[QUOTE="Slack One, post: 723183, member: 2270"] The plain-jane 870 Express won't take magazine extensions because of a detent built into the mag tube. You can drill or press it out, but I've always been to chicken to try it with mine. 870 Wingmasters and Express Home Defense (HD) don't have this issue. I'd probably just get a used Wingmaster and find an 18" barrel and extension (though with 18" I think you only get one extra round). You get a slicker gun than the Express by a longshot, with the only limitation that most used Wingmasters are in 2 3/4" only. I don't find that much of a limitation, however. EDIT: Forgot to mention that Academy often has 18" barrels for Remington 870s made by Mossberg. Sounds a little off, but they're usually in the $100 range. [/QUOTE]
