This is an entire new magazine design for the SPAS12, LAW, and SAS. As usual, I don't just make replacement parts -- I make re-engineered better parts.
The end that screws on the gun is made from a genuine Franchi polymer extended magazine tube. This tube was shipped on the SPAS and other guns towards the end of the production run. It is not identical to the metal version.
The tube itself is made of rigid woven Carbon Fiber composite. This is the dark material with the beautiful weave visible just below the surface, used on pistol grips and knife handles for its hi-tech look. The tube is silky smooth on the inside and is hard as a rock. If smashed, the factory metal tube would bend or dent and put the gun out of commission, but this tube will be untouched. It's almost unbreakable, and light as a feather.
* Temperature Range:
-100° to +200° F
* Machine using diamond
tools
* Good temperature
insulator
* Flexural Strength:
174,000 psi
* Compressive Strength:
128,000 psi
It is finished off with a black Delrin
end cap. (Note the new cap has changed dimensions below)
It will come in 3 "standard" lengths.
It is made in the same length as the stock Franchi part, which is often
called the "8 round" extension. For details on how many shells it
really holds, see here. It
also comes in +1 and +2 versions which add around 2.5"
and
5" to the original length, which should add one or two
crimped
end rounds and a bit of space for the longer compacted spring.

The lengths above are recommendations only
-- you can ask for any internal or external length.
(OLD STYLE EXTENSION)
This is a picture of +1 unit on a "pimped" SPAS12 with a prototype of my choke adapter holding a Paradox rifled choke tube for discarding sabot rounds. With scope, a real "tack-driver."
Yes, you can trim the tube shorter if you
wish, but you will need diamond tooling -- carbide will not cut it.
These are
normally available -- please write and I'll send you an invoice.
I normally have parts for one or two.
I will need to
know the length you want -- see chart above.
