ISMI mag tube springs - how much do I cut off?

[Fullauto_Shooter]

I'm putting a new ISMI mag tube spring in my Rem 1100CM and wanted to know what length I should cut the oversize ISMI mag tube spring down to? I asked the same question earlier about a Benelli M2 and was told I should cut it so that it extends 12" to 13" past the end of the tube - does this same length also apply for the Rem 1100CM?

Did a search and couldn't find this specfic topic discussed for the Rem Shotgun.

Thanks,

Doug

We use the ISMI springs in our Nordic Extensions and recomend 10 to 16 inches longer than the entire tube assy. So you are on the right track.

I would suggest to start at the longer number and work your way down

For my 1100 and M2.. I didn't cut it at all and tried that.. worked fine so I left it.

The only downside, with the longer Noridic tube... I lose just enough room so I only get 10 in the mag tube instead of 11.

WIth the normal tactical tube, cut or uncut, the mag tube still holds 8.
