A Remington 870 Express Tactical with 7 round magazine properly and safely modified to accept generic Remington 870 barrels. I did it with a piece of aluminum tube stock with a 1" ID and 1 1/4" OD purchased from metalsdepot.com. Cut to 4 7/8", with a bit of sanding on the inside using a drill extension and 1" paddle sander both purchased from Northern equipment. For the coating... some Rustoleum primer and a some Rustoleum Matte black finish... three coats of each. I used a 450 grit sand paper to get the inside very smooth so as not to scratch the magazine.

I have a picture but am new to this forum and couldn't get it to load. Anyway, if you'd like a picture, shoot me an email... It's a perfect match.

By the way, I emailed Remington and they said that they do have an adaptor in the works but do not know when it'll be available.
