ranger Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I like extended choke tubes so I do not need a wrench. CDNN has a deal on "Beretta" extended choke tubes for Beretta-Benelli-Franchi. Five tubes and a cheap case for $39.99 plus shipping. Three of the short knurled extension tubes are IC, M, and F and marked marketed by Beretta but made by someone else (Italian). One of the choke tubes is Beretta OEM rifled slug tube with a short knurled extension. But one of the choke tubes is a Beretta OEM "extended" Improved Modified that is almost 2 inch extension! Yes, they fit my Stoeger 3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaman Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I finally got around to making a few modifications. The most notable is a slight opening of the loading port. It's not much but is noticeably better than stock. I may open it more after I get more practice loading. I also shortened the stock .500", added the oversized bolt release, and smoothed out the mag tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amr Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Very nice job! I took about the same amount of material out of my loading and am still amazed the difference it makes with just the small amount I did. Definitely worth the time and effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mertbl Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm not a fan of the tiny fiber optic. Has anyone replaced theirs yet and with what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iswope Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm not a fan of the tiny fiber optic. Has anyone replaced theirs yet and with what? Same here. I actually don't mind the size but it doesn't seem to pick up much light. I'd much rather replace with Green or Yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Tiny? Mine is short but like 3/8" in diameter. Doesn't glow like a Hi Viz though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iswope Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 After recently replacing the broken fiber optic in my M&P Pro front sight I'm wondering how difficult it would be to just pop out the red fiber and replace with something brighter. Looks like it would have to be glued or something, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amr Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I replaced mine with this: http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/sights/front-sights/versamax-front-sight- competition-master-hi-viz-versamax-front-sight-competition-master-hi-viz-sku767-000-952-56475-118445.aspx I had to drill/tap the existing hole for a #6-40 thread. Is the original sight just pressed in or is it threaded? Edited February 18, 2014 by Amr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 It is threaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeAZ Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I see the 2 round holes behind the fiber... is it the intent that you line the 2 holes up to see the whole fiber front ... thus you have the gun aimed?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openclassterror Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I watched for the bead during practice, and I realized that I am not really even aware of it when I shoot. The stock is adjusted to fit me, and when I bring it up I am looking right down the length of the rib. I guess the only time I really even focus on the bead at all is when I shoot slugs. I am strongly left-eye dominant but right handed, so I see as much of the side of the rib as the top. I guess I just know what the sight picture is supposed to look like when I am hitting, and it has nothing to do with the bead. Is this unusual for left eye dominant people? I know when I used to shoot skeet I had to learn to ignore the mid bead, or I always shot ahead of the high house targets. I haven't really seen the value in fiber optic beads on shotguns, I guess is what I am trying to say. Do you right eyed people find them very necessary?

Bangheadhere Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I got the Nordic VM lightweight charging handle, but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to go in. How are you supposed to coax it in? Do I just need a bigger hammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunfighter Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I got the Nordic VM lightweight charging handle, but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to go in. How are you supposed to coax it in? Do I just need a bigger hammer?It needs to be turned down slightly. You can chuck it up in a drill press or even a hand drill and use a sanding block. Thats what I did and fits like a champ now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Got any pics of the VM handle in the M3000. The VM handle is my favorite on the coolness scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperman Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 You should be able to measure the old part, and make the new part match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought I was making a funny but I think my humor can be a little dry sometimes. Here's what I did. Looks ugly but works pretty well.
