Thnx 4 the video very helpful. I made the mistake of ordering from stoegers supplier midwest gunworks. They sent me the wrong rail and wrong screws and it cost me like $40. Found this same one u installed for $20 on amazon and it came with 2 sets of screws+2 extra and the bit

Yep. I made the same mistake when I set up my m3000 freedom (3gun). EGW rails FTW!

@@CDCLLC i got an m3k but dont really enjoy shooting it honestly so im tricking it out. Installed the rail today. Gonna mount a red dot and a pistol grip stock. Probably gonna look uglier than shit with the long barrel and mag tube but who cares

[@chanmoua]

Could either of you tell me the threads pitch cause Midwest definitely failed to mention that no hardware is included and I planned a shoot day tomorrow for sighting my m3k in. I wanna get the red dot on asap

found your video and your comment explains the rabbit-hole I was about to venture into, thank you for saving me a headache!

How has your stoeger ran, reliability wise? And how many rounds?

[@babadee8977]

It's really reliable. It holds 6, 5 in the mag, 1 in the chamber

[@CDCLLC]

it's been "typically" reliable. I've found after a hard training class (200-300 rounds), the bolt starts to slow down like other semi-shotguns that I run. SO keep it clean and it will run for you.
