Magazine Extensions for Remington 870

Yeah, that breacher choke lines up nicely, the extension may get a little dirty from gas and powder residue, but you shouldn't have any functional problems.

Is that a CDM Gear clamp?

Synchronizor, the clamp is CDM's BMT model.

Thanks, ponycarman. The magazine extends beyond the breacher maybe a 1/16".

I am wanting to ad the Nordic component plus one magazine extension but I haven't seen any added to the model 870 that I have. My only concern is if the plus one extension will make the magazine tube longer than the barrel. Or will it be flush?

Here is the model I have

The MXT series will add 3.1" to 3.5" (according to their website).

Any thoughts on the Wilson combat +2 on a 18.5" barrel

Those barrels have about two inches between the front of the guide ring and the muzzle. Anything longer than that will extend past the muzzle, but apart from being a possible cosmetic issue, that's not a big deal. The end of the extension may get dirty, but no +1 is going to stick out far enough to get hit by shot.

Is it the model with the standard 4-round magazine tube, or the single-piece 6-round tube?

Does your 870 use a plastic spring retainer and an internal-ratchet magazine cap, or does it have a locking detent in the barrel guide ring? If the barrel doesn't have a detent in the guide ring, an unclamped extension may work its way loose under recoil. I have a WC +1 extension, and I have to keep tightening it when I use it with my barrel that doesn't have a detent.
