    What brand/type of ammo are you using? Will a shell drop easily in the chamber – or does the metal base of the shell snag on the extractor cut? When the hammer falls and nothing goes bang is the bolt completely in battery (extractor at 2:00)?

    I do not have a 3 gun modified 1100 around to photograph but I can offer this helpful guide to installing that Easyloader

    Cory, I know we tried the reduced power springs when I had the gun previously but I'm pretty sure we all opted to stick with the standard power spring and you were going to try some hotter shells than what you we using. Have you got a half a day sometime soon to bring the gun and some of the malfunctioning shells over to my shop? We'll both shoot it with those shell and others I have, swap some springs if needed, etc, and get to the root of the issue. I'll even buy lunch

    The TTI lifter is the same length as a modified M2 lifter. While it may fit and function in most guns the length still leaves plenty of room to trap a thumb when loading the VersaMax.

    He's right about that.

    The recoil spring is inside the action tube (visible when you remove the stock). See page 47 / Figure 39 in the factory manual.

    I was thinking some auto poppers but didn't consider that many. Do you use any standard shape auto poppers? I have a couple of these, and they're good practice too, but at only 4" wide at the widest part, and a little 2" wide head, they're pretty small. I think the Colt Speed Steel auto popper is a lot more useful for multigun practice because of the extra target surface. It doesn't take a lot of wind (of heavy breathing) to be pulling shots wide with the little standard auto popper. But, I do generally prefer shooting at targets with heads. This is the one target you can't have too many of- scatter them out from 10 to 40 yards for pistol practice, no re-setting required. Scatter them from 50 to 350 for rifle practice. Spend more time shooting and less standing back up targets. And they're still small enough that if you don't have your dope right on drop or make a bad wind call, and you won't be hitting them even at 275. Good practice. I really like those Colt Speed plates (on the Sniper legs). You saw some of those on my range along with the full size IPSC targets

    Will it function properly with all other brands/types of shells?

    Of course the mag tube length does not have to match the barre length, but to give you a visual here's this:

    Thanks for the reminder! I am leaving for the airport in 30 minutes and didn't have a sling or QD mount points for sling on my rifle. Stop in at the Bowling Green, KY Gander Mountain or Cabelas (20 minutes south of Rockcastle) and get a sling...or the nearby Tractor Supply store and get some hay bale string.

    I have to agree with, and reiterate, that train of thought. While you hear of shooters (3 Gunners and clay target shooters alike) speak of shooting “threads” occasionally it can only lead to eventual problems. A cylinder bore (no constriction) choke tube screwed in place is a cheap safe guard against a potential problem down the road.

    Long tubes have always been OK. just plug them so they only hold the prescribed number of rounds.

    I think you'll be OK.There is more gravel on the pistol bays that last time I was here and some of the other area have a nice stand of grass in the shooting areas.

    The CAS folks used to talk about their Uberti repro guns coming lubed with "Olive Oil" Seriously... use some lube...Mobil 1, Breakfree CLP, etc, ,,,kinda like Kurt mentioned something is better than nothing

    You can use the barrel with longer chambers, but you are still limited to 2.75” shells if that is what the gun’s receiver is designed for. (The difference in the 2.75” only vs. 2.75” & 3” receiver is the ejector dimension. The 3.5” Super Magnum receiver has both a different ejector and ejection port opening, among some other things)

    Easier and cheaper to replace an (extended) choke tube than a barrel...not that I have ever dinged up a choke beyond safe use anyway...

    Careful with the no headed targets.....them Kentucky boys might come after ya!We can deal with a no head target. As long as it's only one.Bring one of those cardboard German helmet cutouts, I'll fix it for ya....... Bob, you'll need to fix a bayonet to fix that target... I double dog dare you!

    On the flip side Google up the complaints that owners of the 930, 1301 and other similar guns have about those gun's potential to dump shells into the action when the bolt release button is activated at the wrong moment (a function of some hinged shell release designs). That's a problem you do not have with the Benelli design. Just thinking out loud I can envision some type of cam on the bolt that releases the shell release as the bolt cycles. The devil is in the details, but some guy named Browning once came up with a design to make a 1873 Winchester run full auto...
