Remington 11-87 magazine tube

MJM49

I have an 11-87 that needs a new magazine tube. Hopefully you can see the photos, the magazine tube has two sections cut out and I think t needs replaced. The seller advised me it should work like it is, but after seeing it I have my doubts.

Can anyone tell me how the magazine tube is attached to the receiver?
I can not see a weld or soder, it may be pressed or threaded but I can't tell for sure.

I have found schematics for the 11-87 parts but none list the magazine tube part number. I would like to buy the part and carry both the tube and reciever to a gunsmith if need be.

Thanks for your help
I appreciate it,

remington does not sell the magazine tubes. you will have to send the shotgun to them if you have to replace the tube. the tubes are attached with the highest temperature solder that i have ever heard of. it is in 1600 degree range. this temperature will require rebluing of the receiver. contact remington for current pricing on the repair. i could not see any pictures posted.

Thanks for the info, I just called a Remington repair center and a gunsmith said the same thing. FYI tube is $58 labor is 65. Just in case anyone else needs the info.
