packeagle Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm new to 3 gun. My local club holds 3GN Club Series matches and I'd like to join in on the fun. I shoot a Glock 35 (15+1) for IDPA and have a 1x red dot on my AR. So I think factory division is the division I'm going to be most competitive in with my current gear. I just got a 26" Stoeger M3000 I'd like to build into a budget friendly Factory Division Shotgun. I'm looking at buying MOA precision parts and need to decide on the tube length. I was looking at the rules and it seems to say that 8 in the tube and one in the chamber at the start of the stage. At the same time it seems as if I remember seeing a lot of people going with longer tubes and topping off on the clock (possibly in different divisions). What would 8 (4+4) be the proper tube length for Factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racknrider Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I think you are limited to 8 in the tube at any time in Factory. You can top off in Practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packeagle Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks! I got you. That's good to know. That's how I read it too, but I would hate to buy a +4 extension and want longer later. Now, if I could get MOA to respond to any of my emails it would great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotMRD Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Start with a +4 tube for factory. If you decide you want to switch to practical later you can get a longer tube and spring separately and be able to switch between the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterSmallz Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Good luck on the MOA emails, he's been pretty sick but I tried to get ahold of them in Nov and Dec and last try was via Facebook beginning of January, nothing so I've decided to spend the extra and get a TTI.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packeagle Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Ended up ordering the extension tube from Nordic. Still hoping MOA will get their stock replenished. Want to buy the extended controls from them, but they show out of stock still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterSmallz Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Tom commented on a Facebook post I made looking for an M2 and said he has been really behind on parts because of his health, it sucks to hear as he has become the leader in Stoeger and Franchi parts for 3 gunSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
