Jackalope Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sending my M4 carrier out to C-Rums today to get welded up. Also thinking about calling him and having him bevel open my loading port a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsdorf Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Definitely want to get some work done on my loading port, for whatever reason, after installing the full length mag tube from Kip, it is easier to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's due to a longer tube and a better spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsdorf Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That's interesting, why does a longer tube improve ease of loading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copenhagen Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 length of shell / length of tube. Put a longer tube and your ratio becomes smaller. Less change means less resistance. Who is C-Rums and what do you mean by getting your carrier welded up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Who is C-Rums and what do you mean by getting your carrier welded up? One of several custom shotgun smiths in the country who weld up the 'U' cutout at the front of the carrier so your thumb doesn't catch between the carrier and the front of the loading port. Many folks have this issue... and some don't. This is a common modification for 3-gun match shotguns... in addition, the loading ports are beveled and ramped and the receiver is blended to insure the smoothest, quickest possible reloads. Unless you're shooting 3-gun, or anticipate a large contingent of zombies... or just bored and have money to burn, none of these modifications qualify as a necessity. In the image below, you can see all I've described on a 3-gun Benelli M2 which was done by Taran Tactical. Cheers, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the M2 Creeper, especially the lightened bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It's not my gun, just one that was recently completed and as yet unbattered. This gun starts at about $2500 and includes a new M2 and a lifetime warranty. If you go to the Taran website, you can see all that he does and sells.

Copenhagen Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nice. Thanks. I may shoot 3 gun one day, but honestly I got an M4 because we had them in the Marines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told, the only thing you really need to get started in 3-gun is... 3 guns , a higher capacity magazine tube for the shotgun, and a positive attitude. Here's a link to the 3-Gun Nation site... that explains every thing you ever wanted to know. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg if you hang in the limited or tactical optics divisions, you meet lots of cool folks... and you learn a lot of stuff you didn't know that you didn't know.
