Genelang, you may be talking about the built in limit in the gape of the 311 which is there on purpose to prevent your shells from falling out when you carry it open. That's a pretty handy feature IMHO, and I wouldn't try to change it. There is a way to do something with the cocking rods to allow the 311 to gape fully open...Geo
