870 Tactical
Well made with good fit and finish. Magazine spring and magazine button are perfect. The only reason I give it 4 stars is for the QD sling mount capability. There is none. Also, if you have a latter model 870, you will need remove the tube dimples to get the proper benefit from this product. For me that wasnt an issue due to the fact that I knew the tube dimples had to be removed. Im very happy with it and recommend it.
Fits H&R pardner pump
There are a couple of things to do to make this part work excellent on your pardner pump. First, remove your barrel, thread the extension on the magazine tube without spring and use a pipe wrench (I used a strap wrench so as to not mark up the knurling) and forcefully thread the extension on as far as you can. I found that the threads are a slight bit mismatched but you can force it enough to get a good tight fit without stripping threads. Second, remove the indents on each side of the magazine tube that are used to hold the plastic spring retainer in the end of the magazine. To remove the plastic retainer, you insert a flat blade screwdriver into the oblong hole in the end of the plastic retainer, push in approx. 1 inch and make a quarter turn. The spring should then push it all the way out. Use an 1/8 inch bit and drill two holes, side by side in the indents (2 because the indents are oblong), then round file the inside of the magazine to smooth out where the indents were. Lastly, crimp the new spring on the supplied follower, insert spring, barrel and extension and you're all done. I now can get 8, yes 8(eight) 2 3/4 inch shells in the magazine!
Great for my HD 870
Slowly turning my 870 Express into a excellent HD weapon. My only issue is that the finish doesn't match, but that was to be expected.
Great Product
This is far superior to the cheaper brand available for the same price. The material is robust and it attaches very securely. It is parkerized so I recommend coating with oil. I sprayed mine with CLP and let it sit overnight prior to installation. Fit and function have been flawless so far. The spring and follower are excellent. This is a great product for HD, working, or 3 Gun shotguns. I also recommend if you put this on a 870 Express (after your remove the dimple) you install a detent and spring. The parts and tool available here at Brownells. Opening the box will take longer than the installation and then the mag tube extension will be rock solid with no chance of backing off..
Very nice, not that great to install
Very nice product, much better than the cheap junk that Remington installs. When I tried to install my extension, the channel that the sling loop rotates in was so loaded with parkerizing material that I had to spend half a hour working CLP into the channel to the point that it would actually rotate all the way around the tube.
Best extention on the market
Great piece of gear. Fits and functions prefect on my 1100. Much more robust than the other cheaper tubes out there. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 is that you cannot remove the sling loop if you want too.
Built Like a Tank
Super sturdy and the parkerized finish matches a 870P very well. Downside, it is heavy. The spring and follower are well made.
Nice Extension
Well made extension, I have used a few and they are all reliable. Good for the money.
