My shotgun is broken

[JJB11B]

So at somepoint during its life My Remington 870 Security shotgun has been broken. I went to clean it tonight and noticed as I unscrewed the magazine extension that it was wobbleing as I turned it . I knew what was going on before I looked and tried to imagine it wasn't happening. Not only was it cross threaded, But it also DESTROYED the threads on the SOB. So, Here is where I am at. Can you replace the sumbeach? or should I just Jerry rig it?  Thats my campin gun. It fits nicely in my pillow case and is small enough to keep in my truck when I am not at work. With a side saddle shell holder on there you can topload her real fast and I like that....Now I am un tacticool.

That is not a good thing.  I'd hate to give you bad advice. I started thinking tap and dye sets at first. Not to sure what I would do. I guess I would need to be in you shoes. Sorry.

I have 3 dufferent tap and die sets but none that big. there is not enough metal there to do that.

replace it.  the words jerry rig and gun DO NOT GO TOGETHER!!!! that is the piece that holds the dang barell on.  fix it right.

I also agree with last post not enough metal there to fix if it comes loose during fireing your going to be in a bad way real quick

I buy parts from Numrich all the time, My question is. Can you do this yourself?

[JackOfAllTrades]

You should be able to change the fore-end tube assembly yourself.

JB, if you can't do that yourself you probably shouldn't own it. I accidentally took my mag off once when I was cleaning it the first time before I long term loaned it to my god-daughters dad. It's really pretty simple.

[JJB11B]

I just assumed that the tube was welded or soldered into the receiver

[wraithen]

Heck no! Ever hear of the extended mags for shotguns? That would make those a real PITA! 

[JJB11B]

The magazine extension tube is what stripped out the threading on my stock magazine tube

[wraithen]

Let me backtrack. You are screwed. I was thinking someone else. I feel like crap for opening my mouth. It was not a remmy. Remmy's apparently are not user removeable. Apparently they involve some thorough work. I really feel  bad now man. I really apologize for getting your hopes up.

Its Ok, One of my hunting buddies here in town  "Doug6xc" is a gunsmith. Ill pay him to do it and I know I can trust him to do quality work.

Sweet deal man. Where are you? I've been looking for a decent smith to clean up and old 94. According to the blow up in the owner's manual you may be able to remove a bolted piece to the receiver that is permanently attached to the mag. I used the online generic 870 owners manual here to find it. I know with guns just about anything is possible
