Jesse Tischauser Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I just bought a m3000 and the first thing i did was open the loading port. The you tube video Jesse has was a huge help. If you are planning on doing this i highly suggest you watch his video. I happened to get the 26in so i hope it goes good. Very helpful videos indeed! Especially the final shots showing the profile and contours in detail. Jesse - did you wind up opening up the port further as noted at the end of the video? If so, can you post some pictures? I need to open it up more. My M2 still loads a lot easier/faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yea my pattern comment was based on what kurtm stated. I am by no means a shotgun expert (or any expert for that matter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhugz Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Kind of a noob question but I shoot really high on close in clays. Any idea why? I'm a very new shotgun shooter. I have to hold very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travtastik Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 So besides cutting the port what else is everyone doing to theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iswope Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 So besides cutting the port what else is everyone doing to theirs? Well I opened the port, put on a Nordic Components +9 tube, low drag follower, lightweight bolt handle, TTI oversized bolt release and am probably going to replace the front sight with something a little more visible. Not sure about that yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally247 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I was close to buying a M3000 a few days ago. Today I walked into the store to look again and lo and behold there was a nice used one on the rack! $350 later she's mine. Time to file away and get a mag tube on it.

I have to hold very low. Have you patterned your shotgun? Sometimes on close shots I pull the trigger before the gun is shouldered and the muzzle is pointing up. It's easy to forget that the close targets are the hard targets with a shotgun. Which is just the opposite of the other two guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travtastik Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Jesse is there any reason to polish the mag tube or the slide that the bolt rides on? It fells very rough and I have oiled the hell out of it. Maybe it's just something that will work out as it breaks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iswope Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I don't know about Jesse but I took some 600 sandpaper to the mag tube and it definitely improved the action and quieted the gun down quite a bit.

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk I couldn't stand the sound of that spring running on that tube with all the ridges on it. I sanded the crap out of it and it still makes a little noise. I'm gonna do more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJirasek Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I say save a little longer and go with the Vinci. The Inertia drive is amazing but there are definite advantages to the Benelli. The M3000 is limited due to design as to how much work can be done around the loading port and as it sits stock it needs work to truly be smooth with twins and quad loads. There is no need for modification on the magazine tubes, Nordic and other companies make Vinci extensions now. The Vinci is lighter and much much easier to do mod work to around the port.

CarRacer Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Anyone have a lubrication diagram? The factory manual that came in the box is worthless and I work better using pictures to reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangheadhere Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Anyone know how to lay hands on the January shooting illustrated? I was just a bit too late to the party to catch it on newsstands. I see a couple on ebay, but $4 for shipping on top of a marked up cover price is an insult.

EkuJustice Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 How High are you shooting and at what distance? Usual ways people shoot night is they do not get a good cheek weld on the shotgun as your eye is the rear sight. If it's up higher your gun shoots high. Another common reason is the shooter wants to see the break or hit so they lift Thir head to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
