I’m looking for slings for my Remington 870s. As they sit now, there are no sling attachments on them. I run traditional stocks (see pic below) and I’m not particularly interested in single points. I will be adding a Scattergun Tech +1 to my rifle sighted gun and replacing the factory +2 with a Scattergun Tech +2. My intention was to purchase the models with left side sling loops and use a rear sling attachment point located on my stock (swivel or a Blue Force Gear buttstock adapter). I’m leaning towards a VCAS. Any suggestions of other slings I should consider or a different mounting arrangements?
My 870 setups:
Why switch out original Remington 2 shot extension to Wilson ? You could use the sling stud on the extension or just buy a different sling attachment for the front.
Sorry for the high jacked thread.
For the sling attachment you could try a sling thing from GG&G. That mounts between the receiver and stock with the VCAS.
I understand people have trouble with this set up due to some interference getting to the safety, but you could switch that for a Vang or Wilson oversize safety.
I would recommend looking no further than the VCAS sling. I have VCAS Cobra on my 870P and have run it through a course and other training with no issues. Mine is attached via a front sling mount and the BFG buttstock adapter, as seen below:
No problem. The reason I mainly wanted to switch was to get the integrated sling loop and get rid of the “band” that wraps the tube and barrel. Really not a necessity I know but just on my wish list. I previously tried a Daniel Defense sling loop similar to the GG&G with a single point sling. I hated the sinlge point but I may try the loop with the VCAS.
That’s practically the exact same setup I had in mind. Nice looking scattergun.
I’m a fan of Gear Sector slings. I have one on my AR and my 870. For the 870 I have the two point with a fixed stock adapter.
I would roll with eagle5’s suggestion. It is exactly how I have mine setup and I had numerous guys during class check mine out because their sling arrangement was giving them issues.
This is how I’ve been running my 870s for years
