Can the magazine tubes be shortened a couple of rounds?
Whether you're a greenhorn or a seasoned veteran, your collection's next piece is at Bass Pro Shops. Shop Now.
The ten(10) round versions were on the 99M1 and M75. they extended just far enough past the stock forend for access for reloading....they made a 10 round one too but I have never seen one...
Just a problem I have with not being able to leave things as is.I'm not sure why you would want to.
The tube magazine is attached to the barrel with a pinned band into a dovetail slot on the underside of the barrel.
You would need a new dovetail cut to attached a shortened magazine tube.
If you are shortening the tube, you will need to shorten the inner tube and spring. If this isn't done right, you could introduce feed problems.
