openclassterror Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Same as a Benelli. 15mm as I recall, but I just leave a t-handle set up since we work on them every day, and honestly can't remember the last time I actually looked at the number on the socket Definitely metric, 14 or 15mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) If it is the same as a Benelli it is a 13 mm nut. And a deep well 9/16" 6 point socket will work just fine. Edited March 8, 2015 by kurtm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 And the winning answer is 15mm. Queue Kurt explaining how smaller nuts are better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Ended up buying a set cause you can never have enough tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Too slow and wrong. lol. Anyone know what size the nut inside the stock? Apparently I don't own a socket deep enough for that long bolt but I'm not keen on buying a whole set having apparently made it 40 years without it Edited March 9, 2015 by mertbl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_M Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What parts should we be looking out for as far as wear goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickO Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What parts should we be looking out for as far as wear goes? I've lost count on how many rounds I have through mine at this point. Since Jan 1, I have ran about 6 cases of shells through my MOA M3K. It keeps getting smoother and is now cycling federal bulk packs fine. I still cant get Fiochi low recoil slugs of any type to cycle reliably but I've been VERY happy with the Federal Truball so I've sold the cases of Fiochi's i had. I do have the Benelli extractor/spring on standby since that's the only part I've read here that people have had to replace. I haven't seen any signs of abnormal wear on mine yet. In a weird situation this weekend the carrier pin c-clip, that doubles as the Trigger pin retainer came lose/fell out/failed/disapeared which caused my trigger pin to fall out during a reload.. made for an interesting stage. I would say this is more of a fluke than anything but I've ordered a 5pack of c clips today to keep them in my range bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barracuda Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What parts should we be looking out for as far as wear goes? I haven't read anything that suggests a part on the M3000 wears faster than the other parts. Then again, the average round count on the M3000 is relatively low. Those that have replaced their extractor and spring with Benelli parts aren't experiencing problems with wear as much as imperfections during the manufacturing process of the stock extractor which might cause extraction issues. Just be sure to lubricate everything that needs it, and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireguy116 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I finally got my stoeger m3000 and I want to purchase the tube extension. What size will be flush with the 26" barrel and which company should I order from? Right from Nordic or moa precision? Edited March 10, 2015 by Fireguy116 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barracuda Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 A +6 extension would be closest to flush. My vote goes to MOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuduman Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 +6 is correct, and yeah, buy from MOA. Support the folks tweaking this shotgun.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireguy116 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ok just placed my order with moa for the plus 6. I can't wait to get this gun up and running for 3 gun. Thank you for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Have you guys mounted match savers (or clones) on the M3000's? The handguard being thin worries me a bit, plus there are moving bits inside of it and I've been staring at it trying to decide where it would be safe to drill. My buddy mounted one on his 1301 (which has a surprisingly similar handguard and his install was inspired by this, but if anything the M3000 is even thinner there so I'm a not sure there is enough plastic to fit the nuts.

Had no problems so far and it is prteey much directly ove top of the action bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openclassterror Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I run a match saver. There is a rib inside the fore-end at the optimum spot that has to be ground away. I will post up pics of the mod, maybe tonight. Desperately playing catchup in the shop today after taking a long weekend for 3GN match, probably be here all night tending machines. We shall see if it fits in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attached mine with industrial Velcro I got from the home despot. Never had to screw it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
