Reviews & Ratings for Choate Tool Remington 870/1100/1187/Versamax 7 Shot Extension 12 Gauge+2 Rounds — 7 reviews — Page 1

Seems like good quality. Works fine. Take care to ensure that spring doesn’t get hung up on the interface of the extension and the original magazine tube. If it does, slightly loosen the extension until the spring pops loose and fully extends. Then tighten the extension until. I also added black tape to the mounting side of the clamp to avoid scratching the barrel or extension.

Added to a ‘78 870 Slug gun. No dimples made it super easy to install. I like the orange follower, I can see it easier. My worry was it would stick out beyond the barrel and that was not the look I wanted. Luckily it still has about an inch to go. Would recommend for your retro pump to modern tactical build.

Highly recommend this product. Excellent quality, 5 minute install. I have an older 870 so no retainer dimples or spring.

I bought this for my son for Christmas, and we are both extremely satisfied with the extender! Outstanding quality and fit, great price, and very easy to install. I highly recommend Optics Planet and their products!

I have a remington clone. When I first bought it, it came only 3 round capacity.i took the follower out and extended it to 5+1. Now it holds 7 high brass. 8 low brass. Looks menacing. Magazine tube sticks out a little further than the barrel. Love it

TRANSLATION: "Choate +2 rounds mag extension for Remington 870/1100/11-87/Versamax fits 11-48 series 12 gauge shotguns too." At the risk of repeating what may have already been submitted here, I offer the following. Through research and experience I learned this device fits the 11-48 series of shotguns perfectly (including Sportsman and Mohawk). It does, however, leave a 1/4" gap between the extension and forearm WHICH CAN BE FILLED BEAUTIFULLY with the eye-piece locking ring from a cheap sacrificial 1" scope. In fact the finished product looks like it came from the factory. I fit one to my 11-48 using a slightly reamed out eye-piece locking ring from an old Tasco scope and, again, it looks like it came from the factory. I have yet to fire the weapon but have repeatedly loaded and cycled the now 6-shot mag tube with no hiccups. Be advised, using a spacer precludes the use of the detent/ball indexing/locking mechanism on these type shotguns, but a little gunsmithing (or blue locktite) could resolve that issue. FWIW, I have no experience with longer Choate extensions or those from other manufacturers.
