Having a late model Remington 870, I found myself in a position to install a magazine tube to hold an additional 2 rounds. Unfortunately, it's one of the 870's which has the dimples. I decided to try the swag to eliminate the dimples prior to installing the magazine tube. In short, it worked great. I've seen others drill out the dimples, but due to the thin gauge of the magazine wall, I didn't wish to further weaken it. Lots of oil on the swag, a couple of small punches, and a small ball peen hammer took care of the dimples in a couple of minutes. Yes, it's money spent on probably a one-time use...but, if it's ever needed again, it'll be on hand. Good product. Probably not for everyone, but it worked well for me.

This is so much better than drilling out the detents, leaving holes for dirt to get in and risk weakening the magazine tube. Just use a lubricant as suggested in the instructions, and a nylon face hammer to drive it in. Do NOT panic if it sticks, get a rag and a vise-grip and slowly twist it out. With it turned about 90 deg. to the original position (using a fresh swaging surface), lube it up again, and drive it in again. My finished product was so smooth I didn't need to do anything else, the shells and follower zipped right by the former detents.

This is a very good product. Works well, very easy to use. I’ve used it several times and will continue to use it.

Here is a little "how too": Grease it up, tap it home, take a small punch and peen the detents. Swage will come out easily after peening is complete.
