Remington 870 tactical model 7 shot No magazine extension

ericoak · Jan 15, 2015

I did a search and didn't see any threads specifically mentioning this so I figured I would give a heads up. I had $30 in Dick's rewards that was going to expire so I went and checked out their guns. I noticed a weird looking 870, and it took me a while to realize it was a 7 shot model that had a different barrel and magazine tube. It seems like their tactical models no longer use a magazine extension. This one comes with a one piece magazine extension.

Although you can't switch barrels with other 870s, it doesn't really bother me considering new barrels cost almost as much as a new gun.

Have one and love it. It now has front and rear pistol grips. :cool:

I think I saw the same one in Walmart the other day.

I too had one and sold it. I did manage to install a wilson combat +1 extension on it while I had it which was good. Eventually I got rid of it because I was bummed by not being able to swap barrels for skeet shoots and whatnot.

The barrels cost $160-$200 and the whole gun costs $275. Seems kinda pointless to pay more than 50% of the entire gun for just another barrel. Maybe that is just me.

You can find new and like new barrels for the regular type 870 on the second hand market for much less than that.

Yea and you can find second hand market 870s for less also. Barrel is the most expensive part whether you are buying used or new.

That's an express? I think I'd much rather go the used wingmaster route.
