Drags a Little

Fits old style magazine tubes without dimples. A little more resistant to sliding in the tube than I liked.

Magazine tube extension

I installed a 5 rd mag extension on my 870 and replaced the factory follower with this. One problem. the back edge was "too sharp" to pass where the detents had been. So, I took my Dremel and ground down the edge at an angle about an eighth of an inch. Works perfectly now!

pro and con

all is good with this follower except for the loss of one round in my extended magazine ( went from 7 plus one to 6 plus one), but i think if i cut and file off about half inch from the tail section of the follower, should get back my seventh round. great color and feel on empty mag.

Will fit some newer Remington 870 only with some minor "Dremel" fitting.
