I misspoke - I didn't remove the magazine spring seal ring out of the 2 round limiter - I removed it out of the 5 round magazine tube. Same thing, though. The mag tube has no 'slot' that the magazine spring seal ring fits into. When the seal ring is inserted into the gun, you will be compressing it just a little, and when it goes into the tube it's going to want to expand, and that tension that is created is what holds the magazine spring seal ring in place.
Thanks for the video Todd! I second the request for the FFT 7-round mag install. Also, the extended carrier install. And...the trigger upgrade. Looking forward to them.
As I can, I will. I’m still getting used to this camera setup and I’m honing my video editing skills. Some of these requests are going to be difficult projects, but I will get to them, for sure
Had no idea these things used an unlined clamshell forend, I would've expected a metal heat shield since the gas system is right under it. Lol, and as they say, you never have trouble with anything until you try to do it on camera.
Old video, but great info. I live in MA and we have some very VERY stupid laws. In the configuration shown with the pistol grip stock you would be limited to 5 round magazine tube. If you swapped the stock to the traditional stock you could run up to a 10 round tube or extension setup. Anyways, appreciate the info in this video. Eying a Benelli M4. Currently have a Remington Versa max tactical for a shotgun.
Todd great video ,Just installed all you sold me . Titanium 7 round tube , Wolf spring, upgrade trigger set, Tritium night sites, Oversized @action release button ( square one ) and the Shorter stock. Still trying to figure how to mount the six round xtra round r@ck. All great quality and not hard to do if you watch your tutorials.
Hey Todd, for the Benelli specifically - I’m having a hard time understanding the 922R compliance part of things. Am I correct in saying that this mag extension can be in violation of that, but a full mag replacement isn’t? I’ve watched both videos and this option is far more preferable to the more labor-intensive magazine replacement, with the heat gun and all. Fantastic videos, I’m subscribed either way!
Do you think the spring retaining clip is necessary or would the cap work fine? I ask because the retainer removed allows the 7th round to fit more often w different loads.
Looks like the OEM tube needs to be heated inorder to compromise the locktight fit from the factory. Also I think the 2 round extension may be a more affordable option if you want to have the ability to change the capacity from 5-7 in a pinch.
I have the Benelli M4's extended tube but I cannot fit the 7th round into the tube. I'm using the tube and spring that came with it but I can't get it to fit. I'm using Federal Personal Defense shells.
will this work for a stoeger p3000??? i have the same problem of only being able to put 4 in the tube. ive heard they are similar to benelli so would a benelli mag extension work?
I just got a m4 and just left the range , I was only able to get 4 shells in the barrel and 1 in the chamber ?? I thought its supposed to be 5+1. any thoughts to this? I was using 2 3/4 00 buck Winchester military grade [army green color]
Yeah me too. I brought the tube extension and I’m only able to load 6 shells, not 7 (5 factor + 2 with extension). $275 just to load one more round 🤦♂️.
Tru other ammo Box may have 2 3/4 written on it, however it maybe longer than other 2 3/4 ammo After fired shotshell most of the time lengths are the same
I have absolutely no idea. People say it's a clone, so if it truly is, then the answer should be yes. I'm trying to get a Panzer and won't have answers until I do.
@@FreedomFighterTactical www.classicfirearms.com/panzer-arms-m4-semi-automatic-tactical-12-ga-shotgun-3-5rd-inertia-driven-black/ Just ordered one today so I will let you know once parts and the shotgun comes in.
If you get an “American imported” 7 round tube, foregrip and follower. Are those 3 paired with a “stock” recoil tube that had a 3 position now swapped with a 5 position recoil tube in compliance? There’s something to be said about if you get the collapsible stock you need 4 parts. But what if the m1014 already came with a 3 position recoil tube and you put a 5 position in to make it fully collapsible. Would you just need the 3 parts still or 4 parts ? Hopefully wasn’t too confusing. Thanks !
@@FreedomFighterTactical hey ! picked up a foregrip. But the right is a bit warped. The left is perfect 👌🏻. Am I able to just use the left and keep the oem right ? Or do I need both sides to state made in USA
@@AuziFox see the instructions on the website - the warp or bend is in every forearm but it will perform perfectly. See the instructions on the forend page and you’ll see
@@FreedomFighterTactical hey, thanks for the reply. Want to be clear. I am happy with the forearm and every purchase I’ve made through you guys. As per last message. wasn’t able to find anything on the instructions page stating if using one of the left or right forearm parts would be in compliance .
@@AuziFox I would think you would need to use both halves. Have you put them both on the gun as the instructions say? They're solid and they will serve you well.
We don't serve the clone community and clone guns so I don't even try our parts on clones. Buy with caution as we have a no return policy and oftentimes our parts do not cooperate with clones.
I live in the District of Columbia which restrict me from having a pistol grip on my gun so what mods can I do to my M4 that would be legal? I would like add the two extension. Love your channel!!
I’m sorry, but I don’t have an answer for you regarding D.C. laws. I’d talk to someone local who knows the ins and outs of the law there. You likely can do what you want to the gun without any issue, except add mag capacity or change the stock, but someone local can advise you on that…
Yeah, the 5000 to 7000 calls I get about it each year along with all the appreciation from people for helping them understand it means nothing. Nobody cares. Pfft
You do a masterful job of taking what should be a 4-minutes video and stretching it out to almost 17 minutes chattering away about the most obvious information. It's like you believe your viewers have the intelligence of a 5 year old. Other than that, nice video.
I installed my 2 round tube extension from a different company, lets call them KZ. Well, my factory follower would not pass the threaded portion in their tube, so my extension wouldn't allow me to hold any extra rounds. It turned my Benelli into a 5 and 1/2 round shotgun. Has FFT ever heard of this issue with their tube extensions? Did i do something wrong? I took my follower out and put it into the tube extension and it wouldn't go through it. The follower should be able to pass all the way through the tube extension, correct??
Im no expert on such matters, but Yeah, I would think so! Maybe your extension tube is out of spec! I would definitely call the extension tube manufacturer and get their recommendation on this situation!
The fact that the shotgun is limited from the start makes me not want to send money to Binelli. Gun companies without respect for moral citizens. Binelli, Beretta, FN, Sig. They all look down on free people.

