We all have been waiting for this for a long time, and that day has finally arrived.
The release of the Remington 870 DM (Detachable Magazine)
Some points:
- 2 yrs of testing - extremely reliable
- Mag well can be removed for cleaning
- Mags are steel with poly overmolding
- All 870 stocks are compatible
- Any 870 forends that don't overlap the receiver (magazine) are compatible
- 870 barrels are compatible
- New oversized action bar lock
- Mag is straight in and out but is friction fit and not designed as drop free
- Will not work as a conversion kit as it's a dedicated receiver.
- 3" Chambers
- Hunting model comes with a 3rnd and 6rnd magazine *The 3rnd mag will only load on an open bolt so it will not work trying 3+1 This works for our 3 shot hunting restrictions for waterfowl.
