Ass-u-me ing you have one of theses:
https://www.magpul.com/products/moe-...-remington-870
I don't know of a one stop m-lok sling mount. If you mean QD, this one works:
https://www.magpul.com/products/m-lok-qd-sling-mount
and then any QD swivel.
If you mean traditional fixed sling mounts, it is also a two piece deal:

or
https://www.magpul.com/products/m-lok-bipod-mount
and then:

I would prefer not to have my sling moving back and forth with the forearm. Back in the day a lot of folks used these as fixed sling attachment points and hand stops on entry shotguns:
The original: https://sjhardware.com/collections/s...nt-sling-plate
The Clone: https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/prod...ategory=118595
Another variation https://www.clickarmory.com/shooting...remington-870/ (not sure about shipping from Canada)
I probably didn’t explain as well as I should have. I do not want the sling attached to the Magpul forend itself. The problem with the ones you linked to at the bottom is they will not work with the Magpul forend because it extends out around the magazine cap that these mounts install behind, thus interfering with the action.Quote:

That certainly is an option I didn't know about it, thanks.Quote:

The only one making a clamp with a bottom mount I know of is Remington and it only works on their tubes with the groove. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/10...eel-parkerized I run my sling off of the LH side of a Nordic clamp. Why are you dead set on attaching the sling to the bottom?? Please don't take this as a personal attack but... The only time I would see it as an advantage is Elmer Fudd hunter style... With the long gun slung just over your strong side shoulder(not neck) muzzle up.
Because a side mount interferes with my light setup. I see lots of guys running bottom mounts, it’s not that uncommon.Quote:

I use a Sage 3 shot extension for 3 gun/most of the time use and flip the clamp around so the stud is on the side opposite of the light mount. I sling it muzzle down so it really is a 6 of 1/half dozen of the other thing.
During Turkey season I use the standard cap with this
https://www.unclemikes.com/products/...st-pumps-autos
But with 1.25" swivels and sling instead of the 1". The forearm will push the swivel out of the way with sling installed, but will snag on the swivel with sling removed and I would be leary of using 1"on it after noticing that issue. Only bad thing I have seen about the Magpul 870 forearm.
First you'd need one of these:
https://outdoorsportsusa.com/Shotgun...icatinny-Mount
Personally, I'd but this one and hope they sent a sticker: https://twotesticlestactical.co/prod...yABEgIk0vD_BwE
Pretty sure this would work with the swivels below: https://www.flashlightdistributor.co...SABEgIswvD_BwE
And then you'd need one of these:
https://www.brownells.com/shooting-a...prod24169.aspx
https://www.primaryarms.com/midwest-...mount-mctar-08

I’m going to try the Wilson Combat mag extension with built in sling mount, simple and should fit the bill.
They want $104 for a +2 extension with sling plate?! They know an entire 870 only costs $300, right?Quote:

edit : Ah nm, you clarified you don't want it on the handguard.
If you actually choose the different extensions, their prices are:Quote:

Yikes!
Missed that, sorry.Quote:
