DaveG Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Wanted to get other inputs on this, I've been told by a few that the TTI Benelli AccuGuide Extended Carrier will work on the VersaMax (Competition). On the TTI site it even lists it as compatible with VersaMax. I have attached Both Brownells and TTI site pictures for reference. With military discount at Brownells the price drops to 55 bucks. What do you think? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoomy Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 It will fit the Versamax. The trouble is that the Versamax loading port is longer to accomadate 3.5" shells while the Benelli loads 3" max. The result will be more space in front of the lifter when used on the Versamax and still a risk to grab your thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 As Zoomy mentioned the TTI lifter is M2 length. It fits on the gun but is generally considered too short to help on the VM Below is a picture of various lifters for comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szhttm Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Brownell's has the Remington Competition version of the carrier in stock:* http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/carrier-parts/carrier-assemblies/competition-carrier-sku767001088-68367-144301.aspx Good Luck And Be Safe!!!

dhill Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The TTI and Remington versions are both too short in my opinion. The factory lifter only filled in the fork without lengthening it. A welded up lifter from CRums is the best way to go for the VM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Get a standard VM lifter welded up by CRums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacticalCOWBOY Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 CRums is the only way to go. CRums for the win!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Get a standard VM lifter welded up by CRums. And if you have the Competition lifter C-Rums can weld it up and make it just like the other modified (standard) lifters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Ever hear of SKY TAC?- Southern Kentucky Tactical - CJ Smith- gunsmith. Got mine from him- he has new ones in stock, no need to send yours out, so there is no turn around times. He's on FB- located in Bowling Green KY. 1-270-246-3672 Edited September 17, 2014 by Rolex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsmith223 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hey glad to hear you like yours!

bigblock455 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You can order a regular Versamax tactical lifter from Remington and have it drop shipped to C-Rums where he'll weld it and send it to you. I had a lifter another vendor welded and it gave me feed problems. I got a C-Rums and problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have tried 4 other lifters welded by persons other than C-Rums, and none of them were right. Price and turn-around are excellent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsmith223 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) As some people have mentioned some shops can not get them right. I have had 3 gun shops that we're having trouble getting them right. I now do all 3 of their work and have had zero issues. As of today I have never had anyone have a problem with one of my lifters. Just make sure you choose a place with a good reputation and you will be fine. Edited September 18, 2014 by cjsmith223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Is hawking products and work outside of the vendors forum acceptable now? wasnt this frowned on? It pissed me off that a new shootercant go anywhere and just get informed opinions without sales pitches. Not picking on you cjsmith123, seems like everytime I come to visit BE the most prolific posters are the most vested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsmith223 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My name was brought up so I told him what I do and how he can contact me. And like I said in my second post. Use someone with a good reputation. Like stated above Jeff at c rums does great work to. I don't want to see anyone send their parts to some unknown shop and end up with junk.

Rolex Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 word. Im just getting touchy. a lot of sharks in these waters I agree- lots of names get thrown into this forum. But that's also how all of us get our information, and find who's good and who's not. I and other's have used CRums, great person to deal with and his product works, What I liked about cjsmith is he has new factory lifters in stock all modified and ready to ship- less turn around time, and I still have my original, to modify or keep as is. I would never recommend a person or product that I have not personally used myself in the real world. Hence why I threw in his name and number. I aslo know that we, as members of the Enos forum, are not to sell for non- members, or push products for a company that is not listed on the dealer list. And for this I shall give an apology.

Whoops! Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) I'm going to go against everyone here and say it depends on the size of your thumb. Short has been an excellent way to go on mine, my thumbs do not get caught and the extra leverage I get from the shells loading higher in the port help me shove them in the tube easier. That being said, the competition tactical does not seem worth it, it's still long enough to Chinese Finger Trap your thumb and it won't make shell loading any easier (if anything, the opposite) However, from a physics standpoint the Competition Tactical lifter should be more reliable than the C-Rums. Notice the substantial depression at the end of the Remington lifter? That guides the shells into the chamber. Without it, the gun can not be as reliable. Notice how I wrote this now . . . your gun may be perceived reliable, but it can not be as reliable. I still think cutting down the prongs on the stock lifter is the best way to go. You preserve chamber guidance and it's short enough to not catch an average person's thumb. Edited September 20, 2014 by Whoops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelpend Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Agree Whoops. It also depends on how far forward the load port is cut. I run my Versamax lifter stock because IMO the reliability of the stock lifter can not be beat. I have not had an issue with hanging a thumb but mine is ported to the max also. The extended lifters will sometimes pick up the nose of the shell too high for smooth chambering also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have another thread going on Enos about the Competition carrier, and right now I'm between going factory, C-Rums, or Competition carrier. Been reading and reading about these three and it seems that it's to each his own. I have yet to be bit by the factory one in there now (with the Vacuum port by RCI X-Rail) and may just run that for some time and take my chances. I suppose that's fine and dandy until I take a chunk out of my thumb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
