I have 2 brand new 870s and want to do some switching around.
The first 870 is the express deer gun, 20" smoothbore with rifle sights.
Then I picked up a synthetic express, 18" bead sight, and factory extended mag tube.
This is what I want to do.....I think. Put the 20" rifle sight barrel on the syn 870 with extended mag tube. (which I should have just ordered in the first place)
Thing is, I cant figure out how to take off the barrel of the 870 with the extended tube, the regular tubed 870 comes off easy, is there a trick to taking off the extended mag thing, or am I a wuss? I cant turn it by hand. The manual doesnt show any instructions for removing the extended mag tube version.
Thanks for making me smart!
