new to shotguns so i have a few questions.

i just got a heck of a deal on a 870. it is used not much. the owner bought it to just screw around and build them up.

i will post pics tomorrow.

first question is this. the original owner put an ext on the mag, and i hate it. it is plastic and looks like crap. what do i need to buy to make it back to the OEM. again sorry for the stupid newb question...

Just get an endcap and it unscrews....trade caps and springs.....that said, I will have my 870 paid off in the next few weeks and would swap you if you want.

All you need is the stock magazine cap that screws on with a stock mag spring. That's it. Try midwayusa.com. Or, just get a better mag extension. It's good to have options. And it's not a bad thing to add some capacity to the good ole 870.

So your post said you'd put pics on here tomorrow and by my post, its tomorrow. :-D

 

[ShotgunPro]

wow....haha....i just woke up...i am doing it right now....you better be up to check them out...haha....

 

[ShotgunPro]

here we go....

changes for sure are the buttstock i dont like that. the forend grip i assume it is called. i hate the pistol grip. i am thinking about the AR butt stock but i like this one Speedfeed 4-S Tactical Pistol Grip Buttstock and Forend (13" Length of Pull) Remington 870 12 Gauge Synthetic Black - MidwayUSA

i am not sure what else i just know i want to get rid of the ext tube and ideas and help will deff work for me.

 

[ShotgunPro]

Very nice, I like it.

get a good mag extension and a clamp with a rail

if my 500 would except mag extentions, I'd have one in a heartbeat. I like having a gun I can still take hunting but swap out a barrel and use for defense.

what's an endcap for a Remington anyway...like 20 bucks? get that and a good extension.
