I have a Remington 870 HD with an 18 inch barrel and a stock factory mag extension which brings the capacity up to 6+1. My question is why do other shotguns such as the Winchester 1300 and Mossberg 500's with the exact same barrel length hold 7+1 with their factory magazine extensions? I have seen after market +2 extensions for Remington 870's with 18 inch barrels and I wonder why Remington doesn't use these. And I was also wondering which of these aftermarket extensions you guys would recommend.
