May or may not work

I was excited about this product when I first saw it. As an armorer for a law enforcement agency I had been looking for a forward sling attachment that worked with a QD sling attachment. The Magpul mount fit the bill without the mass of some other mounts. It worked very well on some shotguns. I have numerous 870s in inventory with some more than 20 years old. We also have a variety of magazine extensions. As previously mentioned in a review this product will not work with every barrel/extension combination. I checked the outside dimensions of the extensions and barrel (factory barrels) with a micrometer. There is a variation in the dimensions of both the barrels and the extensions. Bottom line is if its fits on your barrel/extension combination then it is a great product.

Nice clamp, may not fit your setup

I purchased this clamp to mount to an 870 Police Magnum with a Wilson Combat 2+ mag ext. tube. This clamp did not fit this combination. The spacing between the barrel and ext. tube was too small. However, this clamp did fit perfectly onto the same 870 Police Magnum when used with a Remington 2+ ext. tube. The outer diameter of the Remington ext. tube is slightly smaller than that of the Wilson Combat ext. tube. I'm rating this item a 3 for lack of published specifications regarding the supported barrel and ext. tube diameter combinations.
