I have a Remington 870 police magnum that has the tube without the dimples in it and it has a standard tube spring retainer installed.  I installed a Wilson Combat +1 tube extension on it but it no longer has a tube spring retainer now.  Stupid question but are there any problems not using the spring retainer?  Is it ok just to have the spring up against the end of the WC +1 extension?

Used to retain your spring if you wanted to change barrels. I believe it also put an extra step for removing the plug on hunting shotguns. I had a game warden hassle me one time the plug was in but no retainer. I asked him to show the law. He couldnt
