Recreating a USMC 870 Mk 1

[PRegner]

Does anybody know where I can find the front sight/brace/bayonet/sling assembley for a USMC 870 mk 1? I don't mind a reproduced piece (if there are any being made anywhere).

Additional illustration to show other members how USMC bayonet adapter looks like:

Something tells me I'm going to have to start applying my fledgling fabrication skills. I've been looking for one of these adapters for the last couple of years, and have thus far come-up short.

I'm thinking that making a template for the part out of poster board, and using it to cut the sheet metal will be the easy part (those adapters are two-piece). I'm not too sure of how to tackle the bending and forming part of the project (not to mention, finding a bayonet lug with a swing swivel to weld onto the adapter).

Wish me luck!

I've been considering the product in your link (should my attempt at fabricating an accurate Mk1 adapter fail). I'm going to use a 20" improved cylinder barrel, and would like the extension to be just short of, or even with the end of the barrel. Do you happen to know the over-all lengths of the +2 and +3 extensions? I'm trying to imbed a picture of the shotgun I'm trying to replicate:

Our +3 mag tubes fit flush with a 20 inch bbl

I've been following a similar thread on the AR15 forum - in the retro shotgun section.

Someone IS in the process of remanufacturing the original Remington type USMC bayonet lug

If you cannot find the link PM me & I will post it for you

Someone on Ebay is currently selling an original USMC +3 extension and front clamp/bayonet lug:

Here's the link.

Rock solid clamp! I wish I could buy a replica at more affordable price

When i had my 20" barrel installed on my 870 my +3 ext came out dead even to the barrel, i'll be damned if i know the brand though (came with the gun). I know Choate's +2 is just short of the 18" barrel, so id imagine it'd be the same for the +3 ext with a 20" barrel. I know the newer Remington brand +2 and +3 ext's come even with the end of the barrel. I hope that helps.
