Uncle Mike’s Mag Cap Swivel Set Remington 870 Express 12 Gauge 1″

Description

Getting a sling onto a classic wood-stock Remington 870 Express usually means either living without one or paying a gunsmith to drill and tap the barrel. Uncle Mike's solved that with a smarter approach. This kit replaces your factory magazine cap with a new one that already has the swivel base built right in, so the front sling point installs in seconds with nothing more than your hands.

How the 870 Mag Cap Swivel Set Goes On

The front end is about as easy as it gets. Unscrew your factory magazine cap, thread on the replacement cap that comes in this set, and you've got a solid swivel base up front. No permanent changes to the shotgun, and if you ever want to go back to stock, you just swap the cap again. The rear swivel base is a 3/4-inch wood screw that threads into the buttstock, which is exactly what you want on the traditional wood-stocked 870 Express.

What Comes in the Uncle Mike's Swivel Set

Everything needed to run a sling ships in the box. You get the replacement magazine cap with the integrated swivel base, the 3/4-inch wood screw buttstock base, and two Super Swivels with a 1-inch loop to hold your sling. The Super Swivels are the quick-detach type, so you can pop your sling on and off without messing with the bases once they're mounted.

Build and Fit Notes

The hardware is steel with a blued finish, which pairs nicely with the bluing and wood on a standard 870 Express. Feedback from folks running this set is consistent that it drops right onto the 870 Express with a proper fit and holds up to real carry. One thing worth flagging before you order: this version is built for the standard 3-inch gun and is not made for 870 tubes chambered for 3.5-inch magnum shells. If you've got a regular 12-gauge 870 Express, you're in the right place.
