8.5" Grizzly Mounted Flashlight?

[Potshot21]

Howdy folks!

Curious if anybody out there has found a way to mount a flashlight or light/laser combo onto one of these shotguns? Hopefully more on the cheap side, don't want to put a $300 accessory on a $350 gun!

Thanks!

Streamlight Remington 870 Rail might fit?
Thinking some more I doubt it will clear the foreend, next option would be to mount a small section of rail to your foreend or buy the Dlask railed foreend.
If you have the rail on top you could also find some offset rings that would work with a flashlight.

The dlask rail foreend is well made and also allows you to mount a vertical grip.

I drilled a couple small holes for the location pins (not all the way through). Then one for the screw and backing plate for a Magpul MOE rail I had laying around. I used a dremel to set in the backing plate then assembled with some JB weld. Worked perfect with a Inforce WML. I've since sold it after I bought a Cadex MCS handstop forend and 3" rail/WML. The cost is high For it though.

Mine has 2 holes on the back sight protector, suitable for a rail.

That is pretty cool. Can you reach it with your thumb?

Install a Dlask railed forend for the 8.5" and mount what you want.

It is in exactly the right place for my thumb. Currently it is a short picatinny rail secured by 2 bolts, and doesn't stick out so much. It does block some field of view.
