Remington 870 Tips & Tricks #4: Trigger Pin Detent Springs:
The Remington 870′s trigger plate assembly is attached to the receiver by means of two trigger plate pins. Holding these pins in place are two clips called trigger plate pin detent springs.
In this video, I’ll go over three easy things you can do with these detent springs: moving the front spring over to the same side as the rear spring for simplified takedown & assembly, adding a second front detent spring for more secure retention, and removing all detent springs to simplify installation of receiver-mount accessories.
It’s a brief video, but the subject isn’t all that involved. This length also helps me avoid some of the software issues I’ve been dealing with, and as I’m still struggling with retrieving video #3 from the POS flash drive that swallowed it, I wanted to cover a subject I could knock out in a weekend.
I recommend watching this video with the annotations turned on. I’ll be adding various notes to provide further details or to answer questions you might have. I’ve tried to keep them unobtrusive; no giant flags blocking the video, no begging for subscriptions or likes.
If you have any questions about this video, please ask in the comments below. Like many things in life, guns can be dangerous if used improperly, so make sure you understand what you’re doing before you work on yours. If you’re uncomfortable trying anything you see here yourself; please get assistance.
This continues my series of how-to videos with the Remington 870 shotgun. There are several other topics I have planned for future videos, but it’s a fluid list. I’d love to hear any suggestions you might have for video topics. If it’s something that has already been covered, I may point you elsewhere, but if it’s an interesting and feasible idea, I’ll add it to the list.
I’d also appreciate any comments on the format of this series; things you liked, things you didn’t like, things you’d like to see done differently, etc. I’m still playing around with styles, formats, and programs; figuring out what works, what works well, and what doesn’t work at all, so any input would help me out.
