I've got a Scattergun mag extension with the squarish side sling adapter. The Scattergun tac sling clips into it with a spring-steel clip.
The problem is that when the shotgun is carried "American Style" the clip is pointing up because the sling is going over your shoulder. If you push the sling out with your dominant hand, the butt comes up and the gun goes horizontal. (I know this isn't exactly the proper technique but bear with me.) At this point the sling clip moves 180 degrees as the sling changes position.
During the clip's movement, the spring steel on the sling clip catch on the square edges of the side sling adapter, forcing the spring steel open. Every time, the sling RELEASES FROM THE MOUNT and I'm left holding a shotgun dangling from only the rear sling swivel.
Any comments on this (other than "So don't do that.")
Also on the subject, I've got a speedfeed stock on this 870 which has the sling swivel at the bottom. Does anybody make stocks for the 870 that have side cutouts in the stock for a side sling ala the Benelli?
