Hello,
New Member here, Happy Friday the 13th.
I'm looking at the TAC 14's.
It seems to me that the 20 gauge would be easier to handle and have a quicker return to target and be better for defense in a small home or vehicle.
I really like the Tac 14 Hardwood with the 1 shot mag extension, handguard flange and strap but it is only available in 12 gauge, BTW the 1 shot Mag Ext looks like it may me made by Nordic... Does anyone know if this is correct?
Long pretext - sorry for rambling on, my question is who might make / where might I obtain a
1 Shot 870 20 Gauge Mag Extension?
Thank you!
BTW, while composing this post I received a return call from Ken at Nordic, he confirmed that Nordic supplies the +1 Ext to Remington that comes on the 12 gauge TAC 14 HARDWOOD and that they are not currently making a +1 for 20 gauge, but it may be in the works, emphasis on may be. Ken said that the more calls they get for a 20 gauge - the sooner they may make them. Ken's phone number is (952) 446-5306.

Re: 1 Shot 870 20 Gauge Mag Extension
Talk about little to no help. Well here it is!
Several years ago I read an article on using the 870 20ga for home defense. The author had listed several accessories that were available for the 20ga and I am sure he covered mag extensions. Unfortunately I did not keep a copy or cannot find the article.
So the info is out there, I just can't supply it. Sorry.

Found an article, written on Vitaly's blog who is also the Administrator here!
Lots of good info. Didn't see a reference to a 1 round mag extension but there is a 2 round mentioned.

Edited to ad an article from Arizona Response Systems, a guy who did some work on my 870.

ARS mentions a 1 round extension from Vang Comp Systems but I didn't see one listed. Perhaps you could contact them.

Thank you very much BK, I will look into both.

If you're open to it, you could also consider contacting gunsmiths or machinists who might be able to create a custom extension for you based on your specifications.

I found that Choate offers a Remington Lightweight 20ga 870 / 1100 / 1187 Shotgun Magazine Extension which might suit your needs.
