Last touch was adding the Aridus Imperium handguard and the match saver!

How is the red dot? I’m looking for a sight on mine

I really like it, Holosun he509t with the gold dot, didn’t know how I’d feel about gold but I’m not ever gonna go back to a regular red ever again, so much nicer to see! Terribly cropped photo so it’s blurry but in person, very crisp!

ive been having cycling issues since I installed my imperium, despite everything fitting perfectly.

please let a brother know how yours runs.

I think I’ll be going to the range tomorrow, little self Father’s Day gift lol, I’ll come back to this tho.. the bolt cycles perfectly normal with the imperium on it and the match saver too

Mine cycles just fine as well at home, until i'm popping off multiple rounds of live ammo. the bolt fails to fully lock into battery. have fun happy father's day!

So coming back, it worked just the same it did before I put the handguard on. Sent 75 shells (50 00 Buck and 25 slugs) and they went through flawlessly

That’s good to know! I’ll let you know how it goes when I end up going out next! And thanks, you too!

Does the mag tube extension add more capacity or is it only cosmetic in Canada?

Adds 1 extra 2 3/4” shell cap

Glad you plugged it for legality. Should actually give +2 but our laws suck

Looks beautiful

What brand is the mag tube extension ? I wanted to get one but wasn’t sure if it’s compatible with the newer mod 2 models

I haven’t scratched the barrel, just gotta be careful.. currently at the range, and it’s running perfectly, no clearance problems with this match saver at all, 50 shells through with it on

u/SJHardware Jun 21 '26

Great product, but alot of people are giving issues installing them you will need trim down any mlot bolts you uses or is will damage the gas system Taking it on an off is a pain in the ass I'd do with the one from MI

u/jalalinator Jun 22 '26

thank you so much for the response, yeah I like to keep my stuff well maintained and if field stripping is a pain I know I’ll avoid maintenance… hmm what to do

u/LongRoadNorth 28d ago

I feel there's too many getting tube extensions in Canada and not knowing they need to plug a portion of it for legalities

2

u/tim1447 28d ago

Comes plugged.. it’s a +1 extension for 2 3/4” shells. For legality on the semi auto you can only have 5 of the shell size stated which is 3” shells.. so I can still only hold 5 - 3” shells but can now hold 6- 2 3/4” shells

u/LongRoadNorth 27d ago

Ya I saw on another comment you said it's the s&j one.

The Nordic one doesn't come plugged and I've seen a few post on here with it, with no clue they had to plug it if they put it on a semi.

I have the Nordic on mine. And foc sells it not mentioning the plugging aspect. Tacord will set it up with a plug though.

u/tim1447 27d ago

Oh shit I didn’t know they didn’t come plugged, that’s a bit sketchy then for the people that don’t know lol

1

u/LongRoadNorth 27d ago

Called a guy out on it last week on here and his reply was 'they wouldn't sell it in Canada if it were illegal'

It's only illegal on a semi though not a pump

2

u/tim1447 27d ago

Oh jeez lmao, yeah pumps there’s no limit so go crazy lol
