Done to death subject: Lights for 870

[Ardent]

I've done the Surefire fore end integral light bit on my Scattergun tech, but what I'm looking for is something detachable with an LED Surefire unit. I'm switching the 870 this light will go on between short configuration with the light at home and duck/geese hunting with a 26" vent rib barrel, so I'm looking for a fore end that will be unobtrusive when hunting. Maybe a rail system... with a Surefire LED that allows momentary and continuous operation. The short barrel's a 12.5 as well so a light that doesn't extend beyond the muzzle would be nice as well. Ideas?

I've been looking for the Surefire M69 picatinny railed forend for quite a while (but without success).

TSE can sell you a Falcon Industries' Ergo 3-rail forend.

Fenix TK10 and TK11 lights are good. ive got one ( and not because of my name )

I use this mount combined with the light in the second link. Gets the job done and is easy to remove should I not want or need a light.

Going to use that setup, slick, thanks Claybuster. Think that mount could be reversed and inletted into the fore end to keep the light further back. Going to be using one of the Streamlight TLR-1 C4's.

Here's another option Ardent....it's a modified Hogue foreend...more pictures in the thread above.

Here's a couple mount options if you did decide to go to a Fenix TK10 or something similar...

I suppose it could be but I've never tried it. On my gun I have the light mounted to the left and it's easy to turn the light on and off with the thumb of my forward hand. Here's what it looks like.

I have one of the Mesa Tactical mag extension clamp rails

Got it from Daves. Its a very solid piece of kit.

I went with a FAB rail forend, but had already ordered the Streamlight mount recommended. The Streamlight mount is simple, strong, and swaps on/off in 5 secs, if anybody wants it I've got it listed in the EE cheap as it's surplus to my needs now.
