deputy tom said:Yes, back in the day it was supposed to keep the follower from binding. I've had them in all of my 12 ga 500's and 870's and would like to maintain that tradition. tom.

old mossy said:hello Pete. welcome from NY.
you say "whenever" you try to take off the mag tube. have you ever had it off?
if not,,,,,it's held in by loctite. you need to apply heat to the receiver to break up the loctite. once you have it heated put some mussel on it and twist it out. works good if you have a padded vise.
"righty tighty,,,,lefty loosy"....forgot to mention,,,,,use a heat gun.

yes. when i try to unscrew it, it goes about 1/4th of the way and starts making this click sound every 360 degrees i turn it. i have the bolt half way out, i've read the instruction manual about it. it wont budge.

sounds like the threaded piece on the end of the mag tub is cross threaded.
if you can get a small flat screw driver in between the end of the mag tube and the barrel lug and pry them apart while you turn the screw out. i hope this makes sense to you.
