    Which tube extension for 3 gun heavy metal?

    I want to run my 870 express in heavy metal division. Which extension should I run? +4,5,6? Not sure what the rules are and what would bump me to open class... Thanks in advance for the feedback.

      So if I run a longer tube and load more than 9 during the match it won't bump me to open?

        Keep in mind...
        If you add an extension that increases the magazine capacity to 11+ rounds, then you are manufacturing a large capacity magazine (felony). [PC 32310]

        Exemptions to this are:
        1. Fixed tubular magazines on .22 calibered firearms. [PC 16740(b)]
        2. Fixed tubular magazines on any calibered lever-action firearms. [PC 16740(c)]

          I got my pump's magazine tube to 8+1 total. I have yet to find a situation where I wanted a 10+1 tube.

          With a 9 or 10 round tube: some matches let you load to infinity after the buzzer, some limit you to 8+1 at all times.
