m2 and extension

Got this about a week ago

Shoots great with some low brass heavy bird (i didnt shoot any buck, sporting a broken finger) even left hand from the hip.
So I ordered a nordic +3 with clamp with rail, planning on a light up there.
Now im seeing with the inertia system that adding weight up front causes jams.
Should I resell the ext.?
is there some ammo that will work?
thx

You'll be fine. Some folks make a big deal out of the weight thing.....a mag extension and light should not add enough to hurt anything. It may not run as well with super light field loads, and some low recoil buck and slugs are so light they won't run the thing in factory configuration, or any other semi for that matter.

Here's mine. It shoots the 1100 FPS 7 1/2 shot cheap stuff from WalMart just fine with a Nordic +4 extension tube. Even with an Esstac velcro side saddle and an 11 0z Eotech on the rail, it has never missed a shot. If yours does, you could consider either a lighter recoil spring or sending the bolt off to be lightened.

^^ dang now I kinda wish I wouldve gone with a plus 4.
gave the spring an extra inch beyond nordic recommendation
Was that wise or how did others trim theirs?

I have several springs...they're pretty cheap. I did the same as you, and it's worked out fine for me. I went with a +4 and an extended choke tube and that's worked out fine. I acutally have a +2 cap that I can screw onto the end of the Nordic extension tube and that works fine too, giving me 1+5+4+2, the ability to take 12 shots to the line. IIRC, however, the cost of the +2 extension tube wasn't that much different from the cost of a new Nordic +6 magazine extension (tube only, without the nut). The only advantage is not having to disassemble from the barrel clamp to change magazine capacity.

ETA: I really like the Urbino stock. The OEM stock was just way too long for me to shoot a tactical shotgun comfortably.

Oh hell, more stuff I gotta buy.
Oh well, the kids can eat next year ;)

I run a +7 on my 26" M2 and a +9 on my 24" Vinci, never had any problems. I've actually seen quite the opposite in adding weight to the front, especially in adding all those shells. The shells beat the hell out of the shell catch, so you'll have to keep an eye on it. I've got 5k rounds or so on my M2, and the shell catch has let a shell past onto the lifter a couple times now, probably due for replacement.
