I have a new Remington 870 Express 12 gauge that I recently purchased a 2 round tube extension for.

There are two detents in the mag tube that need to be removed in order for it to feed correctly.

I have seen various ways of removing the detents, but would like to know the PROPER way of doing it, so to not compromise cosmetics and create future issues with functionality.

I've heard everything from filing the detents down with a file or dremel, using a socket to tap them out, and even completely drilling them out with a bit.

Any info on how to correctly go about this would be greatly appreciated.
