genieinthelamp Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I am interested in one as well. Please PM me or advise how I can acquire one. Thanks! Quote
eedave Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I purchased one of these extended tubes from Joe and finally got around to installing it today. The process went smoothly and I am VERY pleased with the quality and finish of the tube. Money well spent. Quote
SOCOMguy Posted March 15, 2009 Author Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks to all who have ordered. Orders have been coming in at an almost overwhelming rate. I have begun a new batch of tubes this week so I will have new tubes ready very soon. At this point, please place your order now so that you will be guaranteed a tube once they are completed. Time to completion for this next batch is about 2 weeks from today. Thanks! Joe Quote
tdaggett Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Asking 1 more time: Do you make one for the SBE II? I've got a cheap one but its one piece and just replaces the mag cap. Have to change tubes to hunt. If you make a tube with a cap and limiter plug for the SBE II, I'd be VERY interested. Quote
ERdept Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Socom guy. Still happy with my extension. Gets lots of questions too and stares. I feel it's the most functional thing I've done to it besides the larger charge handle. Glad this has turned into a cottage industry for you. Anyone on the fence, just buy it. Buy once, cry once.

Guest bimmerz_vn Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I would like to order a mag extension for it in a matching color. Do you make these in the desert tan color and if so is it a perfect match? Also I live in California. Are these legal in California as is? Meaning if I just slap one on am I good to go or do I have to have a certain amount of us parts if I do the conversion? If they are legal in cali, and you do make them in desert tan color, I would like to order one asap! Just tell me where and how to send the money. Thanks !!! Quote
SOCOMguy Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 To the gentleman who asked, I do not make SBE tubes, only M4 m1014 tubes. I can do the matching desert tan finish. It is a perfect match. Please e-mail me if you would like to order one. I do the tan ones on a per order basis meaning I would require payment before I began making one. Thanks all! Joe Quote
m4p226n Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 If you would make +2 mag tube extensions for the M4 you would have a hard time keeping up with orders. Make a perfect Ti +2 tube for my Benelli M4 and name your price my friend. You may wonder why I don't buy the solid extension tube, as high quality as it appears to be. The reason is very simple. I do not want to take a heat gun to my shotgun. All I want to do is take off the silly round-limiting factory extension and replace it with a +2 extension tube. If I could find one in the market, I'd buy it right now but I can't so I'm wondering when you'll tap this enormous market. Thanks, Greg Quote
SOCOMguy Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 I always thought about making just +2 extensions but there are already so many sources for those I could not compete. Most people who buy the +2's don't care about quality and will usually buy the cheap ones anyway. Titanium tubes are nice but rather over rated about the weight issue. Yes they weight half of the regular tube and if someone likes that idea then they will buy it. I wanted to make the tube to factory specs or better so I kept the aircraft grade steel construction. My tubes have no machine marks and look as smooth a finish as the barrel to match. You actually don't have to use a heat gun to install a full tube. The heat does make it easier and it will not harm your gun in anyway. I actually use a propane torch on the threads for about 10-15 seconds to to soften the loctite then turn it off. I grab the gun by the tube in a vise using a leather wrap to get a good grip without damaging the factory tube then I grab the receiver with my hand and turn. This setup will work without heat but keep in mind it will be tough so to get leverage I use the CLUB anti-auto theft device and use the forked end to slip over the receiver to turn it off. Don't worry, get a full-tube. You will like it much more in every way. Quote
m4p226n Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 SOCOM, thank you for the feedback and ideas. Yes, I would much rather have a full tube and I imagine that's the direction I'm eventually going to go. Have a great week. Quote
SOCOMguy Posted March 28, 2009 Author Posted March 28, 2009 Not a problem. Glad I could help. I have begun building the next batch of tubes this weekend. Should be done within this next week. Thanks to all who have placed and sent in thier order! Joe Quote
SOCOMguy Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Benelli M4 tubes will be ready soon! You can place orders now or stay tuned for the completion date. Thanks all! Joe Quote
c-hawk Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 What is the reason these tubes won't work on a 11707 M4? Thanks Chris Quote
Duggan Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 What is the reason these tubes won't work on a 11707 M4? Thanks Chris They do work on all models of m4. He was merely saying they won't work for SBE's and the like. Quote
SOCOMguy Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks Duggan. Yes these work for any M4 or M1014 variant. No problem! Joe Quote
SOCOMguy Posted April 7, 2009 Author Posted April 7, 2009 Finished construction of the tubes today. Just need to get coated now. Should be ready next week! Joe Quote
pb_m3 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Just sent you (OP) an email for ETA and payment address. ETA? Thanks Quote
LeoAtrox Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I'd very much like one of these tubes in black. E-mail on its way. Quote
SOCOMguy Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 Tubes back in stock tomorrow! Thanks all and have a great weekend. Joe Quote
SOCOMguy Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 Back in stock! Ready for shipping! Thanks! Joe Quote
