Description
If your Remington shotgun's magazine is giving you trouble, the problem usually isn't the gun itself. Factory followers crack and break easily, and the spring can lose tension over time. This performance package from Scattergun Technologies addresses both issues with components that've been battle-tested by professionals for years.
The kit includes a heavy-duty Wolff spring that eliminates the spring bind issue many owners experience. Unlike the factory spring, this one maintains consistent tension through extended use and won't set permanently. Paired with that is a high-visibility fluorescent green ABS nylon follower that's designed to last. The bright color makes it easy to see at a glance when your magazine is empty, and the material is tougher than the brittle plastic Remington uses from the factory.
Works with Standard and Extended Tubes
This kit is built to work with standard Remington magazine tubes as well as one- or two-round extension tubes, which means you can use it whether you're running factory configuration or a 6 or 7-shot extended setup. Compatibility covers the 870, 1100, 11-87, and even the SPT-12 if you've got one.
Quick Installation
The install is straightforward enough that you don't need a gunsmith. You'll remove the magazine cap, extract the old spring and follower, and swap in the new components. Newer 870s have dimples inside the magazine tube that may need light modification depending on your specific model, but most shooters report the job takes less than an hour with basic tools.
Scattergun Technologies components have a reputation in tactical and professional circles that speaks for itself. This spring and follower combo is made in the USA and backed by the brand's reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this spring and follower work with my factory standard magazine tube?
Yes. This kit is compatible with standard Remington 870/1100/11-87 magazine tubes as well as those equipped with one- or two-round extension tubes. It's designed to support 6 or 7-shot configurations.
What's the difference between this and the factory spring and follower?
The factory follower is brittle plastic that cracks easily and causes feeding issues. This kit's ABS nylon follower is more durable, and the Wolff spring doesn't lose tension or bind like the factory spring does. Both are thicker, higher-quality components designed for hard use.
Do I need to modify my magazine tube to install this?
Newer Remington shotguns have dimples inside the magazine tube that may need to be removed. On older guns, the follower usually slides in without modification. A small amount of filing may be necessary on some models, but the work is minimal and doesn't require a gunsmith.
Can I use this kit with other shotgun brands?
This kit is specifically designed for Remington 870/1100/11-87 and SPT-12 models. While some users report fitting it to compatible clones, it's engineered around Remington specs. Always verify your shotgun's magazine tube matches before ordering.
