11-87 magazine tube

[Loopwell]

My wife just put a new Remington 11-87 20 gauge compact in jail. We won't pick up till after new year. Stock i believe it is only 4+1. She is using it for home defense, and im pretty sure i can find some sports to use it with as well. Are there options to extend the magazine to maybe 7+1? I am hoping for minimum modifications.
Thanks

Before you start making any mods, have your wife put 1000 rounds thru it.

That's the best mod you can make for HD purposes.

I have a police 11-87 18-20inch barrel 7+1 2.75or3inch 12ga. And a side saddle. I am sure you can find 20ga
Its only lacking that distinctive sound of racking a pump shotgun
I do agree with previous poster have her shoot a bunch of rounds to get familar with it.

Thanks. Good idea. We'll break it in first!

Choate makes an extension for the lightweight 20 gauge. 6,7,8,9 and 10 shot.
I had an 8 shot on a 1100 lightweight 20, it worked fine.

Dave's Metal Works also modified his Easyloader to work in the lightweight 20, he narrowed the sides to fit in the receiver.This was over 10 years ago, I don't know if he's willing to do it anymore.

Remington make a two shot extension tube and it of course fits that weapon.

pretty simple to put on the extension tube.

I go against the current on the previous advise as far as putting 1000 rounds through it first.

I say but the ext tube on first and then put your rounds through it. You will want to make sure you work through any issues the extension has in terms of any roughness in the transition and the tube its self. Also the balance of the weapon will change a bit when you have more rounds closer to the muzzle - can make it feel like a very different gun. A large male may not notice all that much, however someone with less upper body muscle mass may really feel a difference. Make the mods you are going to make when the weapon is new and then practice. Don't make a change every week. Why practice with a gun thats even a little different than the actual configuration you will use it in if you ever need to deploy it in a HD situation? More that one way to cook a goose, so this is just a view from the other side...
