Went shooting yesterday and the M3 ran like a champ, despite being almost devoid of lubrication. Recoil was fine despite having the thinnest pad on the Comfortech. Had to make a little clearance cut in the forend to keep it from hitting the Tac2 oversize bolt release when using it in pump action. Before the cut the forend would hit the button, releasing a second shell, jamming the gun. This fine firearm never ceases to amaze me with how well it works and how simple it is despite being a switch-action. Thanks, Lee
