Not sure if I’ll do any betterI feel your pain, and I was using a shotgun lol
Lol. This is going to get expensive......Mission accomplished
LolI am going to start a go fund me page for you. This was the highlight of my day.
I like it, improvisation at its finest!Hahaha glad the laundry cart gave you a chuckle. It actually wasn't too bad, might have to add some gun holders to make it a little more official.

Just know this; Benelli and Browning are not open on Fridays.
So, stay away from their Thursday guns?
Well, Benelli makes their Stoeger line on Fridays. Just make sure you get one built before lunch. Stay completely away from the Mossberg 930 because those guys smoke weed before work and drink everyday at lunch. Ask me how I know.
I came here looking for shotgun purchase advice. Now you have me wondering how one would go about applying for a job at this factory, sounds like a different work environment then the norm. Asking for a friend
You're not wrong about buying reliable guns the first time. I am not sure I agree quite as much about better guns and gear not providing advantages even to novice shooters; if you're shooting a shotgun, there's kind of a minimum floor of having a reliable semi-auto and a belt setup for loading twins/quads. Even Josh, who was a friggin' beast loading that 1301 from a side saddle, would have picked up a lot of time if he had a twins rig on his belt and a day or two of practice. Similarly, shooting rifle fast without a comp is simply much harder than with it. Both of those things made a real difference to me when I implemented them, and definitely boosted my placement (which wasn't great, but was better than last time). You won't buy your place at the top, but mediocre gear will hold you back.
The one thing I will say for the Stoeger M3K is that they are generally reliable out of the box with 1 1/8 loads and you can send it off to MOA Precision and get it tuned/upgraded pretty nicely for a few hundred bucks. I watched both dudes in my squad with JM Pro 930s have issues today, which is pretty much in line with every time I've seen someone run a 930 hard at a match or class.
One other consideration is that maintenance is a real thing. If you are running your guns in really cold weather, you NEED to lube them well, preferably with a cold weather-rated lubricant. I've started making a habit of slapping some lube on my guns before a range outing of any sort, and I have not been disappointed. I'm not going to overclean stuff, but lube is life when running guns hard in tough conditions.
The three combined are fun to have and look at
The right guns and gear are definitely important. Maybe I was a bit unclear in my rambling. This is what I meant.
I don’t shoot any better or that much faster with my 2011 than I did with my XDm 5.25, even though the 2011 cost 3 times as much.
I am only marginally faster with my Benelli M2 than I was with my JM Pro; mostly because the M2 never jams. I have 2 1/2 time into that M2 than what I had into the JM Pro.
The Vortex Razor I replaced my Vortex Viper with doesn’t give me any discernible advantage despite costing 3 times as much.
The three combined are fun to have and look at, but the return on investment at my level of skill is just not that much.

A shooter that buys a reliable gun and a $1000 of ammo and practices regularly will beat a shooter that spends the extra $1000 on a gun and can’t afford to practice any day.
Some of the most competitive shooters at AGC are shooting run of the mill M&Ps, Glocks, or CZs with M3Ks and a nothing special AR.
