Scattergun Technology Rem. 870 Mount
The Scattergun Technology Rem. 870 Mount is a purpose-built sling attachment point for Remington 870 shotguns, particularly those running short barrels and extended magazine tubes. If you shoot a tactical or home-defense 870, hand positioning matters—this mount helps anchor your support hand behind the muzzle where it belongs, improving control and keeping the gun stable during shooting. It's a no-frills solution to a real problem on modern shotgun setups.
Installation is straightforward: the mount lives under your magazine cap, so no permanent modifications or gunsmithing required. It comes with a detent locking ball to keep everything secure and rattle-free. The design is heavy-duty and ridged, built to handle the recoil and abuse a working shotgun sees at the range or in the field. It accepts standard slings up to 1¼ inches wide, so your existing gear will likely work fine.
Whether you're running a short-barreled home-defense gun, a tactical 870, or a modern patrol shotgun, consistent hand placement behind the muzzle improves your control and follow-up shots. This mount makes that happen without breaking the bank or requiring permanent modification to your receiver.
