    Default Remington 870 Tactical Magpul Edition - Tube Extension Compatibility?

    What options exist for tube extensions for a Remington 870 Express Tactical Magpul Edition shotgun? Note that this is the older version which comes with a rail and XS Sight ghost ring and front bead sight.

    I've attached a photo for clarification and a link of the shotgun HERE.

    Can a +1 or +2 tube extension be installed on this shotgun, and if so, which tube extension do you guys recommend? I've been told that since this shotgun is 6+1 already, that increasing it to 7+1 may not be possible as there isn't a spring strong enough for 7 rounds in the tube.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    You can add an extension but you'll need another spring. You can buy springs from Wolff and cut them to fit or if your extension kit comes with a spring cut it so it is 12-18 inches longer than magazine tube.

    Police magnum parts will probably fit, no?

    Police magnum parts will fit but since Remington is down right now it's hard to get factory parts. There are plenty of aftermarket suppliers out there that sell 1 and 2 shot extensions with springs and followers. I just checked and Wolff isn't taking springs orders until at least the end of this week but Nordic is still selling springs and kits and well as S&J Hardware and Choate.

    I don't understand why Remington insists on making their magazine tubes like this. Either end it at the forend or the end of the muzzle; why do they make them somewhere in the middle like that? You could probably put a Scattergun +1 on it or make a custom length Choate extension with a pipe crimper. You won't be able to increase the capacity to 7 by changing the spring. 2 3/4" shells are usually 2 1/4" before they're fired so 7 of those would be 15 3/4" and you still need room for a spring and magazine follower. Line up the shells below the magazine outside of the gun and you'll see what I mean.
