Hey y'all. I am looking to add a Nordic cap to my 870 14" 12ga and was wondering which parts would be required. I understand that I'll need the coupler and then will I just need a cap or a +1 and a cap or ?

I attempted to call Brownell's 5 times today and kept getting disconnected after waiting on hold for a few minutes and Nordic wasn't answering either. (As an older guy, I sure do miss the days of hearing a friendly voice when you called a business seeking help)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm no help with the Nordic parts but you could find a one piece +1 extention for a lot less. Wilson and Vang Comp both offer quality options.

Hey. Yea, I already have a Wilson and I do like it. However, I wanted to have a look at the Nordics due to their design, ergonomics, etc. They appear to be a really good brand and obtaining one at dealer price should make it a bit more tolerable. hahaa

Thanks a lot for the input.

All mine are Nordic. First you need the cap/nut (the part that holds the barrel on.

Then you need a tube + 2,3,4,5 or whatever.

The third is the end cap. This and the tube are universial. I like this you get rid of a shotgun or buy a new one,you just need the nut


+1 are generally one piece. I think there is a couple that are not

There are various lengths you can find it on their website.

Benneli has there own special lengths on some extensions with a B on the end for the tube. +3B for example to be a bit sohorter or longer to be even with the barrel. Still the same threads and it may work for you in certian cases.


I bought one for my 26 inch Stoeger 2000 so it would be even with my extended choke tube. I just had to but a shorter tube for the 18 1/2 inch barrel. Plus I can use the tube on my other shotguns.

I can ghost load my Stoeger 2000 and get 13 rounds and I think 8 or 9 on the 18 1/2 inch.

Dont forget the length inside the cap nut when fiquing OAL.

The have a clamp after +3 or 4 and the tubes have a groove to except it. There you can mount a light with the short rail or a QD sling. You can also use both one on each side

They also have a coupler the join 2 tubes if you need a custom length

Damn, this is a lot of excellent information, thank you. It definitely appears to be a very versatile system but the part which rubs me wrong is that a piece of metal for a +1 is the same price as one for a +6. The logic there seems a bit off to me, but I'm no expert in this subject matter. lol.

Thanks much for your input.
