I have a M3000 and the Nordic Components +8 tube. After opening the loading port (with only two idiot marks) I put it back together and was practicing loading and found it won't feed the first shell from the magazine. Went until 8 shells remained.

I don't think the disassembly and reassembly has anything to do with it, but maybe it did. Everything got cleaned pretty well.

I did have the spring at 16 inches out of the tube. Worked down to the 12 inch minimum in the instructions and it still won't feed consistently until I get to 9 shells.

With one shell it still throws it in the magazine pretty hard so I think I can still trim the spring some more.

How much shorter do you all think I should I go? Thanks!

Some have cut their spring down to ~8" beyond the end of the tube to get reliable feeding, cut an inch at a time till it feeds.

You can't load shells into the magazine or it won't feed a round into the chamber?

I'm not clear on what your issue is.
