I have close to 10 different Nordic Components tube extensions for 4 different shotguns. Never an issue.
I also have tried Xrail single tubes, but because the tubes can be changed between the guns as long as the collar matches the gun type and those +2 extension add-ons can be useful, so that is why I prefer Nordic Components stuff. |

Thanks! I was looking at Nordic. Somewhere Beretta probably makes one, but I'd rather have something that works flawlessly.

This is the Nordic on a 24" 1301. With extended choke tubes it is about flush. It will take 10 so its a plus 5 I think.

Perfect, thanks!
My parts came in, and now I'm just wondering where to start with the Nordic spring and follower vs. stock. They say start with 16" past the end of the tube with their spring, but I also see people reusing stock springs on some shorter extensions, and also some using the Nordic spring clipped to 12" past the end of the tube. I see that the stock plastic tube cap which underlies the old Beretta barrel nut is basically expected to be tossed aside...they knew these would have extensions added for sure. ** Any advice for those that have 1301's and Nordics components on trimming the spring length to avoid feed issues? ** Thanks, Dave |

I first trimmed it to their recommendations. Then I started clipping to reduce loading pressure until the last shell does not have much pressure at all on it when feeding. No problems so far. I did buy a new one as insurance, just in case.

Thanks! I started at 12" past extension, and right away started trimming. Still seems a bit harsh.
Will find the failure point and add an inch to a newly clipped spring and see how that goes I think. Anyone change the from sight bead out for something more high vis yet? |

I just snapped a magnetic HiViz on there.

How long of a tube did you buy?
The 12 round tube has become the norm. I don't trim anything off the standard Nordic spring in that tube. Nordic now has the stiffer springs available. If follower their recommendations on trimming. Those guys are all into 3-gun. They know what works. A spring will shrink or set quite fast. So start long and practice loading a bunch to soften it up. The number one cause of malfunctions on a shotgun is a weak mag spring. Keep an extra in your bag at all times. Take note if how hard/far the last shells comes out if your tube with a brand new spring and monitor that. Once it starts showing a change get a new spring. |

I have two MXT tubes now. One holds 10 rounds and the other holds 14 rounds. My 1301 has a 24" barrel.
