Sling swivel for 870 Express with factory extended mag tube

Homerboy · December 5, 2009, 08:34 PM

Wanna put a sling on my 870 Express. It came withe the factory extended mag tube. The sling swivels I see screw in behind the mag tube cap. Anyone know if thsi interferes with the function of the extened magazine?

Saw your post and appreciate it. I just wanted to make sure that putting something between the mag tube and the extended magazine wouldn't affect reliability. I'm posting the same questions regarding AR's. I am much more knowledgeable about handguns.

Wilson Combat components don't make it to the shelf until thoroughly tested. They are a premium supplier and I would trust their parts and concepts above MANY others. As you see, they even covered the detent ball requirement.
The one in the pick is for the 870 i think but the guy who posted modded a Mossberg 930 forestock to use it on that.

Thanks. By the pic, it looks like the indent is on the forend, at the rear closest to the trigger guard. I thought the sling would mount in front of the foreend, between the mag extension nut and the mag tube
