VermontHunter Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well my lack of making the right inquries has bit me in the butt once again ... Just got the Saddle mount from Al, and she don't fit ... The trigger pin holes line up perfectly, but the 887 is wider than the 870 and the trigger pins on the 887 are the same size (smaller), where on the 870 they are 2 differnt sizes .. Live and learn .. lol So Al, since you didn't charge me for the mount, what would you like me to do with it ?? Send it back to you or sell it ?? I will abide by your wishes my friend .. and I appreciate your attempt to help me out ... THANKS Buddy .. I have inquirys in to B-Square and Midwayusa .. at this time in hopes of some info ...

LETMGROW Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Here we go again. I dug out my 870 and checked the side mount I have for the scope. This mounts on the left side of the receiver with two bolts and nuts which also replace the original pins. The mount does not go over the receiver but rises about 1/2" above it. The scope mounts are integral with the mount. This mount came with an 1100 I bought from a friend about 10 or more years ago. I have had it on my 870 for nearly that long. I have shot this gun alot and never have had a problem with it. There is no brand name on the mount. Just: 885SGM U.S. Patent 3835052 Canada Patent 996341 Japan I have seen these before but never paid that much attention to ask about one. It was off this 870 I got the original dimensions for the pins etc. Maybe someone with a little more computer savvay than I can decipher the pat. # and come up with manufacturer.

LETMGROW Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Smarter than I thought Found it under Canada patent. This mount was made by Weaver. I believe it is discontinued now. Guess we can check gun shows etc. or put the word out. Sorry, Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I still haven't heard a peep from Remington on a saddle mount that will work with this 887 .. Now I'm thinking I should have went with the 870 ... but man I love the way this shotgun shoots ... OH well just my luck .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Getting the receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounts might be an option if the metal will hold threads. Some shotguns nowadays have alloy receivers that don't have much thread strength. Go see a good gunsmith and he can probably do it for less than a saddle mount.

I was hoping to avoid this option Leo, as I also wanted to use this shotgun for goose and duck as well ... but it's looking to be my only viable option if I want to use my Red Dot for Turkeys ..

VermontHunter Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 VH did you check my PM? Lynn I did Lynn .. Hey, are you interested in this mount for your 870 ??If you are you are more than welcome to it .. FREE of course .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'll do you one better. I have the mount that was referred to in the PM. Do you think it might work? Measure the length of the trigger assembly pins and let me know. I have the pins out of my 870 and I will measure them. Perhaps we can make a trade if it will help you out. Lynn Sorry, no pictures!

LOL I don't think it will work Lynn, both of the trigger pins in my 887 are the same diameter, and in the 870 there are 2 different diameter pins .. The larger pin is the problem pin .. Like I said tho ,, you are more than welcome to this mount if it's something you are interest in ,, if not I'll just keep it advertised for sale ..

VermontHunter Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Just heard from Remington concerning a Saddle Mount for my 887 .. Here's what I got " Remington Arms Company Luke - no mfg's have any available at the moment, but several are working on them. Will try to circle back with you once the first one's hit. " Now I'm second guessing my choice in not getting a 870 ... :hammer2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just got this email from B-Square on the Saddle Mount Issue .. From: Paul, Chris (US NON-SSA) Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 5:42 PM To: Arias, Yolanda (US NON-SSA) Subject: RE: saddlemount We are aware of this newer Remington 887 over molded pump shotgun Sir. It is a very nice design but this will require that we build a new extrusion for it. We have discussed this weapon in our R&D meets so hopefully we will make it soon Sir.

LETMGROW Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have a feeling you will have a mount in hand soon. With Remington being so popular and all the attributes of the 887 the mounts are sure to be produced soon. I like that gun and wouldn't hesitate to buy one myself if I needed another shotgun. Ummm.. maybe I do! Even if you had to hunt a season with open sights, it will be worth the wait. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Is there any way to drill and tap the receiver to get your scope mounts? EDIT: Scratch that, I just saw your post about this early on in your thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Well after all of the email and phone call inquires it looks like my M887 is going to be drilled and tapped for a V-Rail from Remington to mount my Red Dot on. Obviously, this wasn't my first choice but due to the lack of accessories and inquiries as to maybe when accessories may be available this is my only option at this time if I want to use my Bushnell Trophy Red Dot this may for Turkey season. I just want to say THANK-YOU to those of you that tried to help me out with my questions and inquries ... Maybe I'll have some pics to show of a nice Tom Turkey that was tagged by this New M887 ... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hope you make out well with the rail mount. BTW, my mount on the 1100 works OK. LOL Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
