'97 question


Recommended Posts

Wolff most likely has to be snipped too to make 6 rounds fit.   There are kits available with a replacement follower which is shorter than the Winchester (or Chinese) original.  Those help, but they also replace the spring with a shorter length, IIRC.

I've got 3 of the IAC 97 clones which will take 6 rounds in mag AND feed perfectly well with only a spring cut back to be 5" longer than the total magazine tube (that is, with all the guts out of the magazine, action closed, the forward end of the uncompressed spring is 5" longer than the mag tube body itself).  That includes the factory follower being used.

Snipping a spring is free - the 6 shot conversion last time I looked is about $40.  If you make a mistake, order a new 12 gauge spring for a Rem 870.   Same diameter and strength, and easily available.  $7 last time I bought one.

good luck, GJ
