I actually had a tragedy a couple seasons back. I had a Model 11 with a home made magazine tube that ran clear to the end of the barrel. I'd actually put a plug in it so I could hunt with it a few times. Was shooting down in Mississippi and the weld holding the tube onto the bored out magazine cap gave way, shooting the magazine about 20 yards out into a deep water cypress brake never to be found again.
