I have made my decision and am sticking with it. Again, I reference the two FACTORY shotguns with NO barrel clamps at all. Especially the Mossberg 930 SPX, which appears to be identical to what I have installed Look, if bent extensions were happening with these guns, don't you think there would be numerous reports of it a well as complaints to the factory? There aren't. The "leverage" put in these tubes is in a straight line. I do not keep my shotgun loaded 24 hours a day, so the only time any "leverage" would be on it is when I am ready to shoot it. The clamps I have seen so far are cheap POS clamps. Unless and until I find a clamp off an 870 Mark 1...NO CLAMPS. Period.

TheKlawMan: Dimples are gone. If I left them on it would still be a 5 shot as the follower would stop at the dimples. Good ol' Dremel took care of those little suckers

I don't know everything. But I know what I want and don't want. The search continues for the Mark 1 clamp.
