mk23 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 What does 7+1+1 mean? It was used to describe an M3T. Does that mean you can load one in the "gate"? How? Thanks Quote
Duggan Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 You load 7 in the tube, one in the chamber, and put one on the lifter. Quote
mk23 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Thank you. Is there a special way of putting the one in the lifter? Quote
tucker301 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Just a technique. Load her up as usual (7+1). Ease the bolt back enough to get the chambered shell clear of the chamber. Then push that one down onto the carrier. Slip another above it and drop it into the chamber. Make sure the carrier is all the way down and let the bolt close. Quote

This doesnt create a problem when the gun cycle because the magazine is going to try and load a shell onto the carrier but there is already one there Quote
Unobtanium Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Interesting!

I am not sure the mechanics of why not, because I never cared. I pressed the shell-release and nothing happened and that was good enough for me. I am sure Duggan can tell you which lever or whatnot precludes this, or you and I could figure it out by removing the trigger group and looking if over. Quote
tucker301 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Newer models of sporting guns will not allow a "floater" by default, but this is easily fixed with a little epoxy or tig welder. Quote

Unobtanium Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Im going to see if my SBII does allows this M1's and SBE 1's did, IIRC (may be wrong) but the M2/SBEII and newer Benellis do not. Quote
NJgunner Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 M1's and SBE 1's did, IIRC (may be wrong) but the M2/SBEII and newer Benellis do not. Will I know right away when I try to load it or only if I fire and cycle the gun Quote
NJgunner Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Did a gunsmith do that? I guess I would have to get that done for my SBII? Quote
tucker301 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Mine is tig welded, but I have done a friend's SBEII with Brownell's Steel Bed ( a mix of stainless steel powder and epoxy) with similar results. Quote
MueveloNYC Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Also note if you have a 3+1 and you go hunting, you should not do this or you'll have some serious explaining to do. LOL Quote
tlingitndn Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 This is cool. Will it onlywork with semi autos? Or will it work with a pump as well? Quote
tucker301 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Also note if you have a 3+1 and you go hunting, you should not do this or you'll have some serious explaining to do. LOL Not a blanket rule anymore. Here, it's a limit of three for migratory birds (except Spring snows), but small game and deer have no limits. Quote
