I am new to this site, but have read through the entire thread over the last few weeks. The knowledge base is awesome.
I am now the proud owner of a brand new Gen 1 1301 Tactical and just received the Nordic extension kit. While I am tempted to jump right in to the installation, I am a little confused about what the end result will be. I could probably figure it out with the parts in my hand, but thought I would go straight to the experts first, before opening the packaging.
If I replace the magazine end nut with the nut for the extension tube, does that mean that I will have to remove the extension in order to remove the hand guard when breaking the gun down for cleaning? That would seem to expose the coil spring every time I cleaned it. I do not recall anyone mentioning anything about that, so maybe I am overlooking something, but that seems like it would be a pretty big issue. I assume that also means that the barrel mount adapter would need to be removed each time as well?
Is this just the price of 2 additional rounds? Is there a work around, or am I missing a critical understanding of something that makes this moot?
