Hi Folks,

I wanted to get some insight first into this before I move forward in purchasing.

I have a lead into getting a mag extension for my Benelli M2 Tac. It's one of those accessories that have been on the must have list, but almost unobtainable or to find.

The extension is a tacstar plus 3. That being the case, with the M2 setup as a 5 + 1 for 2.75 shells, with the extension it would be 8 + 1, is there anyway to plug this thing so it complies with legislation so I don't end up doing hard time? Do I even need to plug it? 5 + 1 with 3" shells would now be possible with the extension.

Thoughts? Blast away....
 
You cannot exceed 5 rounds of the largest size shotshell your shotgun is designed for (ie. 3" chamber cannot load 5 or more shells, but can load 6+ 2.75" shells) does that make sense?.

What myself and another CGN-er has done before is drill a hole in the front of the extension, thread a bolt is that limits the capacity to 5 3" shells (may want to leave a little clearance) loctite a nut in behind the bolt on the inside and tada, you are done.

ITs True.

I did the tube mod to these semis...was it worth it? Sure. PS ignore the M4 Shorty.


 
It should be permanent, so bolt+ loctite is illegal - you need to weld it.

Where did you hear this from?.

As for me? I actually called the CFAC and put our tax dollars to work.

The principal is the same as a rivet in a regular cap mag. Just like the loctite bolt, it's not permanent, but it is difficult to reverse and that is what they are looking for.

I was just confirming this with "Mike" the "technician in Ottawa" I was transferred to when you call the 731-4000 number.

It confirms what both FrankieT and I believe, if the shotgun is designed for 3" and 2 3/4"

"If you can fit 5x 3" rounds into the tube, outside of that, we don't care"

He went on to talk about 40 S&W mags working in 9mm guns etc. as an example of smaller rounds fitting in magazine designed for larger calibers.

"Mike" also confirmed that drilling a hole in the +2 extension adding a bolt and gluing the nut inside the extension is legal.

"Modification to the magazine body is considered more permanent, which is what we look for if we were asked. If it takes tools and effort to remove and not something easily undone, it would be compliant not like something like an inline block where you could dis-assemble and it would fall out. If you drilled a hole in the extension tube and glued the nut on the inside as you described, that is considered a modification to the magazine body. "

For the record, this was technicians name was "Mike from Ottawa" he was very courteous and friendly. I don't know why people don't call the CFP number more often... It's there, we should use it.

I hope that helps answer any of the questions surrounding the blocking of extensions that anyone may have.

Now go forth to Simon at S&J and make your purchases!!
