The beauty of Tom's solution is that the lifter is still "all the way down" when it's supposed to be receiving a shell from the magazine. I sure can't see any downside to it.

The Mossy 930 does the same F'n thing if you push the bolt release with a loaded tube. Curious why no massive outcry against them. I'm a Benelli guy, so I don't have a dog in the fight, but since a lot of 3gunners and tacticool shotgun guys are also running the Mossberg, I'm just curious.

Because most shooters don't think things through to a worst case conclusion.

Anytime engineers or lawyers write end user manuals they're a clusterfuck.
Stay in your lane.

Well, this does sound like a winner. If you intend to build and sell aftermarket lifters I foresee a vigorous trade. You may need to decide early what color Tesla you want. If you choose to avoid the headaches of the marketplace don't forget your buds here and please publish the design!
How many of those guys are actually keeping a chamber empty shot / cruiser safe shotgun and how many of them practice deploying it from that condition? Plus the mossberg 930's have other reliability issues issues.Originally Posted by ASH556
I didn't realize you were part of the Gadget team, cool. I've got one on order... Thanks for all the good work and info!
They picked him for his good looks.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
If a fellow had the capabilities to do all the welding/mods himself, this would be something that would lend itself well to a "core return" type setup -- get a few modified, then swap them in and out with folks so you've always got some more on hand.
I know you've got your hands full with plenty, I'm not suggesting you take that on...

From what I've seen a TIG or other weld material build up and grind to size might work. I do not know if this would create a heat treat problem for the part.
Another thought would be a male/female die set in a press like you mentioned.
