Recently I've really gotten into shooting 3 gun. My bone stock Beretta A400 shoots great but just doesn't have the capacity or a wide enough loading port to get em in there quickly.
I got extremely lucky and picked up a Walmart versa max when they were on clearance. Finally got some time to get into the machine shop and turn it into a competition gun.
Lowered and beveled the loading port, one piece 12 round magazine tube, compression spacer (the tube nut transfers force to the handguard and holds the barrel in), I had the lifter welded and polished to get rid of the thumb grabbing fork, oversized bolt close button.
Aluminum shell follower and tube cap to come, compression spacer will eventually get a cut out honeycomb treatment for aesthetics and to reduce weight. I also have an oversized bolt handle that needs to be modified a bit.
