I've read that with my Pardner Pump 18.5" 12ga you can drill out the magazine dimples to get another 2.75 inch round in there. Free 6+1 for the win!

 

It's supposedly just like doing so in your Remington 870. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions on how to proceed?

I have an 870 and have been considering the mag extension. Some people use a drill to remove the bump. I would use a Dremel bit to grind the bump from the outside. The inside of the hole must be free of any burrs or a lip and Dremel appears to be the best tool. MidwayUSA sells a tool designed to grind the bump from the inside of the tube but I don't think you need it.

Just performed this "operation". Started with a small pilot hole, used a larger bit to obliterate the bumps, and then sanded down the inside till it was totally flat. (Inside is not treated so you aren't rubbing any coating off.)

 

Then I used a "black paint" pen to cover the raw steel from the drill holes and bam, 6 in the tube. For free. :mrgreen:

 

Took 25 minutes!

um.... I would ask an ffl or someone else here... I am not a shotgun guy myself... but I believe I recall seeing in shotguns no more than 5 shells?

Doesn't apply to pump shotguns. What you're thinking of is the limit for a semi-auto shotguns, which, if I remember correctly, is 6 in the tube.

 

I may have to try this on my Pardner one of these days. Also, there's a guy that makes custom extensions for the Pardner to get it up 7+1 http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=8698

I bought a +2 extension from him for an 18.5" Mossberg 590A1.

It's all good, pumps are allowed to have this many.

 

For a free modification it's rocks, although the custom extension is nice I don't have the cash now that the other thread has "informed me" that I am saving for an AR15.

Yeah, it's definitely not cheap when you consider it's not much more than a threaded 4" tube... but for some guns, it's the only way to go cuz no one else makes them. The 590A1 is my "go to" gun, so I splurged on it I don't really use the Pardner at all, so a "free" mod is how I'm gonna go with that one

Rock on, it's easy so I don't even need to wish you good luck.

 

Now instead of 5 shells of 00 buck in the tube, I have 5 shells of 00 buck followed by a big ass slug. I figure if I get down to the last shot I will need a hail mary!

That's what handgun transitions are for

Lol at 3 AM I'm not sure how much of a transition I'll be able to pull off.

Slugs REALLY are powerful...if you have thin walls or neighbors, another 00 buck will do just fine. If that's not an issue, I say, 6 rounds of slugs. I don't care who you are, there's slim chance of survival for a slug to the chest and to the head....have Crime Scene Cleanup on speed dial.

I figure 5 rounds of 9 pellet 00 is going to stop anything short of a situation where I'm so threatened that the slug is required to save my life. Literally, life or death.
