optimator Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi all, first post here. I'm planning on shooting my first 3 gun match next month. I went and watched one last week and that was pretty much all it took to seal the deal. I had been reading up for a while and had already decided on a M3000 or M3K. I got a decent deal on a M3K and picked it up from my FFL yesterday. First off, I have never seen a gun with the internals so covered in oil as this one was. All I did was wipe all the excess off, shot in some CLP, and took it out today. 125 rounds of cheap Walmart Federal went through it without a single hiccup. I also put 5 slugs through it. They all shot point of aim out to 50 yards. I am honestly very impressed with this gun. I was ready to change out the extractor before I even got it, but I'm not sure if it's even necessary. It looks like I got a good one. I'm putting a 6+ extension on it as soon as MOA gets them in stock. Other than hogging out the load port and maybe some trigger work, is there anything else you'd recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisdunn Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 My m3k also seems to have gotten a good extractor I went plus 6 As well and a Moa follower and stock pad. Love it so far it is simply flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody_2130 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Ran 75 rounds through my new m3k at the trap range today with no gun related issuses, I'll be buying a be benelli extractor to keep in the parts box just in case, the gun shot great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Nice! MOA has the tubes, but they're out of stock on black. I just got my new one myself and was planning on buying a blue tube from Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimator Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks for the reply's guys. Maybe I will go ahead and change the extractor, there is no way it could hurt. And Jordan, post up a pic if you get the blue tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I will when I order it. Might be a few weeks. I just built a rifle so the funds are low haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanGriffith Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Are the MOA tubes any better than the Nordic ones? I was gonna go with a MOA this time to change it up. Maybe a plus 6, in guessing that will stick past the end of the 24" barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a plus 6, in guessing that will stick past the end of the 24" barrel I believe the MOA tubes are Nordic tubes. Tom told me the +5 is longer than the 24" barrel, but shorter than the extended choke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowashooter Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 After seeing an m3k in person for the first time last week. I think the port work is good it may just need to be opened at the front to push it forward just a little bit. The follower also could stand to be replaced I replaced the follower in my m3000 with a nordic one. I polished the outside of the mag tube on my m3000 where the action bar and recoil spring ride. I also swapped the front sight. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosiershooter Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 A follower isn't an option if you're putting a tube on. You'll go crazy if you don't get one. Tubes are a preference. I like my Carbon Arms +8 tube and run a Nordic +4 ext on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosiershooter Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Jesus Christ how long is that setup? It's only 6.5" past the choke. +12 comes in handy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) That's not too bad, probably looks like JT's old M3K Edited February 28, 2016 by JordanGriffith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanGriffith Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Anyone swapping out followers?Yep What follower comes with the gun? Is it a Stoeger one? They don't have any info on their site. I'd like to talk to one of their reps to know for certain instead of speculating. It's similar looking to the Nordic low drag follower isn't it?

The stock one is just a crappy plastic follower. Since I just got the gun yesterday, and have yet to put an extension on it, I have read of many problems with the stock follower and extension tubes. For $15 I'll eliminate the problem before it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody_2130 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I got an moa follower, should be similar to other upgraded followers on the market, but Tom is a good guy and if I'm gonna order a tube from them I don't see a reason not to get it all in one order lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I agree. Whoever I order from is gonna get it all, I just can't decide, Nordic had always given me great products and their customer service is always good, so it's hard to change. But I've heard nothing but good things about MOA and that's why I wanted to maybe go that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is that the 8 round mono tube with the +4 nordic for 12 round capacity? A follower isn't an option if you're putting a tube on. You'll go crazy if you don't get one. Tubes are a preference. I like my Carbon Arms +8 tube and run a Nordic +4 ext on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
