Picked up a new (to me) shotgun.

[JLaff]

Purchased a Remington 887 from another member here last weekend. But that's not the reason I'm here. The real reason is that there isn't a single ounce of aftermarket support for this shotgun. I've been looking everywhere and can't find a thing. And I'm not even asking for much. All I want to do is mount a reflex optic to it. And I'd rather not have to drill and tap it to do it. A magazine tube extension would be nice but even that doesn't exist. So now I come to you folks asking a few questions and hoping the saying "The only stupid question is the unasked question" holds true.

I found about a million of this style mount for the 870. Would this work on the 887? A magazine extension isn't a priority but would one for the 870 work?

I've tried to do as much research as I can and I even searched on the forum but the last post about an 887 that was relevant was in 2010.

Many of you tinker with firearms and have more knowledge on that matter.

Thanks in advance.

with the long following the 870 has i am not even sure if Remington knows why they came up with the 887??? either you love them or hate them i think it is?? i know a guy with a home defense model which he loves.

F300063 is the part number for a weaver scope mount. You will also need three screws part F301895 for the installation.

Searched for that and I found the thread on RemingtonOwners. Apparently I'm blind and didn't notice the other 5 pages when I read that thread the other day. But thanks though. That answered a question I had about rifled barrels too. Also that side saddle the one guy made looks kinda slick too.
