Best mag extension for 870?

[River Jack]

I'm looking to add a 2-shot mag extension to my 870. I would like a high quality product that is blued and will be the same length as my 18" barrel (not an inch longer like a few I've seen). Any recommendations?

There's a large amount to choose from this site. http://www.tjgeneralstore.com/magazine_extensions.htm

But I'd recommend looking online for the cheapest/best deal.

I was going to get one but I need a shorter barrel thats around 18 inches. (Mines 28 inches)

Thanks for the reply. However, I'm not really looking for the cheapest or best deal; I'm looking for the best quality, sturdiest, nicest, etc. Now, if they are all the same, then the cheapest one will do.

I got mine from Max100 from shotgunworld.com. Its a +3 parkerized extension that sits flush with the 18.5" bbl. I got itfrom him for about $70. Top quality product for a guy with his own lathe. I'd post a pic but I'm on a itouch. You can find it in the shotgun picture thread.

ETA: his name is MAX100 on the boards.

Just to make sure, you do realize that this is purely aesthetics, right? The ones that sit a little bit longer than the barrel have no negative effects whatsoever. Period. And you get a 3rd round.

My preference is the factory extension with the magazine clamp as additional support.

Take a look at the Wilson Combat extensions. 18" barrel shown below

They're all pretty much the same. I wouldn't want to overpay for them since it would be a waste of money. $40-60 should be a decent price range for a solid extension. Mind you, the longer it is, the more expensive it will be.

Here's a pic of my Max100 +3 extension that sits flush with a 18.5" bbl. The factory one's are only +2 because of the mag clamp bolt indent. Max100 figured out he could get +3 in the same amount of space and have it function fine.

Look into Hans Vang's +2 ext...made from solid bar stock so a clamp is not needed, and it sits just a bit back from end of 18" barrel muzzle.
