Unfortunately it is probably just the tactical model rather than the actual Magpul edition. The two piece tube is a dead give away, not to mention the Magpul comes with a black cerakote finish from the factory. I dont see why anyone would pay to add a second layer so soon unless replicating a Magpul. Either way it is more versatile with your tube configuration, looks nearly identical, and I still a sweet scattergun!t3h_sober1 wrote:To my knowledge it is a Magpul edition. I was under the impression that they came with the one piece magazine tube as well. Im not sure how to i.d. it as a true magpul edition or another model.

Re: Lets have some pictures of your builds.
New member here, been doing some research on the Rem 870 and came across this great forum
Thought I throw pic up of my 1991 Remington 870 Police Magnum that saw service with the Ramapo, NY P.D.
I picked it up locally here in AR.
Currently it shows aftermarket extension tube, which I am changing out for a original Rem Parkerized Extension tube
and will match the shotugn. It is still serving with me now on the job simple but still effective.
Brown tape on butt stock is left as it was, The former PD marked their shotgun with this tape and stamped it Ramapo, P.D.

Re: Lets have some pictures of your builds.
Nice! I love mine. Works and looks great when properly installed. What is that in front of the buttpad? A spacer?

theY also stamp Ramapo P.D. right along the top edge of the tape on the right side.
I just hadn't removed it, figured I'd leave it alone as that's the way it came from the Dept.

Re: Lets have some pictures of your builds.
Very nice 870 Gunny, I love the traditional riot gun look with the Police wood. My preferred HD build is pretty much the same thing, just with a 20" barrel and a +3 extension. I've also kept the old armory number on the stock.
Everyone always seems to gravitate toward the black (or FDE, the new black, apparently...) polymer and pistol-grip stocks, but I personally find the traditional walnut to be tougher, more comfortable, and faster-handling than anything else. The 870's controls just seem to work much better with a semi-grip stock; and while I'm a pistol-grip stock feels and shoots nice in an ideal stance, it's awkward to swing it at someone's head or groin, and tough to hang onto if someone grab's the muzzle.
You won't be disappointed with the Remington extension, and not just because the finish matches. They were originally developed for military-contract 870s, and they're a real military design, unlike so many other products that are actually aimed at the civilian market, but are slapped with meaningless "mil-spec"/LEO labels and modeled by people wearing camouflage clothing to cater to self-imagined commandos. This background shows up in the features: tough steel construction, permanently-attached end cap (sized to accept M-16 bayonets), built-in follower stop to prevent the spring from over-compressing and binding up (though it sacrifices capacity with some 3" shells), corresponding notch on the outside to keep the bracket (or bayonet mount) in one place, two-piece design for a smooth interior transition between tube sections, and modular assembly with all parts but one shared between the different-capacity kits.
If you want an extended magazine for a hunting, sporting, or recreational build, there are some nice aftermarket offerings that are lighter or offer a little more usable space in the tube for accommodating longer 3" shells; but for a combat or defensive gun, where the foremost priorities are maximum durability and absolute reliability with 2.75" shells, there's nothing better than the Remington extensions.
