shepp Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 love the look of the tactical shot gun, but didnt really like the mossberg/remington price tag. so in me search for an AR a few weeks ago i came across this used 870 express magnum magpul fore grip with backhawk adjustable stock. would like to get an eotec style optic and maybe a tube extension, but idk if i wanna buy the tool to beat the tabs in on the mag tube for 2 extra shells.

planeflyer21 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 How "used" it is (i.e., how old) may be a determining factor on whether or not the magazine needs to be destaked or not.I'm not positive but I want to say the late 1990s is when Remington started staking the magazine tubes.A couple of ways to remove the staking punch marks...iron out or drill. If you don't mind a hole on either side, drill 'em out! They work just like they've been center punched. Deburr and you're good to go!Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Jon, I can't even IMAGINE that you'd recommend a Choate extended tube. That's the same tube that comes on the Moss 930SPX. Don't you know how weak those are, and how easily they dent/jam/fail?... poop, they dent when you LOOK at them...I say that in jest - it's a joke. Nordic Components hasn't had my Moss 930SPX extension in stock... for about a year and a half. Some time ago, on this board, the weakness of the Choate tube was HELL-RAISED by a guy, and I tore his ass up. It was pretty damn good for a minute.I got my junk smashed for that one... :o <dontknow>For those looking - the Choate will work out fine. I still run my Choate extension, to this day. <thumbsup> If NC ever gets my extension made, I'll upgrade to it, but that's the sickness of "upgrading." The NC has an additional advantage over the Choate, and that was what I was looking for - unscrew the endcap and download the tube. Buy the Choate fear-free - it gets more rounds in the tube, and that's the goal. (My weak Choate tube still doesn't have any dents in it, either - I hope that guy comes back and reads this...)

392heminut Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have a Choate tube on my 1100 and we put them on all our dept. issued 870's years ago. The only problem I've ever seen with them was one of the 870 tubes separated from the threaded collar while firing. This was after several hundred rounds of 00 buckshot and slugs had been fired through the gun. As far as I know, the dept. is still using those tubes!Tom, I guess your altercation was before I joined as I don't recall it. I'm truly sorry to have missed it, you're really entertaining when you let someone have it! <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody comes here to enjoy themselves, anything akin to bickering or infighting has to either be kept to PMs or done away with. When you look at our membership numbers, it's astonishing how FEW members we've ever done away with, everybody acts like adults, and everybody seems to enjoy each other's company. It's why I regard 308AR as my all-time favorite gun website, and I'm not just saying that, it is a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telluwhat Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I ordered a +3 Nordic Components tube for my Mossy 930 direct from them. I had ordered it from another vendor (listed on this site) but it was out of stock for them. I waited and then the expected in stock date got pushed back again so I canceled and order from NC. I love that Tube! When I get another barrel I will get another NC too. I sure would like one of those clamps with a rail..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 besides getting a rail tap'd into the top for my burris sight i think i'm done. on my way home from chicago i stopped at cabelas and from a new barrel (that accepts a choke) and only has a bead on the front of it also got one of those ported door breach chokes on it. also put a 3 shell extendtion tube on it a few weeks ago with a magpul barrel tube clamp with sling point.
