Ordered a Nordic Components 1301 specific tube extensions from a Canadian retailer and did not come with the appropriate plug to make it legal to install.
Hoping someone on here is able to share pictures of what their extension look like with the plug installed and ideally the length of the plug so I can get an idea of what I need to ask of a gunsmith to make for me.
 
A 5" bolt was long enough for the Benelli N/SN tubes I used on my 1301Ts (it's 1/2" longer) so 4.5" will likely be what you need. I'd ask Tacord since they undoubtedly know the answer. If you figure something out yourself keep in mind that not all shells are the same length.

Contact Casey @ Tactical Ordnance he can help you out in some way I have no doubt. He has a plug that he installs on all outgoing SG that the TO team install when purchasing from them, perhaps he can sell you the plug & the end piece

If you can run a saw; I epoxied a piece of wood (cut to length piece of broom handle) in place. Can throw it in there loose to to ensure you have the correct length, and once you do, JB Weld. Way lighter than steel if that matters.

Not good enough. Here is the rule.

"(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;"

Since I bought an extension specifically marked as being for a manually operated firearm and there exists a specific product from the same company for the 1301 is it legal to run it as is? This question must have been answered before but I can't find much from any reliable sources. A purely speculative question...

For those who toss and turn at night thinking that the brown shirts are going to inspect the material of the plug permanently installed, substitute an aluminum piece of broom handle cut with a hack saw. I personally will continue to sleep perfectly well at night with a piece of hickory substituted for metal.

I just posted the relevant information. If your gun ends up in their hands as part of any charges they absolutely will check. If you also read between the lines there I am not losing any sleep over how many shells my semi-auto shotgun holds.

Fair enough, sounds like we're on the same page. I'm of the opinion that if you don't go looking for trouble, you very rarely find it.
As for the question you posed re the mag tubes from a manual shotgun used on a semi; is the tube labelled as for a manual firearm? If not, would make using the handgun magazine in a rifle argument difficult, as that is always the first point to that, labelled as a pistol mag. Interesting question.

Exactly. You aren't modifying the existing tube and all the parts are specifically marketed for other manually operated firearms. On top they have a distinct one for the semi-auto, also specifically marketed. One could argue "all semi-auto shotguns are limited to 5 rounds of the longest she'll it is designed for" but that's not the case either with the apparent acceptance of the pump-action Turkish mags being used in whatever semis. Clear as mud.

That's kind of irrelevant, if I needed everything to be corrosion resistant, fully finished and mil-spec, the odds are I wouldn't be worried about mag cap in the first place.

Our magtubes are machined from solid 4140HTST steel same stuff as you gun barrle is made from
It is thrn controlled gas nitride. And then the outside is pained wirh high heat cerakote and baked.
We ðont cerakote the inside as it's not needed and allows for a smoother finish.
I'd go so far to say our magtubes are the best on the market.
