[HONEY]

I brought two of these for the higher prices,well these guns working on big copper shotshell.Better use fed or win shotshell.Please remember that this is a play gun,if for live and dead situation ,I would grab a mpa or 930.

I think the lack of spare magazines is the biggest limitation for this gun.

[HONEY]

Oh,yes.I buy two guns because of extra mag.They want fifty bucks for one mag, then I better buy a extra gun.

I've got an extra mag I would part with if anyone wants it. Pm me. Reasonable price.

[surplusshooter]

has anyone figured out a way to limit the mags to 2 rounds for waterfowl hunting?

[deemoney]

Are the barrels interchangeable with a remington 1100?

just cut a wood dowel big enough to stop the travel of the magazine, and you're in business. I did that for my grizzly. One factory, one with a cut dowel for bird hunting.

Hey y'all!

Just wanted to provide a quick update: Polishing up the rub points and adding some white grease made the whole shotgun function flawlessly. I only brought one of the three out, but it was literally running perfect. So impressed I bought a fourth M1000. (CanadaAmmo's weekend special may have also influenced that decision...)

I'll put up some more photos with the polished points later.

Cheers!

Turned this high point:


Into this smooth spot:


Cleaned it and lubed it up good (both channels, both sides of receiver):


Polished up the rod, this rubs along the channel in the receiver:


Then I polished the inside of the piece that the piston pushes. I also usually polish the rod it rides on as well, but in this case, it was already smooth (other guns, it was sometimes VERY rough):



Add lube (I just use thick white grease, like you'd use on yo:


Polish out those nasty mill marks on the bolt bottom where it rides on the rail:


Put it all back together with plenty of lube on the bottom of the bolt carrier:


Cycle it a few times (without the wood forend), wipe off the excess lube, then completely assemble and you're good to go.

(This is sort of a no brainer, but with so little information available on the M1000, I figured, why not.)

thanks jiffy lots of good info this is my first semi shotgun so I was a bit lost till now

Jiffy might be doing a little overkill on the lube and smoothing out wear points.
What also works is clean , oil then shoot. Then repeat.
You will find that the wear points polish up fairly quickly.
Lubing when in the field helps also.
Jiffy's way might be needed if the gun won't cycle? But for my guns it wasn't neccesary...
But I did switch to grease rather then oil after Jiffy's pics..
