Tactical is a shorter receiver and lifter; competition is longer.

is this a subtle pre-announcement for a crowd funding project -- if so, I am in for 2 or 3.Originally Posted by Tom_Jones
I think I may have found a way to deal with this problem (it involves neither o-rings nor epoxy), but I need to do some testing and I'm a little busy with a couple other things at the moment. I'll see if I can get BOM to be my test monkey.
On another note, Brownells lists different part numbers for the shell lifter/carrier for the 1301 Tactical (Mfr Part: C5D552) and 1301 Competition (Mfr Part: C5D306). Does anyone know what the difference is?

Unless there is something neither Tom nor myself saw a few minutes ago while he was demonstrating this to me, I can't imagine this (easily implemented) solution not working.
I'll make sure to be able to run a few hundred shells through a gun as soon as Tom has one squared away.

Thanks to everyone for the info on the reasons for the different parts between the Comp and Tactical. It's so obvious I feel silly for asking.
Nope. I've honestly got too much going on right now to start another project. I'll probably just tell you guys what I did.
BOM just came by and looked at my proposed solution and performed a sanity check. It looks like it works and is an easy-ish fix. I'll try to make the modification soon™ and get BOM to test it (my current situation makes me getting some range time terribly unlikely) within the next couple of weeks. Fingers crossed.Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

All the credit for the solution belongs with Tom. I'm just going to make empty shells and try and screw up the fix.

Color me very interested to see what magic Tom pulls out of his hat!

Yup. I might even hold off on drilling and tapping the receiver for the other idea I was going to try.
I should be the fix test monkey, after all I am the original screw up.
