I take my 870 with the factory installed mag extension to the range today. Load up and fire one shot. SPROING!! The mag spring flys out of the gun! The piece that you turn to tighten the tube from the mag is still clamped to the tube, but the extension moved forward and was completely apart from the piece. I was able to re-screw it back on, and it did it again! I re-screwed it again and finished out the session. Why would they make it so it screws on BOTH ends? Why not have the end attached to the extesnion be permanent? I guess I had it screwed too much on the top and only one or two turns onto the mag tube or something, but I think I'm gonna be ordering a magazine cap and new spring and go back to the standard configuration. How many shells does a standard 870 hold in the tube, 4? I'd rather have 4 that I know work than 6 that may.
