Lyman 1082232 Plus 3 Magazine Extension Fits Remington 870 Black Aluminum
The Lyman Plus 3 Magazine Extension is a straightforward capacity upgrade for your Remington 870 shotgun. Built from 6061 aluminum with a durable matte black anodized finish, this extension adds three rounds to your factory magazine tube—a practical gain for hunters, sport shooters, and home-defense users who want more shells on tap without swapping guns. The modular design and reversible tube give you flexibility in how you set it up, and the included high-visibility follower makes loading and chamber checks easier in the field.
What sets this extension apart is the attention to function. The supplied magazine spring can be trimmed to dial in the fit and feeding behavior to your specific shotgun and ammunition—a detail that matters when reliability counts. The recessed design accommodates a magazine/barrel clamp (sold separately), and at 7 3/4 inches added length, the extension strikes a balance between capacity and handling.
Whether you're running clay courses, hunting waterfowl, or simply prefer a deeper magazine for your 870, this is a no-frills, well-engineered way to get more rounds in the gun. Aluminum keeps it light, the black finish matches most setups, and the design respects the proven simplicity of the 870 platform.
