Remington 870 follower?

[insin]

Hello all,
Which aftermarket follower is generally considered best when it comes to replacing the stock orange one? GG&G? S&j? Remington aftermarket?

Thanks

I've had a couple (wish I could remember all of their names off the top of my head) but this is the one I've been running for about a year now and recommend. Its cheap works well and never hangs up...

For full disclosure I make, and sell both if these.

Precision machined 6061 aluminum, orange anodized face, Mil-Spec Dry-Lube coating. Tactile indicators of empty tube (bump or hole). Won't crack or break like plastic followers can, and won't disolve in gun cleaning solvents.

Tactical: For all extended magazine 870 shotguns (will not work with dimpled tubes)


Sport/Tactical: Works in all 870 shotguns.

Anyone ever have a problem with the OEM?

I've had problems with my OEM piece, usually binding while loading. I didnt know if that was specifically the problem, but it was the cheapest option, so that's what I started with and it was fixed. I got the Wilson one, it was cheap and worked.

IMO, the S&J Hardware follower is the best on the market. They can be ordered directly http://sjhardware.com/store/modules....&filter_id=123 or from King Armory http://kingarmory.com/s-j-hardware-products/

In my opinion, I like the GG&G version. It's all aluminum and glides very very smooth. You can even rub a coat of thin coat of oil on it using your finger tips to help it glide even smoother. http://www.gggaz.com/remington-870-follower.html

I replaced my factory follower for two reasons with the GG&G version;

#1. The factory follower is a .25 cent piece of molded plastic. It's cheap and it's crap. You can squeeze it inward, and I'm sure over time it might even break.

#2. My factory follower caused serious binding issues which in turn caused loading and feeding issues. For example, I was only able to get 5 rounds into the tube with the factory follower because of its binding. With the GG&G follower, I'm back up to all 7.

It's a simple and cheap upgrade regardless. A must for all 870 owners!

+1 for Vangcomp. The ones posted above are nice as well. Vangcomp is designed to clear grime and dirt as well.

I'm using the SBE Precision Products's follower

Stock followers are almost always junk. I use an S&J on my Hatsan MP-A.

Well I never even thought about replacing the factory follower. It is a .25 piece of junk. It may be time for that thing to go.
Although I've never had any problems with it. That I've noticed....

I had one on an almost new 870 break into three pieces while out hunting... Did an excellent job of jamming to gun up at a very inopportune time...
