FYI I'm Very inexperienced and this is my first shotgun. I was just curious how do I remove this magazine retainer? I'm pretty sure there's a magazine plug because I can only fit 2 shells in the magazine tube. I am trying to remove the plug but I cannot figure out how to remove the retainer. Any tips/advice is greatly appreciated thank you!

Went to sight it in today (federal rifled slugs) I’m out of adjustment and still shooting a foot low at 25 yards any advice on my next steps??
Hi all! Thinking of picking up a spare stock and forend for my 870 express to possibly cerakote/paint for hunting. It’s a beater hunting shotgun and would like to experiment with different patterns/stencils. Are all 870 stocks/forends compatible? I have heard some aren’t…thanks!
Looking for this type of parallel to the barrel tac 14 adaptor with a SB brace and wondering if it’s still available on the market. Thanks in advance. :)
Just bought this wingmaster off an older guy who comes into my business from time to time for 100$. Not sure of the year but he said he's had it since the 80s and bought it used. My question is do the new model wingmaster tube extension is fit these older models?
Pretty much covered it... Looking for an 870 wingmaster subreddit
I'm trying to disassemble my 870 for my first time cleaning it, but when I twist the cap to get the barrel off it clicks a few time then stops, this is in either direction. Help?
All the year talk is about the barrel numbers and letters. What about the SN on the receiver? The barrel can be changed or damaged. Why don’t they have info on the receiver SN? Mine is….. V079671 V
Can someone tell me where the over decoys choke fits in to the (modified, improved, full) hierarchy
I bought an 870 about 8 years ago and I’m just now getting ready to use it for turkey. The question I had is whether or not it can fire 3.5” shells! I’m seeing a lot of conflicting information about the receiver serial numbers so I thought I would ask here. My serial number prefix is CC and the suffix is A. Can it fire 3.5” shells? Thank you in advance!
I have a 870 that I am in the process of cleaning and have disassembled it. The interior wood of the pump that touches the mag is very coarse and rough. Should I sand it down or not worry about it?
Regarding the OEM saddle mount for the 870, Does anyone happen to know what the torque specs in inch pounds should be on the screws that go through the trigger pin holes. I'm think not too much to affect the trigger assembly.

I have had this gun for years and carried it on duty. I have seen the psychological effects the sight and sound of a pump action does to a criminal. I know how comforting this gun in hand is when I was scared on a few calls. It will always have a place with me.
Pump Action:
Legs tremble
Pants get messy
And people lock up
Hey all. I searched but the answers seem to be all over the place. I bought a Remington 870 Express Super Magnum back in 2000 when a friend wanted to go pheasant hunting. I shot it maybe 3 times over the years and really never picked it back up again. It's been sitting in the original box for all that time. A few weeks ago, I got a wild hair to see if I could trade it in for a home defense gun (Mossberg 590 or similar) but they only offered $160 because of some light surface rust (I live in the southwest high desert so moisture wasn't a factor). I declined and just decided to keep it. The long barrel is worthless to me though for home defense so I started looking for a replacement barrel. I know I can have the original cut down but I'd like to keep the long barrel in case I need to hunt birds when SHTF. So my question is if the 870 barrels (bird hunting variants) are all compatible across the years with shorter 18.5 ones as replacements? I know the 3.5" magnum rounds should not be used on these shorter barrels (I'll just be running 2 3/4" and 3" shells - probably 00 buck) and that seems to be the main compatibility issue. I found a Carlson's barrel in 18.5 for an 870 but before I pull the trigger (pun intended) other than the 3.5" shell compatibility, is there anything else I need to look out for in a barrel purchase? Thanks!
Wondering what height of scope rings to mount on a pic receiver of a 12 gauge 870 express. The Vortex pro rings have height options of low, medium, or high. Also, there are iron sights on the barrel, so don't want those to obscure the view.
I am new to working on pump action shotguns. This is a Remington 870 tactical that gets used a lot a work and hasn’t been well maintained until I offered to do so. What would cause this? It’s like the shell rim is snagging something near the front of the ejector. My guess is the slight burrs on the metal near breech lock area. What do you guys think?
Basically stole this brand new DSF forend from Facebook marketplace for $100. What’s everyone’s favorite ghost ring sights for the 870?
