I ordered a 30" barrel to try learning trap, and I didnt realize that 870 home defense owners can have issues putting other barrels on. I just checked, mine has a real 4 shot magazine, a 2 shot screw on extension, and no "dimples" or detents anywhere I can see. The barrel just slides on, and then the mag extension tube screws in, makes ratcheting sound going on. Just a spring, no other parts I can see (unless I lost them).
So, with this setup, can I just install the new barrel and use the mag extension tube and clamp? Or do I need a new cap? Looks like there are universal, old style, dimples, or ratcheting. I don't want to use the extension because it will end up scratching my new barrel when I put the clamp on. Should I just get the universal Remington cap with swivels? And can I use the same magazine spring?
At least my gun doesn't have the fixed 6 round magazine. Then I think I would be outta luck!
