Someone I know grabbed a new, semi auto 12 gauge.
There's videos of this same shotgun being modified for home defense use.
Exact mag tube extension, pictured below.
The mag tube, where the nut holds the forend on, is peined over on it's entire inner diameter, to hold the spacer and tube spring from flying out (at least that's my guess?)
The video states to "cut off" 2 threads, which would eliminate the "pein" and then allow swapping the follower, the spring, and also allowing the extra shells to easily clear that (now gone) obstruction. I am a "mechanic", so that idea doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
My (potential) method is going to be to use a carbide bit, and remove the peined over section, which would not lose any threads/length, of the existing tube, if that makes sense?
Just wondering if there's any feedback/thoughts from anyone who has actually done this modification.
And I am hopeful, that this thread doesn't somehow get turned into a cooking, or oil change thread, lol.
p.s. The mag tube extension is getting installed no matter what. I'm not concerned about voided warranty.
