I'm going to be doing the exact same thing you did. Just wanted to confirm a few things
-Anything else I need to disassemble other than removing the barrel, handguard, bolt assembly, and trigger housing group?
-did you keep the blowtorch flame on the outside of the receiver or hit the threaded area of the magazine tube?
-how damaged was your 7 round tube after you got it out? Would it still be usable?
-do you just thread the new tube into the receiver until it bottoms out or is there a maximum depth you want to thread into?

I have run many 7/8oz loads through my 391 Xtreama, but it is for sure broken in. One time as a test I think I loaded a 3.5" shell behind a 7/8oz load and it worked, but to say that gun is broken in would be an understatement
Good Deal!
I have not done this but when I have contemplated it I was thinking of screwing two 2x4s together and drilling a hole between them about the diameter of the tube, then taking them apart and using them as a clamping surface, and maybe some nice two sided tape on the tube. Just a scheme.

The way that you describe it makes it sound like the individual round was off. I have heard that some semiauto shotguns have problems with the 8 pellet load. I have not had any problems with my Beretta 1301 with the Federal FC 8 pellet load, but I am sticking with the 9 pellet load just to be safe.
