Gents:
When I recently purchased a M870 "home defense" 8-shot shotgun, I was disappointed it did not come with a front sling swivel stud. On posting on CSPicon forum, another poster (thanks Griffith) recommended a TacStar barrel-magazine tube clamp (part #634887) from MidwayUSA, which I did place on order.
However, the shotgun came with an attachment location on the installed clamp. After emailing and calling Remington, I lerned the facotry studs weren't installed on all "home defense" models and that I'd have to order another clamp, as the stud had to be pressed-fit with professional equipment.
But that perked my inbterest; surely there must be a stud somewhere which would screw into the existing location. Nothing at Midway (that I found), but did find studs at Brownells.
Brownells has Uncle Mikes parts: 10-32x1/4 Dome Stud (pack of 12 only), plus 10-32 Hex Nuts (pack of 12 only), both blued, which fit the installation clamp (when used with a small brass washer as filler). Seems to work fine.
Hope this will help someone else, just looking to have a utilitary carry sling and not require the tactical type. Semper Fi.
