OK, if five is the majic number, why do I have to modify my '97 to make it hold 6? Since the '97 is the only legal shotgun and we don't have to make consessions for the double folks, why do I have to alter the springs to increase it's capacity?

Howdy Grapevine, long time no see
. Come on down to the Buccaneer Range, last week we only had one stage with six shotgun, the rest were five. Pistol strings were 10, 15, and not more than 20 rounds. We shoot SASS on the 2nd Sat, then Wild Bunch on Sunday. Hope to see you soon, Good Luck
If you going for authenticity, show me a picture of a kitted out american serviceman in the last century carrying more than 3 magazines for the Colt 1911 that he/she is carrying. Yes the 6 rds in a spring is an option, no consideration is given to the fact that if I wish to compete in the US, I'm only allowed to import a shotgun that holds 5 rds IAW BATF rules.
Howdy Garand, I said sorta authentic
. Nether game/sport SASS or Wild Bunch is truly authentic, SASS is based loosely around the late 1800s and TV/movie westerns, and WB is sorta based on turn of the century and the final scene of the movie. As for mags I only have four mag pouches, figure if I need any more I'll stick one in my vest pocket. My original Win 97 solid frame will hold six shotshells, but my other one I'll have to load one or get the spring kit. All in all WB is a blast to shoot
Good Luck
