1911top Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I don't know if anyone has checked GB lately, but an oem +2 mag extender sold for $800+ last night! - i guess one could make the argument if you're trying to do a mod with all original factory parts etc. that the price is justified because there aren't that many around and that's what they go for...but when it comes to functionality, after market mag extenders work just as well right? I think i know the answer, but when i see something like that auction i just wanna make sure i'm not missing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 There is absolutely no reason to pay that much for a factory extension when you can get a higher quality, stronger aftermarket full length tube for around $200. Being made of "all factory parts" does nothing for you legally either, it actually can only hurt you. So no, you're not missing anything, some people are just retarded.

I just ordered a new titanium tube. I feel like I'm takin' a little back from da' man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakerfreak602 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Personally I prefer the +2 oem Benelli extension, not to get anyone riled up. I could see paying like 150-250 for a +2 ext on GB. Are you sure it was not the oem full length tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behindenemylines Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 why a new full length tube when a +2 extension is cheaper and easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggan Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 why a new full length tube when a +2 extension is cheaper and easier? We are talking about "factory" +2 extensions, not aftermarket. The factory extensions sell on ebay for $500+ at times. They are not worth half this. And the full length tube is just a cleaner, stronger, better look. It gives your m4 the natural capacity that it was meant to have, not a "look at me I've been de-nutered" look like an extension tube does. That's not a +2, but it's the same idea.

Mr Benelli Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I would say that the tac star mag extension is just as good as all of the others out there. I have shot the heck out of mine and never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shot the heck out of mine and never had a problem. It's a simple, single piece of metal ... how much trouble would you really expect it to give you? So long as it's made to spec and threaded properly, it doesn't really matter what it's made of or who makes it as far as functionality is concerned ... what you pay extra for is shape, finish and weight savings, and to some degree strength and simplicity. That said, I'm sure the tac star's work just fine. I've never seen one in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
