mjc1677 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I am currently building an Open 1100 and was wondering if it is ok to use a 12rnd mag tube in USPSA 3 gun? I know you can not have 12 rounds loaded but is there any limit on the mag tube itself? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENE S Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 As per US Appendix D-1 (shotgun) there is no length for the tube, but 10 + 1 is what I have heard is all that you may load. In action steel shooting I have seen some tubes that were very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillL223 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Current USPSA rules allow a max 10 round tube plus one in the chamber. Prior to 2002, Open permitted any tube length. Some gamers, have their old tubes and use them to advantage in non USPSA matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azone41 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 From the way I read it. There is no tube length restriction just a 10+1 loading restriction in the rulebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 In Open, put any length tube on you want, just don't stuff more than ten in it. -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhurd Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 that's why they call it open? stupid rule. i have a 15 round tube and should be able to use it to it's capacity. And they wonder why more shooters don't play the game...... TO MANY DUMB RULES! THey should rename the DIvision "Restricted Hi-Tech" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc1677 Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Thanks for the help. I think I will just get a 10rnd because after putting the 12rnd tube on, it sticks out 1.5" past my 28" barrel and I don't need to make it any longer. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamGE Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 USPSA rules for Open, maximum, 11 rounds in the gun at any time. International Multi Gun rules for Open, no limit on tube length or round count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cking Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 That's like tactical saying a 20 inch barrel but my tube can extend past it. Then why can't my barrel be longer. Same doors it has to fit through! Open should be open, and darn then you want to shoot that is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
