I'm new to 3 Gun and in need of some advice...
I picked up a Stoeger M3000 new in the box for $449.00 last week and I plan on using it for 3 Gun and dedicated shotgun matches.
So far I've ordered Nordic Components plus 2 tube kit for NY ( we have severe magazine capacity restrictions in the People's Republic ) , a plus 5 tube kit for weekend excursions to "free America", a Nordic low-drag follower, A Nordic barrel clamp, and Briley chokes.
At this point I intend on just breaking the sharp edges on the loading port and eventually sending it to a pro to have the loading port opened up.
Is there anything I've missed in my efforts to get the gun up and running at the entry/beginner level ?
This is a nice shotgun for the money. I'm a "less is more" kind of guy when it comes to hacking on things with hammers and files so I'm primarily interested in making this boomstick more "user friendly" than a full blown race gun at this stage in my 3 Gun shooting development. Factory division is my preferred 3GN Division.
Thanks for the info/advice. Know it's appreciated.
