Jim Norman Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Gliney00, The Stoeger will do just fine. I have a 24" having moved up from a 21 1187 and I could not be happier. It loads easy and cycles everything I've run through it. Mine was built by Tom out at MOA. He relieved the underside of the action and did some trigger work. Relax and enjoy your new gun. Shooting more usually beats spending more on equipment so long as the equipment runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gliney00 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thank you all for taking the time to answer me, I went out and knocked over steel with it again last night. I like the gun a lot, I just guess I am over over thinking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 has anyone successfully installed a RNT bolt release? I bought a bennelli one, but the stoger has material that looks like it gets in the way and is part of the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowashooter Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I thought about doing a RNT but the way the Stoeger's latch is designed I like having the large button. So when I am practiceinv loading you can push on the back of the button while holding the carrier down and it will unload the shotgun. With the hinged shell latch. I felt I would lose that feature with the RNT. But my button was super hard so if you are going to drill and tap yourself get a Good drill and cutting oil.

That's why I don't run an oversized bolt release on this gun. Edited September 26, 2014 by Jesse Tischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never intentionally use it as a shell release in a match only as an aid in unloading at home when practicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I have a benneli nordic clamp that seems to be a little "short" on the M3K. It puts a sight upward cant on the +7 and causes the follower to bind. Do I need to run the clamp? is there a nordic clamp that fits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just got done running 2 boxes of winchester 7 1/2 1-1/8oz dove loads and the 3K ran perfect. Prior to shooting the gun for the first time I did leave the bolt locked to the rear for a few days and I also ploished the magazine tube to a mirror finish startign with 100 grit, then 400 dry, then 1000 wet, 1500 wet, 2500 wet , then metal polish on cotton. Not only is it silky smooth, it looks cool! pretty happy overall with the gun and real happy it runs cheap ammo without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebwake Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Looking again at the rnt lever, itll be a pita to get it to work. You will have to either cut out the polymer spacer thing, or totally remake the lever so its about 1/2" longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 AN RNT RAPID RELEASE TAB??? It may pain you to do so Jesse, but all you have to do is ask for one. You don't have to talk it up, you can say you made it yourself, you can say you made it out of a leaf spring. All you need to do is tell me if it works. I got them in shiny silver, bead blasted matte, and Nitrided black. You can text, P.M. use a double blind cut out....what ever! This is a complete gift to you in memory of Sailor Jerry. I don't need nothing from ya! No endorsement, no mention on NPR, no here I am with RNT interview crap. Since the Duck crowd found out about them, 3-gun sales seem a bit......well....uhh....you know. I just sent 300 to Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balmo Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Here is my recent shotgun only match. Please pardon my D-class shooting, I just like to show how the M3K had zero malfunctions. I thought I had a malfunction on stage 1 but I stupidly racked the bolt on an loaded chamber. Stage 3 is an all slug stage. Stage 4 is mix of bird, buck, and slugs. I had a couple of people asking how the M3K is. Thing is like a truck that just keeps on chugging along. Oh, and I also had 4 rounds of skeet the day before so ya, like a truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWZ9dC07hIQ Edited September 26, 2014 by balmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 So kurt, have you tried to hack one on to a stoger? would you make one specifically for the M3000? or is there a tab that would work better than the bennelli tab on the M3000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 No I don't make one for the Stoger. I have been told a couple of different stories. One it drops right on and works great, one it works but has to be glued to the hand guard, and now it needs to be remade entirely. There is the one I make and the one made by Dave's Metal works, I don't fore see me making one specifically for the Stogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I think it will work on the stoger, but if it was longer it would work like it is intended to on the bennelli and be up tight against the mag tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The stamp die is already made the way it is, it can't be made longer by just saying it needs to be longer. Stamp dies cost around $1500.00 to make plus the cost of the material to make it for the 100 or so folks that might buy one for Stogers. I just can't see the return to do it.

Nebwake Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Yea I don't blame you for that kurt. I guess I envisioned you in a hunter cabin in WY grinding these things on a foot powered grinder true redneck style Anywho, I might get some spring steel and hack one together for the fun of it to see if it will work. (if you don't mind kurt) I promise I will not get into the sales business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recoilchamp Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Does anyone run a 28"? Curious how it fits with the +8 tube for 12 rounds in the tube. Any disadvantages to the longer barrel at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowashooter Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I jave the 28" and run the 12 round tube. It is about 4" past the barrel. It points well and I don't have any complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
