Ray Ray 3,566 Posted January 30, 2012 Not a bad suggestion, but, I will eventually be getting a Surefire forend, or possibly the new Eotech/Insight integrated light forend. Also not a bad suggestion, but, it works for me the way it's set up. Having the rear two round reversed slows down my reloads. If only I hadn't given away the standard stock Wait, didn't you just put that forend on? Confusing sir. The last 2 rounds will get in the way of your finger, but that's on you sir. I'll give you the stock back, hell I'll drop it off. BUT, you gotta dump that little girl stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I did just put it on, but it will only be on there till I can swing the funds for a light integrated forend. I've learned to work around the last two rounds the way they are. Nah, you can keep it. I like my girl stock 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Ray approved that is a cool gun.. the only thing I dont get at all is where the light is.. it seems like in practical operation you could not put the light any further away from the support hand..I would mount a rail on the front of the hand guard to keep your support hand in a position to control the weapon and operate the light simultaneously..

I would mount a rail on the front of the hand guard to keep your support hand in a position to control the weapon and operate the light simultaneously.. It would cause a really bad shadow, and that shadow would cast right over the intended target. It's not a pump where my hand HAS to be on the handguard, the off-hand can manuever where-ever needed and it doesn't have to pull out the empties since they slide out just by tilting the barrel.

JWGlock23 3 Posted February 4, 2012 I have tried pumping it and it does not rack all the way so I will have to trim it. Like I said I'm going to cabelas in the morning so if I see some better choices I may pick them up. Including a smaller forend to possibly elleviate the slide problem. As for the side saddle, not sure who makes it. Got it from Old School. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said I'm going to cabelas in the morning so if I see some better choices I may pick them up. Including a smaller forend to possibly elleviate the slide problem. That's exactly why I was asking. I had the same clearance issues with my 870. Even though I had a slightly different side saddle, it was the same size and mounted in the same fashion. Trimming it isn't hard, if you don't mind how it looks then that's the way to go without spending anymore money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWGlock23 3 Posted February 4, 2012 I may just take a dremel and cut one of the shell holders off. That is dependent on if I find a tactical forend or pistol grip forend at Cabelas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 611 Posted February 4, 2012 Josh and I talked. I have a Hoague style mini forend to switch out. Won't hit the shell holder. I agree Ray it's harder to "butt stroke" your opponent with a pistol grip stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree Ray it's harder to "butt stroke" your opponent with a pistol grip stock. Its all about preference I suppose. Frank, I am going to get one of the foldable stocks that you told me about when you put an order together and then I can have the best of both worlds, but for now Ill try out the stand alone pistol grip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
