mxpatriot51 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Going to put a tube on my new Benelli 21'' M2 to get it up to 8+1 for tactical class and trying to decide on which tube I want to put on it. So, which tube do you run, which one would you buy (if different than what you're running now), and why?

BayouSlide Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I just got my new-to-me M1 Super 90 Field this week. Right out of the box I added the +5 Nordic and a Limbsaver Speed Mount Pad and was good to go. No experience with the DMW product but the Nordic is really topnotch: nicely designed, perfect feed and fit. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I use a DMW on my 1100. When I bought it, Nordic did not exist. It has been just fine. Neither one forum dealers so take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLG8R Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 No experience with DMW, but only positive and super service with Tim and Nordic components!!! Have a +5 and tube clamp on my M1, no problems and run great. Look great as well, which is probably most important Nordic supports the sport too!

fastshooter03 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 My new Nordic Tube runs fine especially with their follower. Plus I have the option of adding a few rounds just by screwing on an extenion. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cksh8me Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've had a DMW tube on my M1 for a number of years now it hasn't given me a bit of trouble. I put one on my M2 and no problems either. Color, fit, strong, and light enough. I'd buy another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I checked out the DMW tubes in the vendor tent at the Steel Challenge. They looked to be top notch. I don't think you can go wrong with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hostetter Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have used Daves Metal Works shotgun parts, including his magazine tubes for many, many years. They have worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccur Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have Nordic's tubes on my 1100 and our Browning gold...they are awesome from the first minute!! I just got a follower for my 1100 from Tim and it too is a great fit. Tim and Jarmul and Grant have great customer service. Love those guys Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactustactical Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 As someone who has used and sold both companies items, my recommendationwoud be to go with the Nordic tubes. They are lighter in weight and the threaded end cap allows easy cleaning of the tube without removing it. Nordic warranty service is top notch if you happen to have any issues with a product also.

Larry White Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have used both and they both are good products. The Nordic tubes are better finished and the screw off cap is a handy touch. Nordic if I have a choice.-------------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelli2 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've used both and several others over the years of playing this game, and currently I would say Nordic tops the list, they have great products, great people, continue to make the products better, expanding to new things we want and greatest influence is the constant level of sponsorship and support they provide at the matches. We gotta support the folks out there contributing out of their pockets to support our prize tables and shooters. I use their tubes, have the 10/22 conversion package and have happily paid for everybit of it, and recommend it to any asking. No slight meant against any other vendor but Tim and the crowd are out their working the matchs, running side matches, raffles and the like in support of the shooters, gotta love 'em jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Wheaton Jr Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I could not have said it better. Support those that support our sport. Tim at Nordic is great to work with. I also have their Plus 5 tube and clamp on my M2 and could not be happier. It has been flawless is light weight and looks cool. It is a perfect match for a 21" barrel. Install and clip the mag spring to about ten inches past the end of the barrel and forget about it. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVI4ME Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Had chote tube on my Beneilli Practical and it would choke all the time. Put a Nordic +5 on it and has not stumbled since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skorittnig Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I was fortunate to speak with Tim (from Nordic) today- incredibly nice guy and very knowledgeable! I placed an order, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! skorittnig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Nordic tubes are aluminum and therefore lighter than the DMW's. I've run Dave's tubes with no problems. Some of the earlier Nordic tubes had a different threading pitch which made them a little thin. I've seen two of these tubes crack right at the thread. To Tim's credit, he replaced those tubes with a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
