I'd like to install a magazine tube extension on my Beretta 1301 .
As its semi-automatic it needs to be permanently blocked so the gun will hold no more then the legal 5 3" shells while installed.
How are people accomplishing this in Canada and still meeting the regulations?
I was thinking a large wood dowel and epoxy it in the end.
Any other ideas?
 
I used an aluminum rod I turned to a nice fit and used JB weld to secure it into the tube and put some on the threads of the end cap. It isn’t coming out without destroying the tube. It’s a Nordic Components tube
 
how are you buying the semi auto extension in the first place? would it not be banned device itself unless it entered the country pre pinned..
 
They are just a tube till you put it on a gun. Most manufacturers use the same threads for their pump guns and semi’s. If you put it on a pump gun it could be 6 feet long. It’s only once you put it on a semi that round count matters
 
Yes exactly they are available and have to be pinned before attaching to the gun. Which is my plan.
I like the aluminum rod idea. If you look at the exact regulation it states that if a magazine is metal it should be pinned with something metal.

The Nordic Components ext has a hole in the capped end in which you can put a Allen bolt through it and have it thread into an aluminum finger. That's how Mr. Casey at Tacord set up mine.

i cut down 2 empty shell and hot glue them full, grind them to size, and jb weld them in the tube, and jb weld the cap also, worked fine

My Mossberg 940 JM Pro came with delrin plastic pieces to limit the capacity, one at each end of the mag tube extension. Seems like a simple solution using lightweight pieces.

THE 1301 Tactical comes with those as well from the factory, this solution is for an aftermarket mag tube extension.
 
You guys are confusing mag limits for hunting and firearms act mag limits.

Plugs/plastic good to go for hunting not so much for firearms act. The law also tells you how to do it:

(4) A cartridge magazine described in subsection (1) that has been altered or re-manufactured so that it is not capable of containing more than five or ten cartridges, as the case may be, of the type for which it was originally designed is not a prohibited device as prescribed by that subsection if the modification to the magazine cannot be easily removed and the magazine cannot be easily further altered so that it is so capable of containing more than five or ten cartridges, as the case may be.

(5) For the purposes of subsection (4), altering or re-manufacturing a cartridge magazine includes

(a) the indentation of its casing by forging, casting, swaging or impressing;

(b) in the case of a cartridge magazine with a steel or aluminum casing, the insertion and attachment of a plug, sleeve, rod, pin, flange or similar device, made of steel or aluminum, as the case may be, or of a similar material, to the inner surface of its casing by welding, brazing or any other similar method; or

(c) in the case of a cartridge magazine with a casing made of a material other than steel or aluminum, the attachment of a plug, sleeve, rod, pin, flange or similar device, made of steel or of a material similar to that of the magazine casing, to the inner surface of its casing by welding, brazing or any other similar method or by applying a permanent adhesive substance, such as a cement or an epoxy or other glue.

So...yeah...exactly what the rest of this thread has said. Permanently fix the plug into your extension and you're good to go.

I had a Benelli 121-M1 with the factory 8 round magazine that was pinned through the drain hole. That pin had been in there since the 90's and didn't show any sign of falling out.
