I picked up a 18.5" barrel and a 2 round mag extension. Both brand new and both are Remington brand. I attempted to put them on my 870 express tonight and ran into an issue. The barrel has the ring for the mag tube already on it preventing me from being able to use the barrel clamp. I googled the 18.5" barrel and couldn't find any pics with the mag tube ring built into it. The other odd thing is the tube coupler has no threads left after it's screwed down tight to the mag tube leaving nothing for the extension to grab onto. And if I do it half and half threads are easily visible on both the mag and extension.
Ideas as to what my next step should be are welcome.
