Best Rem 870 extension tube and mount for X300?

[Devildawg2531]

I've got a REALLY nice Remington 870 Special Field that is about 25 years old. It has an 18 1/2 barrel and nice checkering in the wood stock. Not "tacticool" at all. I want to make this my HD SG but would like to add a magazine extension tube and a SureFire X300 light.
So my question is which make and model is the best magazine extension for the 870? Don't want the extension to extend beyond the barrel.
What is the best way to mount the X300? I've seen the clamps that mount between the magazine tube extension and barrel - is the best way and which brand is recommended?

So far I've found this Wilson extension tube and have heard its good? Can my 18 1/2 barrel could handle a +3 extension without the mag extension protruding past the barrel?
Still need to find a good mount for the X300.

Appreciate the feedback.

I think +3 ext. will extend past the barrel....

look into Nordic Components and Vang Comp

How do these compare with the Wilson Extension. Any thoughts on mounting the X300? I've looked at the CDM clamps with the rail - but haven't found much feedback.Thanks.

try a nordic +2 with the extra large nordic cap. it can give give you three rounds just short of the length of a 18.5" barrel. for the light, im testing a GG&G forend with the rail at 3oclock with a tlr 1s mounted on it. however you wont get to keep your wood furniture. as far as i know there arent really any options that put the light within reach without a tape switch.

I love the Wilson Combat +2 on my 870, lines up pretty square with the 18.5" barrel. As far as mounting a X300, I would maybe consider this http://www.sgcusa.com/shotgun-accessories/mesa-mag-clamp-w-rail-rem-870.html

I run an Elzetta light mount on my Benelli. Works great

Would be interested in taking the wood stock and forearm off your hands.

If you haven't solved your problem yet, you could also try the forearm from GG&G. It has a section of rail on the side so you can mount your light and have it accessible to you at all times.

I was going to say Nordic also, as I have one on my Benelli, it wont fit my 590A1 worth a crap though, now I see your setup, and Nordic, just became moot, their extesnions are great though.

Hey Dan - I plan to keep my 870 all natural with wood stock and checkering. It was my 1st SG that I got when I was 14 and so it has some nostalgia. Plus all of my other stuff AR's, Glock's, M1A, etc tend to be blacked out so I plan to keep the 870 wood - just add an extension and an X300 and a sling. Haven't done either yet - the 870 has been a safe queen.

+1 for the Wilson Combat

I went with a Wilson Combat +2 with no sling attachment for my 870

I have a Streamlight TLR1 that I plan on mounting on my gun, but still don't know a good way to mount it...

Right now I am really leaning towards waiting for the Magpul Forend to be released and getting it along with a short polymer rail and mounting it that way to keep the light on the forend for easy on/off.

But if you are wanting to keep the wood on your gun then a barrel clamp would be the best bet.

You could go with something like that? It does say that it works with the Nordic Comp extension only I assume... So if you went with the WC extension you may have to do the epoxy trick to get it to clamp tight around the extension... Or get a Nordic Comp extension...

You also have the option of the new Magpul forend, if you wanted to change the furniture. Other than that, I've heard good things about Mesa Tactical for their shotgun upgrades, and they have some clamps. I don't have any experience yet, though.

If you want to mount your x300 real cheap and easy, I found this to be very good for what it is.
