Vlad Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) What chokes are you all running for 3-gun events? I'm looking into extended chokes for a m3000. Do crio chokes work? I've decided to listen to KurtM (god save me!) and this year I've been running a single choke for everything, namely LM. I haven't gone as far as soldering it in place, but I went with the Briley Spectrum extended beretta/benelli Mobil choke and I've been quite happy. I figure if I end up needing to use one of the 3 chokes it came with during a match, then I'll order another Briley for that size/constriction.

The way it is now there is no need to insert the tip of your thumb into the tube to get the shells to catch. You can keep the tip of your thumb pointing outward and use the side of your thumb. Just kinda sweep em in there. I think practice is all that is needed, not a Metabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The front is very square and it seems like there is something in there that shells will catch on. I got mine a few weeks ago direct from benelli and has the new contour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolShould have kept the 650! I just ordered low recoil rounds for the shotgun only match.I just got my Benelli extractor and spring in. I'm debating swapping them in my M3000 even though I'm not having problems with shells ejecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openclassterror Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 New tech on the extractor issue- I really don't believe in the long run that replacing all these extractors and springs is going to be necessary. I have some pictures to show what I mean. In almost every case where we have had a Stoeger come in due to extraction issues, we have found scratches on both sides of the extractor as shown in the first picture. If you push the extractor to one side or the other of its slot in the bolt head and try to pivot it, you can feel it bind on the sides of the slot. It feels kind of gritty, like sandpaper. After removing the extractor, small burrs are evident right at the top edges of the slot. My son's shotgun began having extraction issues at the MGM Junior camp after many months and at least 2,000 rounds of flawless function. After getting back, I decided to trouble-shoot instead of just replacing every part in sight. So, I used a diamond coated needle file to remove the burrs at the mouth of the slot, and flat-polished the sides of the extractor on 600 grit paper to remove the burrs along the scratches shown in the pic. After re-installation, drag on the sides of the extractor was significantly less than before. On Saturday, we had a local 3gun match, and my son shared the shotgun with another shooter. Between the two of them there were nearly 200 rounds fired with no more extraction issues, FROM THE SAME LOT OF AMMO that was giving 1-2 FTEs per magazine load earlier in the week at the camp. So, in conclusion, the Benelli extractor may be a Band-Aid fix. If your extractor looks like the pic, it is only going to fix the problem until the new extractor is also binding up. Check for burrs in the extractor slot. The slightly stronger spring may help overcome the drag, but I put the Stoeger factory spring back in and it worked fine once the underlying cause was addressed.

openclassterror Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 If the burrs are bad, the extractor may be hanging up from the get-go. Keep in mind that when the bolt closes, the extractor cams out completely off the rim of the cartridge when it hits the breech cut in the barrel, and doesn't re-grab until the bolt head rotates out of battery. If the extractor is sticking in its slot, it may not rotate inward consistently to get a good grip on the rim every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something that will be done on M3000s and M3Ks that have the Competition package done by MOA? Just wondering if the parts will be swapped with the benelli versions still and then i should still polish the parts when the shotgun arrives at home. Thank you for your dedication to quality. I look forward to having my shotgun worked on my your shop. Edited July 31, 2015 by roadie3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openclassterror Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 All shotguns going forward that leave our shop will be checked for this issue and deburred. Faulty extractors will be replaced. The P3K Signature gun will have the Benelli parts installed per Pat's request unless he changes that requirement at some point in the future. It takes 5 minutes to remove the extractor, polish the slot, and check for free movement. Like polishing the magazine tube, if it needs to be done to ensure reliability, it will be done before we put our name on it. Period. I will also mention it to Stoeger in the hopes that the issue is addressed at the factory, so nobody running a Stoeger will have to worry about it. But for now at least, I can only assure that for the ones that go through our shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Anyone have a video on how to replace the extractor and spring? I'm a visual learner and the exploded view in the manual does nothing for me. My thoughts are if I'm going to check the extractor for issues, I might as well just polish it and install the benelli parts I have.
