    Fixed bottom sling mount for 870

    I’m looking for a bottom sling mount for a Remington 870, not a side mount, that is compatible with the Magpul forend. Does one exist?

    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

    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:

    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.

    You can put a magazine extension tube on it and barrel clamp that a sling attaches to.

    I have a magazine extension tube, but can only find side sling mount options, not bottom. If you are a aware of one please link.

    I know you already have an extension, but Wilson Combat makes an extension with sling plate welded on that should clear the Magpul forend since the sling plate is in front of the extension threads.

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

    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.
