Thank you so much for the tutorial. I love how you got straight to the point with no distracting music. I recently purchased a Stoeger m3000 tactical model. And I couldn't figure out how to disassemble the bolt. Thank you again
Great video thank you! Disassembled and reassembled with no problems. Just a tip for Stoeger M3000 owners - buy a Benelli M2 extractor and spring kit and install it. It’s an easy upgrade and the OEM one sucks. May save you some trouble down the line
Hey great video thanks very much for posting. How long is the inertia spring from end to end any chance I could get some measurements off you. Anyway thanks for posting also great content on the channel
Broke it down and out it back together. I can hear Alittle movement in my fireing pin assembly after i put it back together. Have had this gun for 2 years and tons of shells have been used. Is this rocking noise inside a normal thing over time ?
I just got this exact gun when I got it the bolt fell out now when the gun is put together it only slides about halfway I don’t know how to fix it also the bolt release makes a clicking noise but does nothing. Do you have any idea what it could be?
I just bought my M3000 with bronze cerakote and when going to remove the forehand and barrel from the receiver, I can pull it roughly 1 inch until it just stops and is extremely difficult to move. I have managed to get it apart but feels almost forced. Same with when u go to assemble. I get to the point where the barrel meets the receiver about 1 inch away and it’s almost impossible to move. Any ideas on why?
Make sure you are pulling the action back a bit when seating and unseating the barrel. Otherwise, it’s possible that the cerakote may have thrown the margins off and made it too tight. This happened with an AR that I owned and I could barely get the gas block off.
Well you can narrow it down by testing the bolt and firing pin. Make sure when you press the firing pin it pushes back out and make sure when you press the bolt it comes back out (5:50 of this video). If both of those are working it’s probably your trigger assembly. Once you know what the issue is, you can dive a little deeper into fixing it.
You gave a great review on disassembling and assembling the 3000 so I assume you might be able to answer my question. Does the 3000 have a method for setting the cast or does it remain in the neutral position?
The Stoeger M3000 comes with shims that you can install to adjust your cast and drop. If you bought a used one and they didn’t come with it, you can buy them separate on the Stoeger site.
@@TheGreatAmericanOutdoorsmen thanks, good to know. I looked at its OM at Stoeger's site and it showed no shims for cast, only for drop. But the big question I have is can it be set for neutral cast. I'm left handed while all my grandkids are righties. Most right handed guys who buy a gun don't pay attention to cast on or off because the gun either come with cast off for righties or neutral cast; however I'm assuming a guy like you giving a review has investigated all aspects of the shotgun. Benellis come with cast off for righties and include the shims to make it cast on; but Benelli offers no shims for neutral.
@@TheGreatAmericanOutdoorsmen really!? Wow I’m surprised at that in the US. I have 9 in mine legally out in the bush and I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 will have to mention that next time one of your country men has a go at our Australian gun laws 😉👍🏼
Hey, when I purchased this Stoeger m3000 the under the magazine cap the orange plastic plug/rod was not installed. I've shot my gun without yhis installed as I didnt realize it needed to be in. It has performed fine. After watching this I realized thd orange plug should be in. I've installed thd plug but now my magazine cap does not screw on, it's as if the threads don't touch each other due to this orange rod/ plug being I there. Can anyone assist me with this. Tim
Tim, I have encountered this issue on other models. 1st: twist the plug to make sure it’s fully seated and not catching on the spring or anything else. 2nd: make sure the fore grip is fully seated in the receiver otherwise it will stop your magazine cap from going on. 3rd: If those don’t work, cut a half inch off the end of the orange plug, sometimes they are too long. Hope this helps.
I can't load more than 2 shells in a magazine and the problem seems to be in the rod. I've read online that the rod is there just to prevent you from loading more than 2 shells because of some bird hunting laws in some states. Can i just remove the rod so I can use it's full magazine capacity?
In most states you can’t hunt small game or birds without the rod in. That includes turkey. If you are just shooting clays, remove the rod. If you’re hunting, I’d say keep it in. Better than a fine from a game warden.
Ok, thank you for the quick response. I am aware of the legal situation, but I was just wondering how to do it in case i ever need to. Thank you for the good video as well :)

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback.
Great explanation. No fluff, BS, or annoying background music. Thanks!
Welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Very nice job explaining
Thanks for the feedback 🙏
Dude, this video was damn good. Great job. Saving it so when I clean my gun, it will make it easier for me to do this. Thanks.
You’re welcome! Glad ya like it.
Great video! Saved to my favorites for when I disassemble mine for cleaning!
Thank you!
Did a great job on explaining how to disassemble and reassemble
Thanks!
clear and concise - well done - thanks
You’re welcome!
Great video mate. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative. Thank you very much !
You’re welcome.
Thanks good lesson
You’re welcome!
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Thanks
You’re welcome
Nice video on how to. Hey will this shotgun take a rob roberts Beretta mobile choke?
Never used a Beretta choke but if it’s the same as the Benelli chokes, my guess would be yes.
Hey great video thanks very much for posting. How long is the inertia spring from end to end any chance I could get some measurements off you. Anyway thanks for posting also great content on the channel
Thanks! The inertia spring on the Stoeger M3000 is exactly 1 inch long.
Thanks very much for your reply 👍🏻
Broke it down and out it back together. I can hear Alittle movement in my fireing pin assembly after i put it back together. Have had this gun for 2 years and tons of shells have been used. Is this rocking noise inside a normal thing over time ?
Yes, it’s probably the inertia spring moving inside the bolt. Mine does the same thing when I rotate the gun up and down.
is there a evil spring in the magazine tube?
There is a magazine spring. I’m unfamiliar with the term evil spring though.
I just got this exact gun when I got it the bolt fell out now when the gun is put together it only slides about halfway I don’t know how to fix it also the bolt release makes a clicking noise but does nothing. Do you have any idea what it could be?
If the bolt fell out, it sounds like the bolt retaining pin is either damaged or maybe missing?
I own one just like this one
Great guns!

When i go to pull the trigger to test after reassembly, my hammer is not striking my pin. Got anything for that?

Followed the steps but magazine cap wont thread on with the plug but it will without it any ideas why?
Make sure the barrel is fully seated, otherwise the cap will not go back on. It might be off by just a little, even 1/4 in will throw it off.
When we remove the pin holding the mechanism swivel head shaft of your rifle, can you replace it with the same frequency?
I’m honestly not sure about that one.

Hey mate why don’t you cut down the orange mag tube plug so you can fit more rounds in your magazine?
In most jurisdictions, you have to restrict magazine capacity for bird hunting (2+1). He may have left in the plug for that purpose.
Most states I hunt in have a 3 shell limit on shotguns.
Yep, I’ve been checked by a few game wardens in my time as well 😂
@@TheGreatAmericanOutdoorsmen really!? Wow I’m surprised at that in the US. I have 9 in mine legally out in the bush and I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 will have to mention that next time one of your country men has a go at our Australian gun laws 😉👍🏼
@mickp1978 no kidding, 9? That’s cool! Some states are better than others, that’s for sure. You got me curious about Australian gun laws now 😂
The bolt looks like it is partially open after reassembly. Is this normal ?
As long as the function check is good, you should be solid.
Is it the same for the stoeger 3020?
Yes almost exactly the same, just make sure you press the carrier release button to remove the bolt and bolt housing.

Why is my bolt stuck in the back of the action?
Hard to say but I would take everything apart and start from the beginning.
😮I 😢😮w😮
My locking pin falls out just by turning the bolt on its side. Is this normal?
Mine started doing the same thing after about 1000 shells. It hasn’t caused any issues with the functioning.
