mags Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I just bought a M1 90 brand new.Brought it to the patterning board and it shoots about 5inchs to left .I tried 3 different chokes and 4 different loadsand they all shot left.This is off sand bags so I dont think it is human error.Can this be fixed with the shims that came with the gunand if so which one would I want to fix this problem.The patterns were pretty good .If anybody else has had this problem I would like to hear how you fixed it.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drundel Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Try having someone else shoot it before you mess with shims and see. do you or any buddies have an after market choke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Already had my brother shoot patterned the same as when I shot it. And yes I tried a Briley choke tube all the chokes shoot left .Any ideas to fix thisI dont want to have to send the gun back to Benelli.I hope it is a easy fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 1. What yardage are you patterning at? 2. What loads and size shot? -or- are we talking slugs here? 3. Are you on a bench with the sand bags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drundel Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 there is no cast on cast off for the M1 that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 paterned at 30 yards .Loads were 23/4 #2 steel shot and # 3 steel shot,and 3 inch with #4shot and #6 shot lead turkey loads. Yes I was shooting off a bench with sand bags on a calm day so wind wasnt the culprit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
