Description
If you're running a Benelli M1, M2, or Super Black Eagle and want more firepower without replacing your entire magazine tube, this Carlsons extension delivers real value. The design threads directly onto your existing magazine cap, replacing it completely and adding significant capacity to your gun's magazine.
What makes it work is straightforward engineering. The extension is machined from blued solid steel, built to handle real field use without corrosion issues. Inside, you get a high-visibility follower that makes it easy to see your rounds and confirm your load status at a glance. The included spring and base clamp handle the mechanics so everything feeds smoothly through your shotgun. Because it replaces just the cap instead of swapping out the whole tube, installation stays simple and doesn't require any permanent modifications to your gun.
Installation and setup
The included instructions walk you through the process step by step, and feedback from users shows most people get this done in just a few minutes without any special tools. The base clamp provides stability for the extension if you want to secure it tighter, though many just hand-tighten the threaded connection. The 10.5-inch overall length keeps things balanced and proportional on your gun.
Capacity and compatibility
This extension is built specifically for the 8-shot versions of the M1, M2, SBE, and SBEII that use 2.75-inch shells. It gives you a solid boost in magazine capacity without any guesswork about fitment. The blued finish matches the factory appearance, so your gun looks like it came this way from the factory.
