Variants
The Stoeger M3000 comes in a competition ready configuration, titled the "M3K." This firearm comes with an oversized bolt release button, and an oversized charging handle. The action, receiver, and all other internal components are identical to the M3000's. The M3K comes equipped with a ribbed barrel, bead sight, synthetic butt stock, and a synthetic handguard. The "tactical" variant comes standard with ghost ring sights, a picatinny rail mounted to the receiver, and a breaching choke. The synthetic furniture on the tactical configuration features M-LOK slots on the handguard, and a buttstock that resembles the Magpul SGA series. In regions that restrict the use of semi-automatic shotguns, the Stoeger M3000 can be imported in a straight-pull configuration.
