Overview

This Brownells tool is designed for hunters and shotgun owners who need to restore dented 12 or 20 gauge magazine tubes without replacing the tube. It slides into the magazine tube to help remove dents, and its grooved design is made to clear the tabs found on 1100 Special Field and 11-87 models with the new-style magazine spring A retainer. At 8 3/4 inches long with an 11-inch handle, it provides a dedicated repair option for compatible tubes, but it is not intended for Mossberg magazine tubes.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for 12 or 20 gauge magazine tubes, so it is not a universal fix for every shotgun platform.
  • It will not work on Mossberg magazine tubes, which limits compatibility for some owners.
  • The grooved design is specifically intended to clear the tabs on 1100 Special Field and 11-87 models with the new-style magazine spring A retainer, so fit is more specialized than a general-purpose tool.
  • At 8 3/4 inches long with an 11-inch handle, it is a dedicated shop tool rather than a compact field accessory.
