Re: Magazine Extensions for Remington 870
Bought the Choate for Franz. Hans has the Remington factory +2 and a decent barrel clamp.
On the Choate , I cut a few inches off the spring because it seemed ridiculously long. I'm using a Brownell's SS Follower on the Choate and I'll report how it all works together hopefully soon. Otherwise, it seems decent enough, but I have yet to fire the damned thing.
On the R'ton +2, I'm using the SBE follower, but it is also yet to be field tested.

How tight is tight for barrel clamps?
I noticed today that my Choate barrel clamp kept sliding down towards the front sight and I had to keep repositioning and tightening it every 10-20 rounds.
Since I plan getting the CDM Gear MOD-C clamp, this may be irrelevant. It was damn annoying today though.

CDM Gear clamp doesn't have such problem, it stays in place even after 100 rounds.TFuller wrote:How tight is tight for barrel clamps?

I've always been partial to the Choate extension but yes, pick up a more substantial clamp before you rely on it.

Re: Magazine Extensions for Remington 870
Shortly after getting my Wingmaster, I bought a TacStar +3 mag. tube extension. It fits really well and looks great under the 20in barrel. The only this is the ext. is matte black and the gun is blue. It looks a little goofy but works extremely well. My Wingmaster didn't have the indents in the tube so I didn't have to worry about that. Also I'm still using the stock follower but will upgrade soon.

I've heard a lot of good opinions about TacStar extension. Helljumper09, what magazine clamp do you use?Helljumper09 wrote:Shortly after getting my Wingmaster, I bought a TacStar +3 mag. tube extension.

Re: Magazine Extensions for Remington 870
I am currentl using an ATI clamp. Actually using two, one to hold the extension to the barrel and the other one to hold a LED light to the extension. They work well but in my case, I had to buy new nuts and bolts for both of the in order to fit right. No big deal though.

Has anyone got an opinion on the Nordic clamp?
