  1. Too bad it isn't a 922r "part" as interpreted by BATFE.
  2. Yeah I don't want to start drama with loctite. I was just giving my reasons . I am quite OCD. As far as the Geissele hammer is concerned, I think in order to unlock its true potential you need to have a smith stone the surfaces. There seems to be extra material to work with. I bet with some love all of the negatives would be resolved. I am too stubborn and impatient to do that so I am going to order a FFT hammer and be done with it Oh and thanks again for your posts on how to this. I would have never done it myself otherwise.
  3. This guy? http://tarantacticalinnovations.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_118&products_id=371
  4. Hi all, Just thought I would share my experience from this weekend installing a FFT 7 rd Tube and Geissele hammer. Hammer: Easy job with the right .038” snap ring pliers (I used Blackhawk 1285) and SD’s writeup. Be careful with the tiny snap ring. You can deform it easily if you don’t go slow and take care. I had to tweak mine back into shape with a pair of needle nose pliers.Trigger creep has been reduced substantially. I didn’t expect much of a change with just a hammer swap. However, the pull is now much heavier than stock. On the upside the break is very crisp. As others have noted, when the gun is decocked and on safe, you CANNOT pull the bolt fully rearward. I am not sure how I feel about that. Also, it appears that the contact surfaces on the Geissele hammer are unfinished. Perhaps this is done for final gunsmith stoning? I think I am going to swap in a FFT hammer and see what happens. I chose the Geissele for longevity concerns but I am not sure about the tradeoffs. Tube. Also an easy job. It just requires patience. I got a $22 Wagner heat gun from Home Depot and heated the tube (after taking out the spring, follower and snap ring with channel lock 927 pliers) just forward of the handguard retainer for about 25 mins while a buddy held onto the receiver/stock with a pair of gloves. It twisted right off. I cleaned the threads with acetone (you don’t need much at all, I would get nail polish remover with acetone if I had to do it again) and called it a day. When I installed the FFT tube, I threaded it in a few turns and then put a dab of green loc tite on the threads and then screwed it in fully. Then I put another dab of green loc tite on the exposed threads to let it wick down to the other threads. I went with green as that is what the factory uses (although I have an H2O with red Loctite on the threads). The camo finish was unharmed. Hope that helps someone here
  5. I would look into Nordic Components. You could get a mag extension then a barrel clamp with a pic rail. http://nordiccomp.com/retail/shop/nc-extensions/nc-shotgun-extension-complete-assemblies-for-12ga/
  6. I would take it back. Let us know how it goes. This is the newer H2O that lacks the full length tube and cs, right?
  7. Nice VEPR 12. I have been wanting one for awhile. Found one at a gun show but the furniture seemed incredibly cheap. Yours look great though. I assume mag changes are much faster in the VEPR vs S12?
  8. Oooh. Lets see pics of your vepr with a comparo vs an M4.
  9. Oh ok. I assume the powder charge is the same?
  10. I believe that stuff is Federal LE127 00 Buckshot contract over runs. It will run fine in your M4. To be clear, I have never had an M4 jam on ANY 2 3/4" buckshot. Even when new. That includes the "low recoil" labeled loads. I did let a 12 year old boy shoot my M4 once with federal low recoil buckshot and it did jam. I could not get it to happen so I assume it was due to the way he was holding the shotgun.
  11. Lube the bolt and receiver rails liberally with the included lube. Make sure you have a firm shoulder weld when shooting the low brass stuff too.
  12. StrangerDanger- the tag on the box on one of my 11711 H2O's says $2005.95.
  13. Can't wait. Merry Christmas!
  14. Saw that. Too bad it is the same price as before but without the cs and full length mag tube.
  15. If the trigger parts are identical, would that make an easy 922r swap? http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/1458400.htm I was hoping the pistons at least would interchange but they appear to be different. The bolt looks eerily similar. Etcetera- could you post pics of the bolt on your VM? Does anyone have any side to side pics of the VMT and M4?
  16. Did you do it as an individual or trust? Looks sweet.
  17. This. Also I think the oil Benelli provides is perfect for break in use.
  18. It is not per se. On the gun I had, it was applied poorly and had many reassembly scratches.
  19. Within a few weeks of each other. The one with the coated triggerguard was purchased first. I resold it because the NP3 coating was atrocious. It would be interesting to see how many there are out there that have/don't have the coating on the triggerguard.
  20. Original H2O triggerguard coating was hit or miss. I had one without coating and one with.
  21. Sidearmor makes rail and side saddle systems for the Super Nova. Maybe this is what you are after? http://www.sidearmor.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_49&products_id=62 http://www.sidearmor.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_50&products_id=108
  22. I had a tacstar that added one round years ago. It was advertised as a +2 however . . .
