Wharf Rat Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 The top swivel on my 870 keeps loosening itsself. I am pretty sure it isn't designed to do that... Each movement seems to make the nut on the back of the thread that passes through the end cap come undone. Anyone else had the same problem and managed a fix? Failing that, does the 12g magazine tube cap/swivel interchange with the 20g? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I don't think the two caps are interchangable, could be wrong I made my own stud and tightened the nut with some thread lock. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyotemaster Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I think Remington had a problem with the swivels, at least on some guns. My SP 10 has had 2 replacement caps as the stud came out of the cap. Both times Remington sent me new parts, I am thinking that they are thinking about liability if the swivel comes out and gun falls from shoulder while loaded. If you did as UD did and make one with a threaded nut as I have for an older 1100 it will cure any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharf Rat Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Cheers fellas. Seems a bit of poor design to me on an otherwise tank like piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
