Are you talking an extended magazine tube?  All the ones I've seen, and the one I have, screw on in place of the magazine cap.  If your tube has male threads on, you were had.  Could it be that you bought a replacement magazine tube, and have to remove the original factory tube to install the new one?  Removing the original factory magazine tube is not a task I've ever done.  Probably need a special wrench to prevent crushing the tube.

In the off chance you really do mean barrel extension (and not magazine extension), I assume it would go where the interchangable choke goes.
