Happy Independence Day!
Two years ago, I picked up a Stoeger M3000 for duck hunting with the thought of doing some 3 gun one day. 3 gun never happened, just lost interest. Picked up an Over/Under which became my duck gun last season so the Stoeger sat unused until the “mostly peaceful” protestors in my area started threatening the burbs.
Pressed into action to supplement the normal HD tools, it was suboptimal at 28”, so in evaluating options, including a used model, new barrel, etc - I came to the conclusion that every part I need to covert the M3k to a tactical HD use exists from Taran Tactical, Nordic or MOA Precision, is cheaper than buying into a used Italian model which may need upgrades and I’ll have $$$ leftover for good federal buckshot and training classes and be ahead over spending precious cash on another option. I have shot Mossberg 590s before, plus a Super Nova - pumps are not my jam.
So, to that end, here is my plan.
- Cut 28” barrel to 19” (done)
- Nordic MXT +2 or +3 (it hold 4+1 stock)
- Nordic follower
- Nordic clamp with pic rail for light
- MOA oversized safety
- MOA Magpul adapter
- MOA match saver (maybe)
- Magpul stock
- Stoeger pic rail
- BFG sling
- Vang Comp spare ammo card with velcro
- open loading port a bit
My M3k has about 500rds through it right now. I have already installed the Benelli extractor and polished the mag tube. The bolt carrier edges are smoothed, it runs great.
I’m stuck on a sighting solution so will start with a cheap fiber optic to check sight in with the good Federal Flight Control 8-pellet.
Any other recommendations?
