Only video on youtube thay explains it how it needs to be done. Not how the individual feels they should start the process in the video. You start at step 1 not step1(actually step 3) So thank you.
Great video Rex Arms. Considering buying one of these M3000’s myself in the 24inch length. What do you think about the general weight and balance of the gun? What capacity does it come up to without the limiter in the tube?
Personally I've bought a couple and I love them. I use them for competition in three gun skeet and also for hunting waterfowl. They balance pretty well, point well, are extremely reliable. The aftermarket has also embraced the shotgun and with the use of Beretta Benelli mobile chokes, the shotgun really has the ability to do what you need it to do. In regard to chokes my favorite are the Carlson extended for duck season I'm using the Carlson's Cremator Non-Ported Choke Tubes. Normally I'll use the MR and LR for bird hunting, for 3 Gun and skeet I use their extended improved modified as those pattern the best at the normal ranges I shoot with the ammo I use.
@@RexArms Sounds like you’re enjoying your M3000 to the fullest! I’m definitely going to pick one up, I’ve been looking for an affordable, reliable inertia semi auto that will take Mobil chokes. Stoeger also makes competition 3 gun shotguns on the same receiver (I think it’s called the M3K) so the receiver is already drilled and tapped for a pic rail. I want to buy an M3000, screw a ported tactical Carlsons cylinder choke, put a red dot on it and use it out to 100 yards with slugs. Such a versatile gun.
She likes hot ammo. If I was willing to spend the cash I'd get a benelli or other expensive but super reliable gun for defense. But for the money this is a hell of a gun. After some breaking in it kinda can cycle light loads, but don't rely on it. Also it does require you to take the recoil like a man to cycle properly. Not saying unreliable, but don't try to cheat it & expect to get good results. But you can ghost load these bad boys! Haven't had any trouble with that
In a later video we add a magazine tube extension so the retainer had to be removed for that. We also added a metal follower but didn't do a video on it.
3:34-3:37 that spring there, how important is it to make sure that spring goes in the same way it came off. I ask because I dropped it during cleaning and both ends are pretty identical so just curious if there IS a certain way that slides back on the barrel or you can slide it back either way you flip it? Sorry, It's my first 12 gauge automatic so I don't want to mess it up. Thanks if anyone cared to get this far is the post, any advice?
I was trying to assemble the gun after disassembling it and I put the rail on without the bolt inside, the spring went all the way back and now I can't get the bolt in or the rail out. Please help
@@vanillathundr24 there should be two holes in the rubber at the end of the stock. Use a philips screwdriver to unscrew those. Once rubber is out, use a socket (ideally screwdriver type, you need to get deep) and there's a bolt to loosen. Loosen that up and the stock should come off and you're good to go.
That's called a Magazine Limiter Plug. The Magazine Limiter allows a duck hunter for instance, to remain compliant with Federal shell capacity regulations when hunting water foul.

Without the limiter it has 4+1 capacity.

Why spend 2 minutes griping about the charging handle? Otherwise, good video. Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback, we will keep that in mind for later.
so why do you remove that metal retainer at the end of the mag tube and the spring?? and do you need to replace it with a longer spring??
In a later video we add a magazine tube extension so the retainer had to be removed for that. We also added a metal follower but didn't do a video on it.
2:42 That's what she said.
Haha... Yes she did.
Giggity giggity
What is the sence of taking things apart off screen for a disassemble video?

I was looking at mine and I don't see a difference if it goes on one way or another.

Hey bud, do you know how to take off the stock?
Casey Henehan did u ever find out how to
@@tysonbolen7422 I did, do you need some help?
@@StayHumble248 I just purchased the upgraded pistol grip stock for my M3500. How do I install it?

whats the orange rod you pulled out??
That's called a Magazine Limiter Plug. The Magazine Limiter allows a duck hunter for instance, to remain compliant with Federal shell capacity regulations when hunting water foul.
@@RexArms Do you know what the capacity is without the orange limiter in it? Will it hold 5 2-3/4 inch shells?
@@mattholley3642 4+1
Looks like the franchi and not the m2 benelli
Will enhanced bolt charging handles for the m3000 work on the m3020?
Excellent question, we've tried it on the M3500 but haven't tried a M3020.
helpful video but whoever designed the spring keeper needs to find a new job...
