BOOM Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Could be the brand of lube your using?Try wiping down your gun heavy with a good oil that inhibits rust (EEZOX) let it soak over night so it can penetrate, wipe off the excess the next day . Long ago had trouble with certain brand (Tetra) grease rust started forming on a few internal parts within a month. Not sure why, but it went straight in the trash.

Nebwake Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I usually use free (ish) Army breakfree CLP on shotguns and mobil1 on my 1911's. Glocks get ignored . Perhaps I need to switch to something else for this guy. EEZOX huh? ill see if i cant find some to try.

Barracuda Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 My buddy's been trying to get me into 3 gun, and I've been on the fence mainly because of cost (college student). Well, thanks to this thread I created an account, and as my first post, I'm happy to say I'm $500 poorer. Picked up a 26" M3000 at my LGS today. Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread, especially Jesse, Pat, and Tom. Excited to start building this thing into a 3 gun monster.

BOOM Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Nebwake for me its worked. There are others, CLP is what now use for all my internal parts its rated high as a good light lube, and rust inhibitor. In the barrel NO tefflons(FP 10) I'm no chemist there are lots of gun oil reviews online Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmc1094 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have to use a large taped up flathead screwdriver to pry mine out, and a rubber mallet to get it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Pull the bolt about 1/2" back and take it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barracuda Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have to use a large taped up flathead screwdriver to pry mine out, and a rubber mallet to get it back in. Worked like a charm! Thanks! Pull the bolt about 1/2" back and take it out. Tried that for a little while. I guess I need to work on my finger strength haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barracuda Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 First range report. Wow. Very impressed by the M3000. Ran 100 shells consisting of Rio, Federal Top Gun, and Remington Gun Club. I wasn't expecting it to run as reliably as it did going off of what I read in this thread (brand new inertia gun with lighter loads). I only had 2 FTFs of which both I think were from the ghost load. Not sure if that matters or not. I think I can attribute some of it to the thorough cleaning I gave it the night before. Cleaned off that thick, sticky lubricant from the factory and applied Ballistol. The action was noticeably freer flowing which I think helped it in the wet and cold (45* is cold to a Texan) conditions today. Can't wait to throw some MOA parts on it!

TXMXRACER Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Does anyone know if the Redneck tactical bolt release tab will work on the Stoeger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Does anyone know if the Redneck tactical bolt release tab will work on the Stoeger? It is not a direct fit. A little redneck mod and it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barracuda Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Can anybody tell me the length of a stock M3000 with a Nordic +9 tube? My rough guess would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 56". The reason I ask is because I'm having trouble finding a case that will fit a shotgun that length short of a full on .50cal drag bag which is overkill both in purpose and price. I thought I had a winner with the 56" Midway USA drag bag, but the internal length is 52". What are y'all using to transport/store your M3000?

Nebwake Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 my +8 fits barely fits in a Cabella's hunting case made for 26" bbl shotguns. Perhaps look at pelicans or other hard cases like that. My buddy has a Surgeon Scalpel with a 28" barrel that fits with room in his pelican case. Super overkill for a stoeger 3000 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 maybe try this, I have one of these for my benneli nova and it folds over. I bet without it folded it might fit. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shooting/Gun-Storage/Gun-Cases%7C/pc/104792580/c/104730480/sc/104368680/Cabelas-Northern-Flight-Floating-Sleeve-Case/1383198.uts?destination=%2Fcategory%2FGun-Cases%2F104368680.uts&WTz_l=undefined%3Bcat104368680 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barracuda Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions, Nebwake. I'll look into those options. In other news, I just finished reading through this entire thread, much of which was when I was supposed to be writing a research paper (like right now). Why couldn't my research paper be about the M3000...or 3 gun in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcalidave Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 For a simple case look at the black powder rifle cases. There are a few 56" bags. After that, you'll just accept that the mag tube needs to come off for most transport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openclassterror Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I use a Beretta trap shotgun soft case for local events, but any time it needs to go on an airplane the tube comes off. Even my Safariland 3gun bag with the extendo-pocket is too short by a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
