Taking a chance on a Stoeger M3000 Freedom Series Defense Shotgun - opinions?

Shot 20 heavy buckshot loads through it w no issues. I know one thing that’s getting changed - the recoil pad. The stock one is hard as a rock. No give whatsoever. Limbsaver ordered.

Yep the limbsaver really helped on mine! What else are you going to do to yours?

So far I’m gonna chop the stock down and add the limbsaver. Got an MOA spring on the way. Still trying to find a mag clamp, though.

Oh yeah, I’m gonna add a Noveske flush for QD cup to the stock.

Let me know how your stock chop works out. I might shorten mine a bit. too Your turn to be Guinee Pig! LOL

The limbsaver came in today so I’ll try to fulfill my Guinea pig role this weekend. 🤣

No use waiting until the weekend when the wife goes to bed early. If you decide to chop yours down, make sure you buy the limbsaver pad specifically designed for custom fit. I bought one of the pre-fit pads and trimmed it down. I think it would have been cleaner if I had used the other pad. But I’m a function over beauty type guy anyway. Went from over 14.5” LOP to right at 13”.

Lon, was the prefit pad you bought sized for the M3000?
