12 Ga Extended Magazine Spring

Description

USA Made Extended 12 Gauge Tubular Magazine Chrome Silica Spring. 

Magazine springs like this are pretty generic.   They aren’t made for one particular brand or another.   Typically when modifying a shotgun with an extended magazine tube a generic spring like this is purchased and cut to size.   These are also useful when bringing new life to an old shotgun:   replace worn out old springs with this one and you may increase reliability.

Are you extending your 12 gauge’s magazine tube?  Did your 12 gauge’s magazine spring wear out?    These springs are for you!

.75 inch (3/4 inch) diameter, chrome silica, and about 4 foot long.

How they are used:   Remove the end cap of the magazine tube and remove any old spring.   Place the follower in the magazine tube,  then this spring, account for the length of any extensions beyond the magazine tube, then add another 10 to 12 inches of spring length (to give the spring pre-load to properly push the last round out).   Cut the spring to that total length.

Remember: when using magazine extensions or very long tubes, it is recommended to use a dowel plug of about 1 round length inside the spring’s coils to prevent fully compressing the magazine spring.   You shouldn’t fill every inch of a magazine tube with shells!  You need to leave a little space for the spring in order to keep the spring from going to full stack.   This one thing  (leaving some room for the spring by using a plug/dowel to keep from going to full stack) can greatly increase spring life.   Also: You may need to bend the ends of the spring into a smaller taper/coil in order to help the spring’s ends feed into magazine caps or magazine followers.    This method should give you the proper push force, balanced with longer spring life!
