Title: shotgun magazine extention question
Post by: DoubleJ on January 24, 2013, 09:02:18 PM: Because of a gift card, I'm limited to a certain retailer. I am looking for a 7rd magazine extension for my Remington 870. They only have the 8rd magazine. They have 7rd extensions for the Benelli Nova. Will it fit or do the threads not match?

Also, on the 870, depending on the model be prepared to drill out the dimples that hold the follower in your current mag tube. Not hard, but kind of pain.

The 7 round might have just been out of stock? Maybe check their website

This. I bought the 8 rounder a few months ago from Cabelas and had to take it back because it stuck out about 2" past the end of the barrel
