Best 870p mag extension ?

**og556** · 02-13-13, 11:23

I have a new 870P coming to me soon with the WC rear ghost ring and XS front sight. It has the stock 4+1 magazine capacity.

Since this is a police model I can install any mag tube without drilling any thing.

From what I have read about mag extensions on various boards it is recommended they be secured with a barrel clamp.

I am considering either a Vang Comp +2 with a Mesa Tactical barrel clamp or preferably a Remington Factory +2 extension with a barrel clamp.

Of these two choices has any one had much experience with them ?

Also does any one know where I can buy a Remington Factory +2 extension ?

No experience with those two. But I would look into the Nordic Components mag extension. It is a three part design (tube, tube cap, tube nut) so if you ever want to add or subtract length all you have to do is buy another sized tube. Its also very well built and light weight.

It does not appear as though the Remington Factory +2 extension is on their online shop.

Any third party vendors you guys know of which might have this in stock ?

Also the Nordic Components magazine extension does not come with a clamp and is very similar to the Vang Comp and Wilson Combat offerings.

Between the three third party tubes from what I have read the Vang Comp and Wilson Combat +2 extensions are most popular. I personally am leaning more towards the Vang Comp but if I can find a Remington Factory +2 for the 870 with the clamp I'll be all over that.

Nordic Comp is out of most of their stuff, they're not replying to any communication, and while their product is top notch, I was ticked because my +2 benelli extension would only occasionally allow me to actually load +2 without buying the accessory tip which was a bit longer, which wouldn't have been a problem had they actually answered their emails/phones/etc.

All the vendors were perpetually back-ordered.

Vang Comp is the last word in Remington stuff. Get his extension, and while you're at it send off your barrel for his magic treatment.

I have never ordered anything from their online shop. When I have purchased parts I have always ordered off their parts list. Try calling thier customer support line or send them and email.

I also see the factory extension kits on ebay from time to time. This looks like a factory 3-shot extension minus the factory clamp, which you ought to be able buy somewhere: http://www.ebay.com/itm/REMINGTON-87...item1c30052027

Here is a 2-shot full kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Remington-87...item19d8543d35

If I were you, I would jump on the Buy It Now.

Here is another one, auction only: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Remington-87...item460cb5bb86

og - that's the same model 870P I've had for a few years;nice shotgun. I added the parkerized 2-shot extension from Remington, part #19420 I think. You can try calling Remington service direct or backorder from Midway or Brownells. Just be sure to verify that the barrel clamp with the kit is the "X" marked clamp.
I have no experience with the other mag extensions but I would bet they are quality pieces and would serve you well also.
