870 magazine extension

[tim410]

I just bought an 870 with 18 in barrel and want to buy a 2 round magazine extension. Ive been looking at the wilson comat one but dont need a sling mount. Any suggestions?

Get it from www.remington.com ?

Wilson Combat makes one without the sling mount. I have one with the sling mount and it is high quality. Worth every penny.

I guess i have to look a little harder for one without sling mount.

Try EBay.

Wilson does, Vang Comp does. Nordic as well. A few others too.

I have a Remington extension. Some guys don't like them because of the bracket. I just figure more support.

I have the Remington and a Tac Star. Both work and attach just fine. The ONLY suggestion I would make is make sure it's metal. There are some plastic ones out there, and while they may function fine, I don't think they have the durability of a metal one.


Also, I'd suggest gettting one that is about .5" longer than the barrel when installed. The end of the mag tube makes a nice muzzle protector.

Oh, and don't forget to grind down the dimples in your factory tube.

I got a Tac star and it runs with no complaints. Have to agree with everything mudskipper said there.

^^^^This.

Wilson's is very good.
Choate's is very good.

I prefer the Remington extension, because I want that extra support, incase I 'bang' the barrel/extension against something.
I don't want the magazine tube, spring and rounds bouncing off the floor!


FWIW, those with TacStar extensions. . . . those tubes are great IF they work for you. They are the thinnest walled extensions on the market.
Good luck with them.
