Magazine Extensions

[Butch-M]

Been a while gentlemen ... a question for you:

 

What's the best route for extending the magazine capacity on an SBEII? I've been doing a little "Depredation Permit" deer culling in a shotgun only state and reloading after 4 kills cuts down on efficiency; particularly in the woods. I see some readily available "aftermarket" tubes that are inexpensive. Are they any good, or should a Benelli be bought. I bought a barrel from them once and it took forever to get.

 

Thanks!

Aftermarket is only way you can go! The ATF back in 2004 stopped Benelli from importing them due to 922R violation. Most all of the Benelli items are imported and not too many people carried these Benelli items to start with. I was lucky enough to get one of the last few my Benelli Dealer had and cost me 65.00. They are upwards of 250.00 dollars now and IMPOSSIBLE almost to find anymore.

I've been going nuts researching the available manufacturers. Nordic and SRM (Sure Cycle) seem to be coming up most often. These extensions get a lot of use with the snow geese crowd apparently. Now I'm trying to decide on which one. One thing, the Nordic barrel clamp looks stout.

I might have to take a break and get back into this tomorrow. Thanks again for the advise.
