M2 Field Carrier Mod - Ghost load - How much relief/grind

Does your bolt have the notch or no notch?.

Best advice? slow and easy.

This image shows abit too much but you get the idea/

If you can get it down on the lifter and one in the chamber you are there/if the bolt will go past a round on the lifter, you are good.
 
All you need is a mirror image of the front notch, where the rear notch is.
That before pic is more of a "half way" pic as it has material removed vs completely stock.
 
CR - This is a brand new M2 carrier w/ two notches. V in the front and U in there rear.

Pauls - I would agree with you that the rear U notch on this new carrier doesn't seem as deep/wide as the "before" picture. Could just be the effect of the close-up picture too, but I doubt it.

Looks like the bit of his dremel got away from him as well.

Next up is waiting for my order of Nordic parts to come in. Working on getting a TTI AccuGuide Extended Carrier imported (Brownell's won't export it). Stippling job tomorrow pm after the am at the range. Maybe start working/polishing on the loading port opening.

Should work out to be a fine gun :)
 
Could the 'Carrier Lift Gate' get modified instead of the bolt? I always hack the cheapest part first if possible :)
 
I don't know for sure G37. CR would know.

Casey will be doing all of the work on my M2 in early December, including the Taran Tactical AccuGuide (Vs welding it), opening & polish the loading port, installing a TT trigger spring and tuning it, polish/port lifter gate, TT safety & bolt release, etc. I should be getting my Nordic Comp tube/bolt handle/barrel clamp in the next few weeks from Brownells.

All in all it should make for a nicely tuned M2. Only small piece missing in a couple of extended chokes. Stocks ones are fine, but they are flush fit.
 
Yeah, I'll post a pic of my M2 once I get the goodies on :)
Beautiful shotgun.

Casey is awesome, I've sent several things to him over the years and work is always top-notch! Ridiculously fast turn-around times as well when compared to anyone else.
:cheers:
 
Broke out the dremel yesterday... it takes a steady hand.
As pauls stated, you want to make a mirror cut of the cut in front.

Works fantastic!
Can float 2-3/4" or 3" with absolute ease.

Enjoy!

Nope it wasn't much. I should have taken a before... it's basically a small "U", I simply used a fine stone and eyeballed 45degrees and went at it to match the front (mirror it.) Finished it up with a bit of polish-wax and buffing wheel.

Surprised at how easy it was and how well it works.

I've owned several different makes over the years and I've never had a shotgun that could so easily float a 3" shell. :)
