DCMJ Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Mods, if this is placed in the wrong area please feel free to move it. However, I believe the knowledge and expertise I need to tap is here. I grabbed a screaming good deal on a used 870 express early model, and I'm trying to gear up to keep it as a home defense weapon. Mag extensions - how long can I go with an 18-1/2 barrel and not have the extension reach past the muzzle? I've targeted the Noveske extension tubes that are in my price range. Otherwise I'm planning for a side-mounted 200+ lumen light and a basic red-dot (mount acquired) just for fun. Anything else I should consider?

mdschappell Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 An extension that allows seven rounds in the mag tube will likely go past the front of the barrel. From what I have seen, if you want a mag tube that is even with the barrel, six rounds is going to be just about it. The factory Remington extension for six rounds is even with the barrel. I have a seven round extension that goes past the front of the barrel a few inches on my 18 inch barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
