Opened up my M2 Loading Port

Ryan Groves · Feb 4, 2016

Did the loading port on my new M2, was really happy with the results and wanted to brag.. I mean share pictures to help others do it. Used Gorilla tape to mark off my lines and protect. Used coarse dremel sanding drum for most the material removal, cleaned up with fine dremel sanding drum and then sanded out lines with 320 grit sandpaper then cleaned up further with 600 grit. Lastly polished with dremel polishing bit and Fritz polish. Lines stayed nice and sharp (lousy pics don't do justice) and feels great. Also tuned up the shell catch (bent in slightly, and shaped face a little then polished)

Check out the cut I saw at a match last month.

Dang, that's intense. I kept mine semi conservative for a first time cut till I practice loads and figure out what I like. I haven't even shot mine yet lol

Nice!

I've often wondered what would happen if you used a chain saw or a pissed off beaver to open your port up.....

Is it just me, or does anyone else see a crack at the front of the loading port?

shooters are like golfers, instead of a nice port and LOT'S of practice, they want it all NOW and will do anything, even destroy a gun, keeps my shop busy.

Looks like a dremel slip. Deep enough to take off the green but not go through the black anodized finish.

Great job on the M2 man looks clean. Who did your lifter?

Ryan Groves · Feb 6, 2016

C-rums did the lifter, very happy with it. Got it back 2 days after he received mine.

Who needs dremels, grinders, or milling machines when dynamite is available? :devil:

I guess I am in the minority here. My opinion is, it's a black (or green in this case) gun that I will abuse and throw in barrels. I really don't give a **** what it looks like if it works for me.

And extra points for doing it yourself and making it work!
