Remington 870 Swivel Stud

[shoupdawg]

Hi Folks - I spent about an hour searching on Calguns and Google, but to be sure, I would like to ask you all. I'm looking for a sling swivel stud to find the barrel clamp of my Remington 870.



I found this (YHM-9469 Swivel Stud) but want to know if it fits the 870 barrel clamp.

Another member shared this (REMINGTON M870/1100/1187 MAGAZINE CLAMP & SWIV STUD) with me, but I'd rather just have the YHM if it fits as it's less than half the size after shipping.

Any thoughts?

THanks in advance!

Looks like either will work.. The stud should fit your clamp..

Joe - Have you used it? Eyeballing the opening in my clamp and then eyeballing the stud...it seems like the hole is too big and the stud is too small?

I am not sure that stud will fit as the QD stud on the remingotn clamp is pressed on. The bracket you have is for a weapon that has a dedicated forend light as you don't want the sling infront of the light so I don't put a stud on that bracket. The price of that brack in the link is a good price as they comst much more then that retail. Be safe, get the Remington bracket with the QD stud.

20 bucks for a remington bracket is a good deal. I'd do that one then sell the old bracket to get back some of my money.

Before anone installs an after market sling plate between the barrel ring and the mag tube coupling of an 870 they should messure their mag tube. It should be 11.5" long. Problem is that even at that length you are taking away threads form the mag tube coupling. If you ever saw a Remington tube exentsion or other tube extension on an 870 go down range, check and see if the guy has an after market sling plate. Good chance he does and the mag tube is a little short.

Sad but true that many of the mag tubes are coming a tad short and if you are anywhere shorter then 11.5" then forget the after market sling plate. You may get by with a 1/16 short but anything shorter is pushing it.

I think I'll just get a brand new clamp like JD and LB21 mentioned. I also read that with the sling plate, it gets uncomfy if you end up having to carry the shotgun for an extended period of time, which is why I would use a sling.

Thanks All!
