Buy recommendations Anybody tried one of these?

I don’t know how I stumbled upon these but I did. It seems sketchy I’m not sure it’s a good idea but it could solve an issue I’m having with my 10” Ege Levar12s.
So out of my 18” barrel 12 guage using a rifled choke tube I have great accuracy with repurposed target loads with hand made Lee 7/8 slugs but when I toss them in my 10.5 Ege with the same rifled choke it’s all over the map.
My best guess is with the shorter barrel it’s not getting a good enough burn and the blast is sending the slug tumbling? I’m not a ballistics expert. It goes in it goes boom it comes out. What ever else happens in between or after it’s beyond me. So this leads to my 2 questions has anyone tried one? And from what I can tell Lockhart tactical is a legitimate company I can trust?

Ah yes, the Turkey extender.

. Renowned globally for it's economic advantage, turning your $400 blue 12" mag fed abomination, into a certified upland-game precision instrument and skeet champion companion.

. Snide remarks aside, forgive me I couldn't help myself, do not buy this.

I think I’d be better off just buying the 18” version lol or I might reach out to the warranty depot and see if it’s less than half the price of the gun just buy the barrel hand guard and nit then a guy could just swap back and fourth

If the restriction is cost, but you want short and long barrels, buy the cool looking cheap short barreled Turkish and then buy a used long barrel 12ga from GNG or InterSurplus. You can get quality break/pump action shotguns for as low as $200-$400.

. Or even better, buy the mossberg combo with 18" + 28" barrel (don't know the exact model or lengths but it's something like that).

Cost is not 100% factor it’s just I dont wanna have 2 of the same gun with differnt barrel lengths. I’ve got plenty of options for 12 gauges in the gun room. I just want to be able to shoot slugs accurately from this one. I reached out to sfrc to see what’s available for parts to convert

You'd be better off just not dealing with lockhart tactical.
