Greetings, and M1 magazine question

Recommended Posts

Hello Team,

  Long time lurker first time poster.  Great Forum!

Here's the current situation:  I have an M1 Super90 which I believe to be the "Tactical" or "Defense" version.  It has the pistol grip stock, 18.5" barrel (with no provisions for choke), the magazine tube is one piece, i.e: not extended in anyway, nor is there a cap on the end of the tube, and it holds seven 2.75" rounds.  It runs like a champ and I love it, with one exception. 

Here's the problem:  I'm using this shotgun in local Multi-Gun matches and I'm just getting into quad loading. It sure would be nice if the tube held 8 rounds :).  I'm hesitant to go any further as the magazine would stick out too far past the short barrel, plus with the stages we run anymore capacity isn't needed.

Here's the question:  Could I use a 4-shot tube from a "Standard" M1 or M2 or any other model for that matter, then add an extension to get to my 8 round capacity?  Is there a more elegant solution?

  Any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The older HK imports with the one piece tube have different threads into the receiver than later versions and M2's.  Me, I'd go with what I got there (I've got two of those older versions).  RCI, the x-rail folks, used to make higher cap one-piece tubes for the older guns but I think they quit making them.  You could check with them.
