9 rounds in an M1?

[Newaza]

How do you load 9 rounds into an M1 Super 90, if the mag only holds 7? Do you load the extra round into the lifter area? If so, do you do this by loading it though the ejection port? Can you carry the shotgun around like this for a long period of time, or is it something that should only be done immediately before firing?

I don't know if you can do that with m1's, but thats how you do it with m4's.

 

You can leave a shell in the lifter for awhile, it won't damage anything being in there.

its really and older anti jam feature on the Benellis that have a single notch on the bottom of the bolt,,if you have two then you would have to fill in the one closest to the rear ,,the little one

[M1014]

load up the tube,,then slowly pull back the bolt,just enough to get one on the lifter and one in the chamber,then close the bolt and there you have it 999999999999999999

I wouldn't do it....you could jam it that way and then you have a one shot before the jam.....if 7 rounds won't do....then you have issues

Thaks for the replies. Honestly, I am just curious if it will work. I don't plan to carry it that way. To have it jam on the second shot when the SHTF would be a nightmare...

Speaking only w/respect to the M1014/M4, if the Marine Corps manual for this weapon is any indication, the military doesn't consider it a risky operation:

 

 

That being said, the only feed problem I have ever experienced with the M4 was with a floated round (only once). As has been indicated in posts by others, it would appear that you need to take care to push the shell to the rear of the carrier as far as possible.
