Great Product, great value!
I was very impressed with the incredibly accurate and detailed installation instructions. Thank you to the person who included great instructions!
11-87 extended magazine
Excellent product with instructions to match.
20 minutes to assemble that included drilling the indentations out of the stock magazine.
Highly recommended.
Custom Hand Filing Outstanding Gratitude
I knew before hand that my newer Remarms 870 has dimples on the magazine tube . I highly recommend hand filing which is a slower process but the fitment and pleasure that you did it better puts a gratifying smile on your face and spirit, it functions flawlessly . I used various types of hand files . Go slow , don't be in a rush. There are no holes in the tube from drilling. It looks really good too.
Happy Customer
The part fit my Remington 870 very nicely, looks great and works great. A very fair price for good quality.
Nice product
Decent materials and exquisite fit would recommend to anyone.
A Welcome Addition
The mag tube extension functions as advertised. Turns my 5-shot (4 in the tube, 1 in the chamber) Remington 870 into an 8-shot (7 in the tube, 1 in the chamber) as written in the description. Since the installation, which included properly grinding off the bumps in the factory mag tube, the gun has functioned perfectly and has been completely reliable, with no failures to feed. Looks good, too. I coupled this with an 18.5" barrel to make a great home defense shotgun, which is easily convertible back to hunting configuration by switching barrels.
What Ya Need
Converted an old 870 for home defense by dropping the 24" barrel on it down to the 18.5". It also had a longer mag extension that would've created a bit of trouble. This seven round extension fits perfectly and looks like it came from the factory this way. - Excellent fit - Easy install - Durable product
Great addition to my Remington 870
Easy to install. 6+1 is what I wanted for a home defense shotgun. Taking it to the range in the next week to practice.
