rifle or similar. The mounting plate has a flat underside that is not too thick. Here's one example of the mounting plate
  11. Can you source a Benelli M2 or Super Black Eagle inertia spring? That spring will work in your Stoeger M3000.
  12. If you want to use the original pad trim the lugs so the recoil pad will fit back into the stock, then “grind to fit” the exterior of the pad to match the lines of the (now smaller) stock. Any well equipped gunsmith can handle this, its not too much different that than fitting a new oversize recoil pad.
  13. I expect C-Rums can help https://c-rums.com/speciality-work
  14. If you can have the Compass barrel threaded 1/2-28 (which should provide a suitable shoulder) you can use this adapter: https://www.silencershop.com/1-2-28-to-5-8-24-adapter-cnc-warrior-2.html
  15. Is the magazine tube bushing in place on your gun? It is the first part to go onto the magazine tube when reassembling the recoil spring, bolt, etc - fits between the spring and receiver. I've seen a gun or 2 without the bushing (probably lost in disassemble) and the bolt bounce issue was increased.
  16. The 1301 only releases a round from the magazine tube when the hammer falls or you manually activate the shell release (button at the center rear of the shell lifter). That is the way it is designed. As other mentioned you can unload the magazine tube without cycling shells through the chamber by holding down the shell lifter and manipulating the bolt release
  17. If you are were at Uncle Lee's in Kentucky you were only one county away from me. I bet we know some of the same people. Give me a shout if you don't get it sorted out and I'll be glad to help.
  18. If the edge of the extractor cut (leading into the chamber) is sharp you should ever so slightly polish off the sharp edge. Do not remove a lot metal and expose too much of the shell rim – just round off the sharp edge
  19. In extreme cases you may have to cut it with an abrasive cut off wheel. Place a thin shim between the crush washer and barrel shoulder to avoid contact the wrong part with the cut off wheel.
  20. I see a trend here. Stick with 1200 fps or faster with 1 1/8 oz. of shot for the best results. Winchester AA Heavy Target (1200 fps 1 1/8 oz. of shot) is my go to in the M2 and 1301. The 1145 fps load runs most of the time, but with the 1200 fps load ammo related issues are nonexistent.
  21. Interesting....Does the machined out area leave 2 post to set the Dot on to, and have a radius on the front of the cut?
  22. The Marlin mount is a fraction lower than the Sumtoy.
  23. Yes I do. Take a look at using the Marlin rifle base in this link. We have installed that mount system on several hunting guns. Burris red dot on a shotgun using a Marlin rifle base
  24. We have drilled / tapped quite a few guns including M2s for Weaver, Picatinny and custom type optic bases. The rear section of the M2 receiver is thick enough to securely hold most optic mounts. Sumtoy (and maybe others) make custom bases that set a Fastrife and similar dots lower on the receiver that rail mounting
  25. Are you continuing to press the bolt release while you insert a shell into the magazine tube? If so you are also pressing the shell latch against the shell that is being inserted causing it to hang as you noted. There is no need to have to "uncock" the gun before loading. Cycle the bolt to cock the hammer, engage the safety, load the magazine tube. Now press the shell release button (rectangular tab near the rear/center of the loading port which will eject a round from the magazine tube onto the lifter. You can cycle the bolt to put that round into the chamber when you are ready.
