mcb Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 So after much searching I gave up and made a magazine extension for my Browning BPS Stalker. When it's all said and done I have a +5 magazine extension giving the BPS a capacity of 10 rounds (9 in the mag +1 in the chamber). Now I know with Standard division the rules say 9 rounds maximum with only 8 in the magazine. So do I have to plug my tube so I can never load more than 8 rounds in the magazine? Or is this just a capacity limitation for the start of the stage? Not a big deal but I want to make sure I understand the rules. Thanks mcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Just load 9, there is no capacity limit, just a limit on how many you can load.-------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Payne Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Tri-gun Challenge rule 6.6.7 Shotgun may only hold 9 rounds maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are limited to no more than nine rounds in the gun at any time during the course of fire. Exceed it --- welcome to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFooter Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I would say it depends on where you plan to shoot. Mine will hold 9+1+1 but it's currently plugged due to the matches I shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Thanks guys, I made a plug just incase. Without the plug it will hold 9+1 with the plug 8+1. I will just ask at the matches what their particular rules are. mcb ETA: for a picture and more detail on how I made it here: http://mcb-homis.livejournal.com/43154.html Edited July 28, 2006 by mcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Smith Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) It does depend on where you shoot ! IPSC standard division says load only 9 in the gun at the start (8 for option 2 & 3 starts) but once the course of fire begins after the "beep" you can load as many as your gun will hold.

mwx40x40 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 You are right. It depends on where you shoot. There are a lot of outlaw 3-gun(non-USPSA) matches out there. I have an 1100 that had a + 5 tube on it . I always shoot Limited or Tact and it always caused a stir. I finally put a shorter tube on it. BTW. I really like the info on the BPS mag tube. I have an A-5 I would like to try that on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
