Sidewinder for Remington 870 ???

[CaCrusin]

I need some feedback from the members of this forum. We are considering a Remington version of the Sidewinder and I would like to know how it would be received. For those who don't like the Mossberg version this should be a moot point, but for the rest of you, what do you think?

The conversion would be done by us in our factory. It would be a permanent conversion as the magazine tubes on Remington shotguns are permanently attached. The drums and box magazines from the Mossberg kit would fit the 870 as well. The cost, including return shipping, would be between $315 and $350 with one drum.

So what do you think? Would you send your Remington in for conversion? (I won't hold you to it.)

Might as well make one, but I doubt it's going to be a big hit or anything. I think the idea is kind of cool. I guess the best thing it has going for it is the quick reloading. 10 rounds is a decent amount, but you can get 8 with a mag extender.

I wouldn't personally ever get one, as I think they are a bit "tacticool" as folks around here like to say. I watched the video of it from your site, and it looks like fun, but a bit pricey.

I'm a bit interested in your "Cornerlock" though. I might have to get one.

if you made the magazine slot in the loading port instead of an integral part of the tube, you'd sell more of them. The main problem with the mossverg kit, IMHO is the fact that you have to reach so far forward to work the pump.
