SAESuperman Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 So I'm a noob with 3-gun (only been to one match so far). I have a Vepr 12 that I used in that (open division), but have a match coming up that does not have an open division...so I'm looking to dress up my 870 express magnum (28'' barrel) with a tube extension to get me through it. So my question is which tube extension is the best to put on it (and length)? My google-foo gave me some initial opinions, but figured I'd ask all of you for more accurate info. I'd prefer one that will be flush with the barrel (or just short if it). Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter115 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Nordic Components is a great company to do business with. You can pick pretty much any length tube you want. http://nordiccomp.com/retail/shop/nc-extensions/new-nc-mxt-shotgun-extension-complete-assembly-12ga/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAESuperman Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 So Nordic is the only recommendation? Is that the accepted "best"? What about the remington factory one? I saw a tacpro one at the store last night...any thoughts? I've heard choate is ok and a few others that I don't remember their name. Some come with all the parts and others don't (like the nordic I have to buy extra parts, right?). My original thought was to just stick with the remington one, but I want to get the best bang for my buck...I want great quality but not spent $100+ on it.

EkuJustice Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Choate isn't bad but the Nordic is Definately worth the money. You can change tube length as well as the barrel nut to fit different guns and will hold up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacticalCOWBOY Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nordic 100%. I have two of them on two different guns and they rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhunterman Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nordic components offers a very high quality unit at a very reasonable price. It is, at least in my opinion, way better than a choate or tacpro. It's the only thing I will run on my shotguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAESuperman Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks for the input guys! Nordic it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS761 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nordic is the standard, but Choate will work just fine. Unless you have an older 870, expect to clean up the indentions inside the end of your stock tube for whatever you choose. There are tools available to do this, or just drill them out and clean it up with a half bastard file or Dremel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pretty old 870...my dad got it for me when I was a kid (late 80's/early 90's?). I'll have to check if I need to dremel it out...(hopefully not).

BobS761 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I put a +6 Choate on my son's 870 Express I bought around 1990. It had the dimples. Easy to remove. It works well too. Nordic is on my autoloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
