Barrel clamp

Looking for a good simple effective and cheap clamp for my Wilson combat +2

ATI's plastic clamp has worked well for me. Won't scratch barrel or mag tube and you can really crank it down for no slippage. Fits my TacStar tube perfectly. I think they run about $10.

My experience with the plastic ATI clamp was not real positive, mostly because the thing had no grip and just wouldn't stay put. You could give it a try though, $10 (or whatever it is in your area) isn't much of a risk, and some stick-on or spray-on grip material could keep it from sliding around on you.

I was thinking of mentioning the CDM Gear line, but I figured that was out of your price range.

You can order just the clamp without the rail for $42.95 and you still have the built in sling mount. If you want to go cheap, for about $20 you can get the sheet metal style stamped clamps on eBay for about $15. A word of advice for any metal clamp, other than CDM Gear, is to get a set of CDM Gear poly pads for your clamp for about $3 plus shipping. They protect your finish and stop the clamp from moving around.

This is always a great choice for a Clamp. It's called a Magpul Forward Sling Point. It's not made for mounting lights, but has a forward sling mount. Bottom line it's a very good Clamp, and even comes with little silicone pads that fit between the clamp/mag and barrel. It does cost $30 bucks though.

Agree, very nice clamp and sling mount, my review: Remington 870 Forward Sling Mount by Magpul

I've seen some people use the WC extension in conjunction with the Clark Custom Guns barrel clamp with no reported issues. It also looks nice being low-profile and all. The problem is apparently that the clamp is designed for 11-87's and some people have reported that using it on an 870 w/a WC extension makes it squeeze the barrel and extension together too much.

I think the WC extensions are competitively priced, nice looking and a good overall value coming with a new follower, spring and integrated sling swivel. The reason why I stuck with OEM is because it includes a clamp and a groove to index it in place. Running an extension without a clamp puts it at risk of being sheared off if you accidentally hit the shotgun extension-first against something. It is secured only by the thin magazine tube wall.
