Shell Holder Tube extends 1/16" beyond barrel tip

I just installed the Nordic shell tube extender on my Benelli M2 tactical shotgun and the shell tube extends 1/16" beyond the end of the barrel. Is this going to be a problem? I see shooters on line shooting shotguns with their shell tubes extended up to 1" past the end of the barrel of the shotgun....Did not know if this would cause any issues over time....Feedback and comments appreciated......Thanks Mark

    1/16" sounds like a rounding error. I wouldn't worry about it. [:)]

    Nordic offers tube caps that allow you to get a little more length on your tube when you need it so that that last shell will go, because of the spring compression room that is needed. I ordered the cap that allowed me that extra needed room and with that the tube extends just a hair past the barrel end. Nordic owner said they sell these cap extenders just for this reason and said I should have no issues but I just wanted to confirm here on GB with members I know....Not that I do not trust the great staff at Nordic, just wanting to confirm....Mark

    It'll be fine. I have seen them 4-5 inches beyond with no problem.

    NO, watch some of the 3 gun match shooters some of their mag tubes extend 3 inches past the barrel.

    the only issue that will come up is that the magazine tube will get a carbon build up on top and will need extra cleaning

    Watch 3-GUN NATION and see some that look like 8-9" longer than the barrel. I saw one that had powder burn marks on it.
