Best Answer

You'll start by unscrewing the magazine cap fron the end of the magazine. It's the knurled knob that also holds the barrel in the receiver. The forearm slides back and forth on the magazine. Gently pry out the spring stop once the cap is off. The spring and plug/follower should just fall out when the weapon is held down, but if you're not holding the barrel, it'll fall out of the receiver also. Some magazine plugs have molded weak points that allow you to break them off to increase the amount of ammo in the magazine. A large pair of pliers with padded jaws may be needed to break the cap loose. Brownells carries weapon specific tools for gunsmiths and they sell to civilians.

How do you remove the plug from a Remington 870 express?

To remove the plug on a Remington 870 series all you need to do is unscrew the cap on the end of the magazine tube. Carefully because it holds in the magazine spring. the plug is the rod that is inserted in the spring so it cannot compress fully to limit capacity so just take it out and screw the cap back on (the cap compresses the spring) and voila. takes about twenty seconds.

If it has a round hole, take a screwdriver and evenly pry it out. If it is a slot hole, insert a flat head screwdriver, press about an inch in, turn the plug 90 degrees (don't know direction) and slowly release the tension from the spring.
