870 Sling Set-Up

JackFlash · July 23, 2000, 04:21 AM

Anyone make a sling swivel for the front end of a 870? A bracket that fits on the mag tube under the end cap would be nice. I'll settle for something that clamps on the barrel.

-- Oh yeah, this is a 20" bbl. retired Express from the Denver PD.

Uncle Mike's makes a replacement mag tube cap for the 870 that has a sling swivel made onto the end of it. I got one from Brownell's catalog.

You have a coupel options here. First, you can get the bracket that comes standard on 870Ps. It is a barrel/magazine band that has a swivel on the bottom. Uncle Mikes makes a similiar setup. Or you can get a bracket that has the swivel on the side. Check www.cheaperthandirt.com for the product. Or, if you don't have the extended mag tuce, Uncle Mikes makes a setup that replace the magazine cap. Hope this helps.
