Capt_C Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I recently purchased a 21-in M2 field gun, and last weekend removed the plug installed at the factory which was limiting the round capacity to 3-shells (1-chamber, 2-in the mag tube). I just installed a NordicComp +5 magazine, which I thought would fit flush to the muzzle of the 21-in M2 barrel... turns out the M2 barrel is actually 20.5-in from breech-face to muzzle, and the +5 mag tube extends beyond the muzzle around 7/8-in. This is not an issue as the mag-tube extending beyond the barrel muzzle slightly under 1-inch isn't (shouldn't be) a problem. I may elect to install an extended choke tube anyway... Nordic Comp specs indicate that the +5 mag extension would bring the gun to 8+1 capacity, which turns out to be correct. I was hoping to reach a total capacity of 10, but just because 10 sounds like a good 'round number' (pun intended). Oddly, though, if the gun was 4+1 w/o the plug, and then you add a +5 extension, it seems like it would increase to 4+5+1 = 10 rounds, total. Any thoughts or input based on experience would be appreciated. Thanks... Capt_C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
