Pistolpete9 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I'm thinking about picking up an M3000 freedom series for a range toy. Any of you guys making it to 10k rounds without having to do parts replacements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistolpete9 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 I guess the M3k is less popular than I imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip3 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 It is a popular gun. The thread below has a good bit of info. Recoil spring and extractors seem to be the 2 things that some people replace. Both can be substituted with factory benelli parts. Recoil springs are the part that a few people have mentioned failing, if you shoot a lot of slugs and high brass it may be worth keeping a spare or replacing it to start. $9 part. MOA precision offers a number of nice parts/upgrades and services for stoegers. In regards to 10k rounds, the thread below was started in 2013. It is a great gun but a price point gun. The majority of guys who run 10k rounds in less than five years are probably running M2s etc. As a casual shooter who has been running one for about 4 years and has probably about 2k+ rounds, it has been a great gun that has run bulk federal and winchester from walmart with only 1 miss fire and 1 jam. The jam was most likely my fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
