Nordic 6+1 ext tube for Benelli M2

[Nimitz]

I recently installed a Nordic 6+1 ext on my M2 but can only load 8 shells in the magazine. The ninth only goes in about 1/2" or so. About how much should I cut off the spring to enable the 9th shell to load?

are you sure the magazine spring is not binding on the shell follower?

Did you cut the spring to about 14"-16" past the end of the tube?

I cut about 12 inches off mine. There are several posts on this also.

You can also change out the end cap on the tube for an extended one, I believe the standard extended tail cap gives you another 3/4" and the XXL gives you 1.5"

I have Nordic's low drag follower so i don't think that's the issue. the spring is at 14' per their directions but it looks like it needs to be more like 12" ... I'll do a search on teh forum as well, thx

Per Benny Hills post somewhere in here.....Cut it at 12" longer than the mag. Some are running them down to about 7" over. I cut my +7 tube off right at 12" over and 10 fit without a problem.
