Was all set to buy a Nova H20 ...

And then I find out the mag extensions are not available.

 

So I start searching and I find places on the net that sell aftermarket ones ... but NONE that are nickel plated to match the stinkin gun

 

Found one company that makes em outta stainless and figure I COULD remove the black finish and polish it up to look like nickel plate ... BUT

 

Is it illegal to add a mag extension onto a Benelli , PERIOD ?

 

I'm bummed ... I'd been debating between this gun and a Remington 870 Marine Magnum and decided I really liked the Benelli better , but the one I like better is the one they advertise on there site showing the mag extension.

 

Illegal to add an extension ???

[Petre]

no one has the answer to this ?

Not illegal, unless it violates local or state laws.

Are you sure of this ... I'm being told over at the "firing Line" Forums that it's illegal because it violates the 10 imported part rule ... thus even adding a USA Made Mag extension is illegal.
