Hey guys,
Gotta pick up a +2 Mag extension tube for my 18" Remington 870 Police.
Which one should I get? I was thinking about just getting the Remington one, however I'm a bit hesitant due to reports of poor finish quality in their 870s in the recent years.
My 870 is from before Remington was bought out.
Also, will I need to be drilling any holes or dremeling anything out? I've heard that may be needed on Express 870's but not on the older Police Magnum 870s.
Thanks.

Gear, or rifles are only as good as the user. Even if a rifle is true to an inch at a mile, even if gear is as light as a feather, yet as durable as leather, it is limited by its user. Invest in training.

I like the extensions from S&J Hardware: https://sjhardware.com/collections/s...nt=37484492875

Nordic tubes for me.. Not sure if the police guns have the dimple or not. If it does don't get caught up in all the shade tree removal methods. The simplest way is to just drill it out.

I personally have had a tube break many years ago, while rapid firing some 00 Buck in a Winchester 1300 Riot I had. To make matters worse, it was during a match. Very embarrassing..but just think if it was in a life/death situation.

I have had the Wilson +2 for 5-6 years. Although I haven't been using it a whole lot lately, I have never had any issues with it even back when I was shooting it much more.

I know, they all cost the same around $50, so its really not a matter of cost. I'm just trying to find the most durable one that will feed nicely.

I am using a Remington one on an 870 Express that I drilled the dimple out on. I paired it with one of MagPul's forward sling mounts and it has held up thus far to my abuse. Granted I am just a normal guy so YMMV. No feeding issues, no spring binding, no follower issues, etc.

I'm also looking for a +2 extension for an 870 but I'm looking for one that is a two piece design. What options are there?

The Nordics are 3 piece. Nut, tube and cap. As much as I like Nordic it would be hard to justify the cost for just a plus 2.Originally Posted by tacoops

This is a bit necro, but I have used a GGG two piece (nut/tube + cap) for a few years without a problem. I do not miss the barrel clamp.
