Sling mount options for 870

[aybyman]

Hello,

What are the best options for slings for 870?

Single or Double? If i use a double what's the best front mount?

Thanks!

I never really like single-point for my SG... it was awkward for me for some of my drills. I used standard 2-point system, with a sling-plate at the rear of the receiver and at the tube-nut. Several different manufactures does the plate... check:

GG&G
Wilson Combat

ordered a GG&G rear receiver sling plate to match the front GG&G I got locally... took then 4 weeks to even call me to find out if I still wanted it.

don't buy direct from GG&G

I dont have a front tube nut due to the factory installed magazine extension...what are my options now?

Highly recommend the Giles sling! It can be ordered with or without attachments, whatever you require.

The factory mag extension that came on my 870 has a barrel clamp with a pivoting stud that accepts a sling clip.

the factory mag extension is removable - the nut that you remove to take off the barrel is where the sling mount goes.
It's where mine is.
