daturk Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I bought a M2 with a plus 2 extension and a 18.5" barrel for home defense and want to maximize the shell capacity. I'm looking at a DMW extension. What is the biggest DWM extension that I can install on it without the extension sticking out past the end of the muzzle?

cksh8me Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 A plus 2 will be it you will have 7 rounds total in the tube when fully loaded. If you are going to shoot 3 gun with it get the 8 round tube and let it stick out past the muzzle. http://www.davesmetalworks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agm65ccip Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm completely with you on the +2, but I dont know that you can get 7 in. I have a +2 tube (granted not DMW) and it will comfortably put 5 in the tube and one in the chamber. If a really jam it I can barely get the 6th into the tube for the 7 you were talking about, but maybe your spring is a little more compact than mine...

It sounds like you have either a stock M2T... or another gun with an aftermarket 2 shot extension tube. An M2 Tactical, with the two shell extension that comes installed as original equipment, is a 5+1. If you remove that extension and replace it with a DMW 7+1, that adds two shells (or two more) to your previous capacity. Not pokin' atcha... just trying to "clarificate".

agm65ccip Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Are you referring to an M2T, or something else? I have an M2 field that I added a +2 to. Initially without the plug I could get 3 in the tube and one in the chamber. Now with the extension I can get 5 easily in the tube (6 like I said with difficulty and it barely makes it in) and one in the chamber. I didnt see if we were talking about a tactical or a field so I guess I assumed field even though he said it was for home defense. Now the tactical may be a little different, because like I said that 6th shell in the magazine is very close, another 1/8" and it would really be in so thats why I thought it might be a spring space or maybe DMW +2 is a tad longer than the Choate +2 I got. Clarification is always a good idea lest we be talking about two different guns and not know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I had a feeling you were talking about a M2 field. Getting a 6th shell into a stock M2 tactical is a non-starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
