Look at options for Nordic magazine extensions from them - you WILL pay a premium for a UK supplier to do it for you

Brownells have whole magazines but not screw on extensions like Nordics. MidwayUK doesn't carry any either which suggests that they aren't available. All of the US shooting forums i've looked at say you cannot extend the magazine, you have to replace the whole thing AND the barrel. All of the replacement barrels i've seen are the 18" 'home defense' models which are illegal in this country.

A bit annoying but it was a bargain! It's a start & it'll get me some reloading practice

Once I have the funds I'll be looking to get a Benelli M2

I know a Glasgow RFD with a 24" rifle sighted barrel - think he was after about £100 or so for it, would have to check...he's not cheap (but nowhere near Rogers prices )

...pity

It may be cheaper to have the bracket removed & re-attached (they are brazed on) & a longer factory tube fitted

Good man! Starting on a lower capacity gun certainly gives you the loading practice and when you get a hi-cap gun you'll fly! It'll also be good for you to work out which loading method works best for you as a competition ammo belt can be a very expensive item to put together. Mine would RRP at close to £300 (from MidwayUK that is )

Good shout.

So I could order this (would I still need export licences etc?):
http://www.brownells.com/magazines/shot ... 19943.aspx

Then have the bracket relocated on the original barrel?

UKPSA seems to be imploding and tearing itself to bits from the inside.

I haven't seen a good word said about them and it can only be a matter of time that there is a UK branch of the IPSC. Northern Ireland have just gone that way.

Possibly

Restriction
Gun-Part
Gun Parts totaling $100 or more may not be shipped outside the United States without proper export licensing.

It MAY be an option - it'd depend on finding someone to do the work on the barrel, etc.

AT least its hopefully giving you a few more options/ideas

So what is happening within UKPSA the?

Another "national" body so wrapped up in itself that it fails to do its role and support shooting and shooters?

The U.K.P.S.A is the UK branch of IPSC! :lol:

You're right though, they don't seem to be having much luck recently
