930 JM Pro...

Just pay the extra money for the trigger job at same time it goes to CRums so you dont have to do anything but pop the two reciever pins and roll.

Also I'd go with the cut for two reasons. The cut reduces the weight if the lifter just ever slightly to of set the ever so slight increase in weight from added on metal to weld up + if you have a mis feed you can use a small tool to help push the round back into the mag tube so you can clear the fire arm. Just my .2

It's really easy. Remove the 2 pins that hold the trigger assembly in. Take a minute too look at how the lifter is installed, snap a pic if needed. Be careful there is a spring the will have some tension on it. Carefully Removve the pin that holds the lifter in place. Pretty simple.

*** figured it wasn't all that tough but wanted to ask.

Thanks.

Lol you got the cuts wrong. They remove the end thumb trap by adding metal and making it solid. The cut is basically a slit cut through the bottom the end stays solid and the cut I refer to would not allow a digit to pass through

The following graphic explains it better than I can, but it is the area immediately in front of the chamber where the load is compressed to the bore diameter. Generally, the longer this area, the tighter the pattern with fewer fliers. I know if you Google "lengthening the forcing cone", you'll get more detailed descriptions. My 'smith has done it a lot and my pattern tests showed a positive result on the 930. My O/U is being done now.

I would add that much of what I have read suggests that a slower compression, (Longer forcing cone), results in less deformity to fewer pellets and truer flight with tighter patterns.

I picked up a JM 930 a month back. First trip to the range and the lifter grabbed my thumb bad. I asked my local gun smith about welding the lifter, he said he had never heard of it before, but "sounds simple enough" ... I think I'll pass and go the crums route.

I picked up the 24" but am starting to think the 22" would have been better since everything seems to revolve around loading 8 at a time, 4x carriers, and whatnot.

It feels like a beast though since I am used to just shooting a 5.8# O/U most of the time.

The weld up IS a simple job - except that you have to take the receiver apart to get it out - (not a big deal). A good 'smith will re blue it after grinding it down and fitting. You shouldn't need to send the gun out, IMO.

Can't really speak to the 24" vs. the 22", except the 22 points really quick compared to a 32" clays gun. I did read somewhere that Miculek likes the 24" better, but he is so good I could never appreciate what he does in a gun. I also find the gun very light, until I load it and the side saddle, but then the weight is mostly between my hands and seems OK.

I recently picked up a JM from on the forum. Feeling that I paid too much for a shotgun for gaming, I decided to upgrade it myself. All of the upgrades you talk about are covered somewhere and sometime on this forum, so I just gathered as much info as I could and went to town. In about an hour, I opened the loading port, welded up the lifter and had it back together. Found out on it's first outing that the lifter was too long, but that's the only problem I've had and it took just a minute to fix. MarkCo's postings were a huge help and I followed some Benelli forums and looked at a lot of pictures. Not pretty, but not Frankenstein either. If you have the time and ambition, do it yourself.

"chaosshooter00" - couldn't agree more. I'm waiting for parts as I write. I like to gripe but I'm sure w/ these new parts it'll be running in no time.

AMAZING to me one of these aftermarket gun accessory businesses hasn't come up with an aftermarket pre-welded lifter for the 930....seems like a cheap upgrade item someone could make some money with!

if you're deciding whether or not to get that center slot cut in your lifter, i'd just like to mention it that if you get a shell eject out of the tube when your lifter is in the normal position, you can pull your bolt handle and use it to push the shell back into the mag tube. pretty handy, hasn't happened in a match but just shooting at the range. its hard to describe the condition but u can replicate it by pressing your bolt release button with shells in the tube.

*i might edit this when i get home later to put better detail in my writing*
