Mag Extension for Spartan SPR453?

I posted this on Biakal/Spartan but no responses yet so I thought I would try here.

Do you know if anyone makes a mag extension for Remington Spartan SPR453 or Baikal MP153?

Or if a mag extension for another shotgun would fit?

My last resort is to cut the exhisting cap and weld a tube on it and get a longer spring from Wolf Springs. Man it seems like alot of work to get a mag extension. However I wanted a gas operated autoloader and not a recoil operated autoloader.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes, I almost went with the Rem 11-87.
2 reasons why I didn't.

1. I am trying to do this on a budget, which may very well back fire due to parts availability.

2. I read from other posts that the range of ammo of the 11-87 is 2 3/4 field loads to 3".

My wood stocked 153 shoots everything from 2 3/4 target to 3" slugs and 3 1/2 magnum with no problems. I really don't like shooting the 3 1/2 magnums, kicks way more than my 50BMG rifle. After I shot the 3 1/2 mags I had to turn around to look for my shoulder on the ground.

I'll try calling brownells tech and post what they say, thanks!

Am looking into that, I think it may be only imported extensions but US is OK. I need to check it out.

Man, I wish I would have bought one here in CA when they were selling here.

In Kalifornia cannot have a semi-auto with detachable magazine.
Only thing I could find assualt weapon is:

A semiautomatic shotgun that has at least two of the following:

1. a folding or telescoping stock;
2. a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
3. a fixed magazine in excess of five rounds
4. and an ability to accept a detachable magazine.
(Didn't the above Fed law expire?)

California Law:
6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
(A) A folding or telescoping stock.
(B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.

(7) A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine.

The Benelli M4 could have straight stock, pistol grip stock, or a pistol grip with telescoping stock. A mag extension to option 2 would make it an AW, option 3 is already an AW.

Since a Spartan SPR453 does not have:
a. folding or telescoping stock.
b. pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
c. ability to accept a detachable magazine.

Why can't I put on an extended mag?

The FN semi can have an extended mag, so why can't the Spartan?
