drail, Like Dfariswheel said, the newer 7 shot 870's are different. Where the old ones had a magzine that held 4 shells and required a 2 round magazine extension to make it hold 6, the new ones have a magazine tube that holds 6 by itself. If you check aound the internet, you will find instructions on how to make a spacer tube that will take up the space between the Vent Rib barrel's lug and the magazine nut. (You can use a piece of PVC pipe.) This was talked about here on TFL not long ago. That or see if Remington makes a 28" VR barrel to fit the 6 round magazine model.
