Just posting because I didn’t really find an answer on Google when I searched, so maybe this post will help someone out. But can confirm some 870 forends will definitely fit a 1200, and likely a 1300 Winchester.
Buddy of mine gave me a treeline 870 900lm flashlight forend, these were made for and sold by tractor supply in the USA , apparently streamlight sued them over it and they got pulled from shelves, but you still see them listed on auctions like eBay.
So not having an 870, but having a 1200 Winchester 2-3/4” with a cracked forend , I got to wondering if it could fit, sure enough the tube was the correct diameter for a snug fit and just long enough. The forend nut was slightly too fat to clear the new forend, so I was gonna open it up, but my friend offered to reduce the forend nut diameter slightly with his lathe instead, I think he said he took 75 thousandths off the outer diameter and it cleared the new forend and tightened down just fine. If you don’t have access to a lathe you’ll can remove material from the forend to clear the nut. Very solid fit, got to use the new part and replace the broken one on my old Winchester.
