DonovanM Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Does the "deeper" loading port of the Vinci make it pretty well hopeless to try and quad load it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.E. Kelley Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 This one isn't deep, bet you could quad load it just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemantj Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Mine is cut similar to Mr. Kelley's and mine quad loads great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonovanM Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 This thread cracks me up. I posted this before I bought my shotgun (and did the loading port much like Pat's) and now with an entire 2 days of practice quad loading I'm under 4 seconds for 8 shells. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151835427183423 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrickysee Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Are the stock lifters good to go on the Vinci ? (no need to make them longer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 This one isn't deep, bet you could quad load it just fine. This was obviously not done with a dremel tool, right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonovanM Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Are the stock lifters good to go on the Vinci ? (no need to make them longer) I had mine done after the port. Got my thumb stuck when I still caddy loaded. Didn't hurt (much less impale my thumbnail like I've seen happen) just got stuck. it might be fine if you stick with load 2/4 as Pat has.

I got VERY good results with nothing more than a bench vise, coarse file, sandpaper and polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonovanM Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Nope, he just added a little extension as you can see. Works PERFECT, and he polished it up slick as snot. I mentioned being concerned about adding too much mass to the carrier, so he even weighed it before and after for me - it went from 32 to a whole 34 grams. (Pardon the JB weld, that was me wanting to go a little more aggressive on the port job) Edited November 20, 2013 by DonovanM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
