Title: Went out on a good note
Post by: 270Shooter on January 30, 2011, 03:15:51 PM: Its been a long season with its ups and downs, being only my second season waterfowl hunting I still have a lot too learn but this year was pretty good. It was frusterating at times, but overall there were more birds around this year than last it seems. I went out on a solo hunt and did pretty good, hope you all did well too.

Southpaws unite!!! Not to thread jack, but, would you recommend it for a fellow lefty. There are not that many LH auto loaders out there.

I have a left handed M2 as well thats how I could tell what it was. I like mine but am looking at maybe going to a right handed (because they dont make a LH) Benelli Vinci. Not 100% committed to it yet though

I am on the fence about going LH for an auto loader, I have a RH Breatta AL391, I feel like i am too used to loading that 4th shot on a flurry shoot, hold the gun up with the left hand while grabbing a shell and putting it in the chamber with my right..... It would be nice to not have casings fly in my face and have powder residue in my eyes. So I don't know what to think.

Post by: boots on January 30, 2011, 09:47:11 PM: Ive shot right handed pumps quite a bit but not RH autoloaders. Do you get lots of powder blowback in your eyes? I would hate to switch to a RH autoloader and regret getting rid of my M2

Post by: 270Shooter on February 01, 2011, 06:40:09 PM: I like my M2, it was getting pretty slow as the season went on because I never cleaned the recoil spring in the stock, but it is a very reliable gun, points well and is really light.

Mine seems to cycle slow sometimes too. So you clean the recoil spring in the buttstock to quicken it up?

Post by: h2ofowlr on February 03, 2011, 08:00:35 PM: I clean the recoil spring usually at the end of the season. I totally break the entire gun down and clean it good.

Yeah I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to do it soon, take the stock off, and take the trigger assembly out, clean the bolt and the recoil spring tube.
