openclassterror Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 We have had 4 reports recently of tight threads on the extension nuts. The inside diameter of the threads on the steel factory tube have in all cases measured so far been about .010 larger than the ID on all M3000s to this point. We have just finished machining a batch of adapters with oversize minor diameters, and are awaiting their return from anodize. If anyone has this issue, please call us and we will replace at no charge as soon as the oversize adapters are in. We don't want to change our standard ID unless absolutely necessary, as these oversize IDs (0.970" minor thread diameter) leave only .015" per side of thread depth.

Punkface Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Do you know the serial numbers of the ones with tight threads? I just picked up a m3000 and am planning on ordering an extension through you within the week. Also, someone posted a whole ago saying they ground down their spacer on the outside of the magazine tube. Has anyone tried shooting without the spacer to see the difference in performance?

racesnake Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Does anyone know if a Burris Speedbead mount for a m3500 will work with the m3000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN3gun Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Wow, I read all 73 pages! I'm new here and found the forum while searching the M3000. A wealth of information in this thread. I have been using an early model Rem1100 for 3 gun. I put a 22" Competition Master barrel on it. It functions 100% even with ultra cheap/light loads, but it's heavy and slow to load. I was planning to get an M2 until I saw a couple youtube vids about the Stoeger. Some guys at my local 3 gun have also been talking about it. I found a 24" at my LGS for $485, and I think I'm going to go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN3gun Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I am looking forward to getting my m3k. I'll probably just put the ext tube on it and see how it runs after a few boxes of various loads and slugs. Once I feel good about it's function, I'll start cutting the port. Going to go ahead and order some goodies from MOA though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to heat the nut part and melt it in the handguard so it wouldn't disturb the action.fyi by heat I mean I just used a lighter on the nut . So what I did was figured where I wanted to drill the hole for the screw then once the hole was drilled I screwed the screw in the nut , then heated the nut then with pliers pulled up on the screw melting the nut into the handguard till there was clearance. Hope the makes sense. Edited January 5, 2015 by Oskino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickO Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 That's the same thing I did. I melted the inside of handguard to get the nut to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
