Carlson 2 round extension.
I haven’t used it yet, but I put it on my 870 wing master looks fits great. Now if I can find a Remington 18.5 or 20 inch Polished blued barrel…
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Good product.
I bought two of these after talking to Red in the gun tech department because I wanted to put them on 16 ga. 1100s. It took about 5 minutes each to get them installed and the most time consuming part was getting the internal metal magazine plug removed. Putting the extensions on was dead simple. I used the supplied follower and had absolutely no problem at any rate of fire.

Orange Follower issue, but Great overall
It is in fact 10+1 if you use your original follower. I installed on an older 1100. No crimping necessary. But after install I could still only load 4 shells on a 10+1. I discovered the orange follower that comes with the kit has a circumference slightly too small for its own tube. It gets cock-eyed and stuck at the new tube transition and will go no further. So using the original follower from the gun, all worked well. The orange follower would have been a nice addition but it needs to be larger. If you try the orange and it does work, note I don't think you would fit 10+1 rather 9+1 as orange follower takes up more space. Still very happy with it.

This is 7+1 NOT 8
Some things to be aware of. One is clearly written in the description. The other one is not unless the description is changed after this review is posted. The tube WILL NOT HOLD 8 Rounds. This is 7 + 1. Second the removal of the tabs in a remington 870 is not difficult. I would recommend drilling them out then deburring with a file or similar. Third only giving this 3 stars because the plastic follower is oversized relative to the tube and the misleading capacity claim. I am certain the follower is oversized as it would not easily move in this or one other test shotgun

Fits Perfect
The Bluing On This Looks Like The Tube Was Sandblasted Not Really Smoothed Out And Then Blued, Not A Bright Bluing Like On The Other Extension Tube I Bought (100-013-349WB) I Would Give It 5 Stars If The Bluing Was Bright And Not Mattie Bluing And The Tube Was Smoother.
