Hey guys...after launching my spring retainer clip, and plastic mag capacity plug across the man cave about 4 times Friday night...I decided to see if there was a better way to reinstall the retainer clip. I found out that excessive cursing...while therapeutic...doesn't actually help.
Before I get told this is the B&G shotgun forum..relax~I was working on my 870P. I sometimes like to take the mag extension off to get a little weight off the whole deal. I keep a retainer clip, shorter spring, and mag nut in a zip lock bag, tacked to the wall.
Anyhow, my retainer clip is always up for a fight. Probably a little tight/out of spec, but an absolute BA***RD to get seated again. It was a miracle I found it 4 times. I decided to look on YouTube, and saw a video of someone using the factory follower for this roll, suggesting that it needn't be anything permanent/fixed. Put the S&J follower in place, the spring, then CAP the spring with the factory follower...then the mag cap. Done!
I'll likely order one directlly from S&J, but it looks like the shipping (even in Ontario) costs more than the follower itself. Wondering if any dealers in the GTA carry them.
Thanks!
