Remington 870 Magazine Tube Dimples

SilentSoul · 02-18-2008, 06:19 PM

I've got a Remington 870 Express magnum and upon trying to install an extended mag tube I noticed the two dimples on the mag tube. My first question is how do you guys get rid of those dimples, I would rather not drill them out. Also can you recommend a good after market black synthetic stock and forend, maybe something like a tactical 4 position stock at a good price. Thank you for your help.

Drill them out - it's the standard procedure.

Knoxx stock! Worth the money. The forestock on my 870 below well be for sale cheap as soon as my Surefire replacement shows up.

I just ground the dimples off with a dremel.

and knoxx is a good stock have the spec ops on my 870 as well. Ive been thinking about getting the sure fire grip for it too.

Do they make a tool to press out the dimples? Someone told me Brownells may have just that. Also madcrate how long is that barrel and who makes it? I like those sights. Thanks
