win12 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I am concidering the purchase of a new M3 for personel defense and a fun skeet gun. My concern is whether the gun will function in semi-auto mode with light 1oz. target loads. Your experience please. thanx TG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarLynx Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I have 2..(.2 M3s & 2 M4s)..One of the M3s is an H&K benelli M3...with a 26" Ribbed field barrel...the other has the 19.75" Tac barrel Newer Model Benelli M3)......All 4 shoot even the WallyMart cheap stuff....Not one malf....Well..I did try some of those Mini Ag black shells...& they will function (especially in the Gas op'd M4..but both tend to drop 2 of the little short shells into the lifter area...They'll shoot if you only load one in the chamber & one in the Mag tube...I pulled the rear ghost rings off the 26"..& use it only for Dove & West Texas Blue quail...Skeet & clay....really reachs out there...& shoots cheap with Wally Mart $35.80 a case 12 ga ammo...