AFAIK, you can't. My stuff isn't sold in Canada and I don't know of any other alternatives at this time.
Lock that bolt back before assembly. Makes it a bit easier to get things back together.

Thank you
Would like to see you put out vids fitting your parts to all the clones hitting the market....
Yes

I found using the angled snap ring pliers works great as you can keep them across the plug when removing it
Much obliged to you, sir. I prolly would have had a lot more difficulty on my M2 without your advice. Godspeed!
I did it..your videos are the best instructional out there. Thx again.
Awesome!!! Happy to have had a hand in helping
Thank you for the instructions. Couldn’t see myself figuring this out without your help.
Great video for those of us new to shotguns.
Thank you! Just got my stock m4 today. Can't wait for the extra capacity!
Got my m4 today .... Gonna need one of these ASAP.
You know we have them but they go fast
Had no idea these things used an unlined clamshell forend, I would've expected a metal heat shield since the gas system is right under it. Lol, and as they say, you never have trouble with anything until you try to do it on camera.
Great! Can you please do a video that replaces the 5-round magazine with the FFT 7-round tube?
Soon
Im in the works of gaining an m4 and this is definitely simple
I learn a lot about extending the barrel.
Very informative and educational. Thank you
So this will give u 7 in tube and 1 in chamber and then if I ghost load it should hold 9 shells correct
Yes... with most 2-3/4 inch shells. Some are too long and you'll only get 6 in the tube.
Good shit. Thx.
Thank you
Thanks for the video!!!
Changed mine out had feeding issues with the 7th round .so the 5 round spring definitely needs to be upgraded to the 7 rounder
Thanks for the info
I prefer the one piece extension that is one solid piece instead of two. Looks cleaner and no seams.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Can’t wait to receive my M4 ordered a few weeks ago and start working on the upgrades soon...I guess probably still months away 😢
I’ll cross my fingers for you

anytime you add capacity, 922r comes into play. a 7 round tube counts as a 922r part where the extension does not.
thanks for the info, preciate it.
Why didn't you put the snap ring limiter in the 2 round tube BEFORE you put the spring back in the gun? Screw it down, and you are finished.
Do you know how to extend the Emperor shotgun from a 5 shot to a 7 shot
Where can I get the spring you mention in the video ?
Do you think the spring retaining clip is necessary or would the cap work fine? I ask because the retainer removed allows the 7th round to fit more often w different loads.
any difference between getting the +2 extension tube versus getting the full length 7 round tube? just looks? obviously a difference install
for all intents and purposes, they will function the same.
@@FreedomFighterTactical easier to install the +2 extension tube right?
Looks like the OEM tube needs to be heated inorder to compromise the locktight fit from the factory. Also I think the 2 round extension may be a more affordable option if you want to have the ability to change the capacity from 5-7 in a pinch.
I had an issue with the spring snagging inside of the extension.
@jeffreydommer7147 I ended up getting the proper 7 round tube (as the shotgun should come with) and its perfect
That does look like an easy installation.
Fantastic, thanks
Good video 👍

Thank you, Derek. For watching, and for the feedback - means a lot to me.
This is awesome do you do any modifications in your shop for clients? I'm in San Diego
sorry, no
Will this work on the M4 clone from Turkey?
Does this work with the Panzer close?
Don’t know. we don’t test our parts on clones.
Anyone know if this will fit the black aces M4 clone?
Does anyone know if I can keep the tube extension on in Louisiana
will this work for a stoeger p3000??? i have the same problem of only being able to put 4 in the tube. ive heard they are similar to benelli so would a benelli mag extension work?
I really have no idea…
9:33 looks at all my tube fed guns that do exactly that. Is that wrong?
I don't want to hunt I just want to shoot clays and targets here in WV so it would be awesome to have 7 rounds
Should you add thread locker to the extension tube threads?
Not at all
@@FreedomFighterTactical awesome thanks

I’m curious if there are different size oring pliers?

I did this exactly as instructed and only getting +1 the last shell only goes in 3/4 of the way in. What did i do wrong?
Try different Ammo. Works every time.
