Remington 870 Mount Specific FAQ's
A: All SMOOTH BORE 12 gauge barrels, including the 3.5 inch Super Magnum. It will NOT fit any brand of RIFLED 870 barrel.
A: About 5 minutes.
A: NO…but it will get warm.
A: NO. In fact, since the mount is installed only on the barrel, you can change the barrel to a different gun and still be zeroed.
A: Scout or pistol scope styles will work best. We recommend a pistol scope. They are more compact and have longer eye relief, which allows better peripheral vision.
A: No. The Remington 870 scope mount will fit 870 barrels.
A: No.
A: The 870 mount weighs 7.5 ounces, and 11.095 inches long.
A: It is my understanding that all of the rifled slug barrels sold by Remington are made by Hastings. By necessity, all rifled slug barrels are much thicker, including the tube hanger lug. Unfortunately, our mounts will not fit anyone's rifled 870 barrel.
A: NOT without some modification. The Magpul forearm is made of plastic and the top edge of it can be easily reduced to provide enough clearance from the mount for the shotgun to function.
A: If you are installing the mount on a Tac-14, you will need to make a shim out of a piece of soda can about 5/8's wide and 3-inches long. Install it on TOP of the barrel, under the mount body, opposite of the barrel clamp.
A few drops of super glue between the mount body and the shim will make installation easier.
