I read thru the posts here on THR and like Dave McC suggested to someone else, tried mining the archives at TFL. I must be doing the search thing wrong 'cause I got very poor results, repeatedly.
What I have is an 870 Wingmaster, bought used in middle 80s. Has a 20", 2 & 3/4" cyl barrel -- and has NEVER malfed -- shoots great! I'd guess the gun was built in late 60s or more likely in the seventies, just possibly early 80s. I love this gun!
What I bought, (offered by a TFLer), was a Choate 8 shot mag extension complete with Hi-viz follower, spring and clamp with 1.25" sling swivel. Looks vey nice (but don't go by that. I'm mentally ill -- I think guns are BEAUTIFUL!)
The man I phoned at Choate told me how to install this.
He, didn't however, go into detail on exactly how to remove the plastic spring retainer (under the barrel retaining nut) without buggering it, and I hate to mess up my Wingmaster.
I saw a post about this, on TFL I think, but simply cannot find it now that I need it.
Sure appreciate some advise.
