Langenator Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I've been looking for a Nordic +1.5" mag tube extension cap since I think January...and I can't seem to find them in stock anywhere. Did Nordic stop making them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Moose Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Not sure what happened to the Nordic end caps, but The Shooters Source makes extended caps (+1, +2) for the Nordic MXT tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Now that they make extensions that handle +3 through +9, and every integer in between, I bet they don't see the need for a cap that essentially was allowing an additional round.

lc2hl Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I was told they were discontinued as production has switched to the new tubes. They seemed to frown upon the extension cap being used for an additional round. The new tube is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Have one made. The thread size is 1"-32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0kawn Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Just cancelled mine yesterday that was on order through Shooter's Connection since December. I actually forgot about it since it was 10 months ago. Was told back in January they were waiting to do a production run, which was scheduled for any time. Still nothing, so I'm going to a different tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Why sell an extension when you can sell a whole new tube for more $$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickB Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Roulette Tactical sells a 1.5" end cap. As for the Shooter's Source +1 and +2 extensions, they look to be a copy of the Roulette design... Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebraman Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Call Roulette Tactical. I sent them the old style Nordic Tube for measurements and thread size so I know he has the specs. He did make me a couple of things that would fit the old style tubes, and matched the diameters perfectly. The end caps he has on his website are for the Versa Max.

usmc1094 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 So the ones on Roulette Tacticals page are just for the versa max? Is the only way to order one for the old Nordic tubes is to call him? I have a 930 JM so I would need a old Nordic tube end cap right? Thanks for the help.

LikesToShoot Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) I was just on their site, http://www.roulettetactical.com/, and sent them a request for info. about a cap for our guns. Less than two min. later I got a call from them. He said they're make caps for the new style right now but plan to do a run of the old style near the end of the month. http://roulettetactical.com/ Edited September 4, 2013 by LikesToShoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc1094 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks for the heads up. After this weeks match I'll have plenty of time to wait for one since there isn't one in Oct. They seem like good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickB Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 The caps for the VersaMax also fit the new style Nordic MXT tubes. Glenn has the measurements to make the old style XXL caps. For the JM930, it depends on if the old style Nordic tube was used, or if Mossberg had the thread pattern on the end changed for whatever reason. I do believe Glenn has made caps for the Mossberg. Just call him and ask... Mick So the ones on Roulette Tacticals page are just for the versa max? Is the only way to order one for the old Nordic tubes is to call him?

MickB Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 What the XL and XXL caps did was allow people to tailor the fit of the magazine tube relative to the muzzle. Some people want exactly flush. Others want a little bit longer than the muzzle for protection during barrel dumps. In some cases, it MAY have allowed for an extra round in some applications... Mick Now that they make extensions that handle +3 through +9, and every integer in between, I bet they don't see the need for a cap that essentially was allowing an additional round.

Sgtsvi Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Contact Jeremy at theshootersource.com for one of his new ones. I installed one on my Nordic tube at Rock Castle and it worked great. They are very well made and come in two colors for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambluemax Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) The Nordic guys are local to me and shoot with our club....they told me the ext caps were prone to breaking. So they stopped making them. I haven't had a problem with mine (fingers crossed) Edited September 4, 2013 by ambluemax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickB Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Here is where the +1 and +2 end caps were first developed, BEFORE the MXT tubes were commercially available. At that time, they only came as OEM on the VersaMax Tactical; http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=156578&hl Mick Contact Jeremy at theshootersource.com for one of his new ones.
