I switched the pump for a Remington one and installed an Ergo tri-rail forend - mounted an M3 light to the rails (any picatinny light would work).

If you have the cash get a Surefire light forend.

I attached a small rail to the front of the syn police 870 forend I have on my 12.5" grizzly, used a set of cheap 1" weaver rings and a 1" led flashlight from crappy tire. Works great.

Just bought my first one, can't wait for it to arrive. Hope if it's worth the price of admission? I am a big fan of integrated systems.

This. Magpul seems to always come with extra bits of rail. Easy to bodge up and not look goofy.

Did you use the provided T nuts to secure it to the forend on the other side? Looks great by the way. How secure is it?

The Canadian Tire Magna Lites are the perfect size to fit snugly in the 12ga barrel. They're made in China though, and QC can be a little sketchy, so sometimes you get one that's a little oversized, but a few good raps with a rubber mallet will pound that sucker in there good and tight.

Also, the sound and flash it makes when you pull the trigger is enough to send the most battle hardened criminal running out the door.

OP what is your price range?

I don't really have a hard price range. I'd like to keep my stock and forend the same though. I'm well aware that I could get a different forend to accomdate a light.

At first I thought you were talking about a barrel clamp haha. It would work really good until I used it!!

I cut down the T-nuts till they were square shaped and recessed it inside the forend..... It's not going anywhere...
