Bimmer Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have a 28" barrel for my M2, so I'm looking for an extension to fit... Nordic's "8B" would be perfect, but it seems to be out of production and unavailable. Yes, I have an e-mail into Nordic's customer service. I have a Nordic extension (5B) to go with my 21" barrel, so I'd like to stick with Nordic, but I'm open to other ideas. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJoeShooting Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Why not use MOA? More affordable and works perfectly fine. If I were you I'd just get the longest tube they have since it saves you the step of buying a +8 then deciding you want more and buying a +10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I backordered one from Brownells last week, then they updated my order and cancelled that item, because it was discontinued. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up: I just ordered it. RE: MOA... I know it shouldn't be a big deal, but I really think the mag tube should be about as long as the barrel. I don't understand the "underbite" mag tube extending past the barrel (why not run a longer barrel?!), and having the mag end up 1-1/2" shorter than the barrel would bug me, too.

TonytheTiger Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Are you using the gun to shoot competitively? If you're trying to win you'll forget all about aesthetics in short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much magazine capacity is rarely an issue in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 No, there's no 3-gun competitions around here, so if I "compete," then it's a friendly round of trap... Capacity isn't a big deal. Pragmatically, a 28" barrel is handy for shooting clay pigeons or hunting, but anything beyond that is impractical in terms of transporting it and swinging it.
