Nemesis Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 So I shot my M4 in 3 gun competition. The results are not out, but I am pretty sure I won the match and beat a few Saigas in the process. My M4 worked great although there was one problem I thought I would share with you gentlemen. I found the M4 fairly hard to load at speed. Feeding ammo into the magazine is just really stiff and hard. Note--the shotgun has over 1000 shells through it, so lack of break in is not the issue. One guy had a tricked out Benelli and said there were ways to make the gun easier to load. He had to shoot before we could finish the conversation, so I am not sure what modifications he made to his gun. So how can one make it easier to feed the Benelli? Are the gunsmith mods to help with this? Do they compromise reliability? Note--my technique is correct, so that is not the issue. Quote
taylaboy Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Out of curiosity how do you hold the weapon and where do you keep the ammo when reloading? I have never done a 3 gun match and am curious what sort of set up someone would use for the M4 on the shotgun portion. Quote

taylaboy Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Geeze. Those guys are like lightning fast. I would totally die, hahaha. Right now I just have them slung over my shoulder in a Bandolier for travel purposes. Thanks for posting that. Quote
L84Cabo Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Wow...very impressive video. Anyone know what guns they're shooting? M4's? FN's? I'm also amazed at how little muzzle rize there is. Are these guys shooting light loads or are they just that good at controlling recoil? Peace Quote
LeoAtrox Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 They are definitely Benellis; but I can't place the models. Quote
Nemesis Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 But back to the original question--what mods have they made to make them feed so efficiently? I stock gun is way too stiff to do that. Quote
LeoAtrox Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) But back to the original question--what mods have they made to make them feed so efficiently? I stock gun is way too stiff to do that. Extra long tube = longer disntance for spring. Longer distance spring (assuming a heavier spring isn't used) = less tension when empty. Consider that they are loading 4 shells into a tube that holds 10; there's a lot of extra ground for that spring, so it isn't anywhere near peak resistance. Edited March 11, 2010 by LeoAtrox Quote
