Brownells Magazine Spring Retainer Tool for Remington 870/1100 Features The Brownells Magazine Spring Retainer Tool solves a common frustration when servicing a Remington 870 or pre-1987 Remington 1100 safely compressing and guiding the magazine spring into position without it slipping free and causing injury or damage. Its internal taper design controls the spring s compression smoothly which is especially valuable with newer stiffer production springs that resist hand installation. Measuring 7 inches overall with a 1.5 inch diameter handle and a 1.08 inch inside diameter retainer sleeve the tool is sized for a confident controlled grip during installation. Built from steel it is designed to withstand repeated use without deforming or wearing out. This tool fits both the Remington 870 and pre-1987 Remington 1100 platforms covering two of the most widely owned pump and semi auto shotguns on the market. Gunsmiths and DIY owners alike benefit from having a dedicated tool rather than attempting magazine spring installation freehand which risks scratched fingers or a spring that pops loose. Because it is purpose built for these specific magazine tube designs it removes the guesswork from a task that can otherwise be frustrating and risky. For anyone servicing a Remington 870 or 1100 magazine tube this retainer tool is a worthwhile addition to a gunsmithing kit.
