Title: 20 gauge 870 Express Magazine Cap with internal ratchet and factory sling swivel
Post by: Gmed on May 24, 2020, 07:47:49 PM
Looks like this one....Any one have an extra or know where I can get one other than Remingtons ridiculous asking price of $60.00?
The back of it should have the internal ratchet as pictured...

I ordered one last year. I don't remember from where but I know I didn't pay $60. Most of major online firearm retailer should carry it.

Curtdawg88, the one from Midway has external ball and detent and won't work on the Express....

That's what my express uses. Well it's an express magnum, not sure if that makes a difference. And it's 20 years old.

I think my 12ga 870 has the type you are talking about. Sorry I wasn't more help.

Heck, I appreciate any help. I have looked at so many I can almost tell you Remington part numbers. The one I am looking for is F401448. On the old 870s before they went to a light weight, the twelves and 20s were on the same frame and many parts interchanged....I hate to buy "made in China" stuff off Amazon...

I don't see any of their magazine caps that cost $60 on Remington's website.  Yours is about $33, but it's out of stock right now.
