I have the Choate +3 extension now and it's not flush, the aesthetics bug me

A Remington 3 shot extension will be flush because it has the bayonet mount that extends to make it flush.

Doesn't the fact that it's a rifle sight barrel (fixed IC choke) mean it'll be shorter?

Doing some googling I found this pic from @ServiceGun



I want to end up flush, not the mag tube protruding like that, if possible.

No, wrong.
That's a pic of my 870 with a 20" barrel and factory Remington +3 extension.
The reduced diameter end does stick out, originally intended to be a bayonet mount.

Thanks for chiming in, that's what I thought. Guess I need to decide whether I want too short or too long

I'd like to see what a Nordic +3 looks like on a 20" barrel. If it's flush I'll probably pick one up to replace my Choate

Remington M870 Mk1 had a 21" barrel so the end was just under flush with the +3 tube as designed. They never redesigned the extension after the M870 Mk1 and the M7188 were discontinued. The original Wingmaster Police guns were a true 18" barrel not the 18.5" of today so the factory +2 extensions weren't flush to those barrels either.
