Choate +2 extension not working???

Post by mcdeez333 »

My 4 round tube with a choate 2 round extension should give me a 6 round tube right?? Well, I put the longest spring in the galaxy down the tube and it took some serious pushing. After reinstalling the barrel and extension, I can still only put 4 in the tube before it stops. Is it because the friggin spring is so long? Do I need to trim it? Anyone else had an issue like this? Thanks guys

Do you have dimples in magazine tube?

If Mcdeez333's gun still had dimples in the magazine tube, the Choate follower couldn't have been installed at all:

Try putting the gun together with everything but the magazine spring. If you still can't fit more than 4 shells in, you'll know it's not a spring issue.
