Default Shotgun part manufacture - magazine extension tube

Posting trouble, sorry if this is a repeat.

I've recently acquired a Stoeger 2000 semi-auto shotgun, and notice
that no one makes a magazine extension for it. It would seem that if
I want one I'll have to have it made at a local metal working shop. I
know nothing about metal working except that this probably won't be
cheap. I can expect to pay about $60 an hour for such work, right?
Will it be easier/less expensive to ask that it be milled out from a
solid block of metal, or to have them weld a tube (cut from another
mag extension) onto an extra (drilled out) end cap? Perhaps some
other way? Any other tips, suggestions, warnings or information
greatly appreciated.

For those who might not know, a magazine extension is a screw-on tube
that replaces the end cap to a shotgun magazine. The tube makes the
total length of the shotgun magazine longer so that the shotgun has a
higher amunition capacity.
Here's a picture of a Choate tube, separate and attached to a shotgun.
