Meter to panel splicing question

steveray, main panel is being moved to new location in the same space, they want to use an approved junction box that will have access and continue the feed to the same panel.

Not a sub panel, though that would have worked as filthy suggested, making the panel a junction box.
 
Like Steveray is asking-if there is a first means of disconnect outside, you can splice and extend the feeder, although I think it's bad practice. With the main disconnect outside, the "main" panel gets wired like a "sub-panel", hence the confusion.
 
If you are extending the service conductors it would be a violation of 230.70 A 1 as the service disconnect will not be "nearest the point of entrance"....Might not be a big deal, but not to be ignored...
 
In a previous post the original poster stated there is a disconnect outside. therefore, the SER cable is a feeder, not service conductors. Splicing that crap is just looking for trouble anyway.
