3 Gun shotgun recommendations?

Buy something that it is threaded for chokes. I was doing fine with a persuader then I wasted a lot of time trying to know down poppers at 20 yards as the there was just not enough shot getting on target.

We can't have these up here for our semi autos as it would be deemed prohibited mag modification to hold more than 5 rounds

Why, if its chambered for 3 1/2 it can hold 5 rounds of 3 1/2 which means it can legally hold 7 rounds of 2 3/4, plus guys running pumps should be able to use them regardless of what size its chambered for.

I only wish we had matches like that here. I don't know if my ego could handle it though. I'm always in the bottom half of the scores. Be 8th out of ten shooters I can handle I don't know about 40th out of 45. LOL

We have divisions and you'd be in Open with that shotgun. There's usually 8-10 guys in Open at most so you couldn't finish worse than 10th! :)

Ture but 7 rounds is about the limit for a tube fed gun no matter how long the tube is it has a 5 round limit be it 2 3/4 or 3.5 depending on the receiver.

I'm not sure who sells them in Canada. But I believe they're called "Arredondo Shotgun Speedloaders".

I've seen a few of them being used here in Canada, so it must be possible to buy them.
There's a ramp that bolts onto your shotgun receiver so these loaders will work.

Maybe Freedom Ventures or Double Tap can order them in for you?

So if the tubes are 6 rounds I dont see the problem, if its made to hold 5 rounds of 3 1/2 it will hold 7 rounds of 2 3/4.

Awesome, will check with Sean at the next match.
 
I have a 20ga Benelli M2. I would like to start to convert it for 3-gun using Nordic accessories.

Is there a disadvantage of using a 20ga, over a 12ga given the distances one shoots with shotgun?

I'd rather not have to go out and buy another shotgun and then have to convert to 3G.

Thoughts?
 
your only disadvantage might be cost and availability of target ammo.
Not aware of any target or low recoil slugs for a 20g

The 20 won't hold you back any when it comes to shooting paper and plates.

For tougher steel targets at distance, the right choke and load combo will be just as effective as a 12.
 
Thanks Pauls, that's encouraging to hear.

Also, does anyone know of a good site where I can learn how to do a DIY on the custom feed ramp opening? I found a short one on Utube, but it's not detailed enough for my novice mechanical abilities.

Better yet, who does custom work on shotguns in Canada?
 
Not worth it in Canada when you can only have 6 or 7 in the tube anyway. Now if we could hold 12, whole different ball game, but not the case here.

I played the mag fed deal with an Akdal MKA 1919 for a bit last year but went back to tube stuffing on the Versamax. That 5 round mag cap gets old real fast.

Agreed.... Unless you have a 30 round drum mag, but even then, that POS saiga will just jam at some point

Using a tube fed gun makes it easier to recover from hiccups and errors...
If for some reason you need to switch from one type of ammo to another mid-stage... Far easier with a tube.

Miss a critical slug target..?
Easy... Stick a slug in the tube, sacrificially fire that birdshot round in the chamber and re engage with the slug.

With a mag fed gun... Well, you can figure it out as the clock ticks and you slip lower and lower on the score board.
 
Been there, done that.
