I am looking forward to your experience with the 1919. This was my first year shootign 3-gun and I jumped into open as that is what I shoot mainly in USPSA... It wasnt and option late last year when I was buying my shotgun.. Talked with Ken Nelson at Ironman and NWMultigun and handled the 1919...

Thanks Mike. I tested the mod at the range over the weekend and it works great. Was able to start with 13 and the gun ran perfectly. Now I just need my XXL nordic cap to come in and I can start with 14 :hunter:

Roger that. thx.

Good thread.... I have a +8 on my 26" M2 for open and can get 11 in it, but after reading about the XXL cap I ordered one today so I can start with 14 (12+1+1). Thanks, Allen

SUCCESS at last. Thanks to all here who walked through this process with me. OK. After going over the gun again it would not allow a ghost load. So I starting working on the back angle of the expanded groove. Once I got the back angle to about 45 degrees I could then keep the lifter down while...

Thanks Mike - Will go over everything again this evening. Doing some more research I may need more of an angle on the notch. My work simply increased the size of the notch, but I think the rear side needs to be at closer to a 45 degree angle...

OK - I obviously didn't take enough time testing my work after reassembling the gun. Sorry for the false alarm... :scratchhead: After taking another look at this thing it appears as the bolt won't close without trying pulling the lifter up so I must not have taken enough off. I will try and...

OK. The next time I tear it down I will take a picture and post it up. Here is what I understand to be the reason for the mod... Without the mod the bolt won't close with a shell on the lifter because as the bolt is closing it is trying to bring the lifter up thus not allowing the bolt to...

Thanks Jesse. Just didn't want to cause massive damage LOL

Tried searching for the answer here and on Benos, but to no avail... I modified my M2 bolt to allow for a ghost load by slighly enlarging the rear notch on the bolt. Using dummy shells I can load a shell on the lifter and one in the barrel and the bolt closes. I pull the trigger, hammer falls...

After a little fitting it is working fine. Haven't had a lot of time to really push it to see if the porting improves muzzle rise significantly, but hope to do that soon. But now I am going to build up an M2 for open to cut down on the overall weight and improve reliability. The 1187 was my...

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Been lurking around the forums since buying a shotgun barrel from Jesse off of the benos forums and decided to join up and participate in some of the discussions and ask a lot of questions. Have been shooting USPSA for 2 full seasons. In 2010 I shot Limited and in 2011 I shot open. Shot my...
