The Remington 870’s trigger plate assembly is attached to the receiver by means of two trigger plate pins. Holding these pins in place are two clips called trigger plate pin detent springs.
In this video, I go over three easy things you can do with these detent springs: moving the front spring over to the same side as the rear spring for simplified takedown & assembly, adding a second front detent spring for more secure pin retention, and removing all detent springs to simplify installation of receiver-mount accessories.
It’s a brief video, but the subject isn’t all that involved. This length also helps me avoid some of the software issues I’ve been dealing with, and as I’m still struggling with retrieving video #3 from the POS flash drive that swallowed it, I wanted to cover a subject I could knock out in a weekend.
This continues my series of how-to videos with the Remington 870 shotgun. There are several other topics I have planned for future videos, but I’d love to hear any suggestions you might have for video topics. If it’s a feasible idea, I’ll add it to the list.
I’d also appreciate any comments on the format of this series; things you liked, things you didn’t like, things you’d like to see done differently, etc. I’m still playing around with styles and programs, figuring out what works, what works well, and what doesn’t work at all, so any input would help me out.
I’ve been working with AVS Video Editor 6.3 for both this video and #3. It’s got a clunky, frustrating interface, it sticks a watermark on top of the video every 4 minutes, it is extremely unreliable when it comes to trimming and adjusting clips, and I basically spend half my time yelling at the computer screen. On the other hand, it’s still better than Windows Movie Maker…
