Give me the classic wood look any day, although on my other wingmaster with the synthetic stock set I went hogue.

Yep, big fan of wood look and feel. I have split/cracked and otherwise broken a lot of wood stocks over the yrs though. They just won't tolerate abuse and weather like plastic does.
Function over form.....synthetic.
Form over function.....wood.
Beauty/feel/smell/class.....well there's really no contest! lol

I like the look of the MCS forend.
You'd need these parts to make it work on standard models though.

#301113 FOREND TUBE ASSY – MCS 12 ga $33.60

(this info is from another forum, in US dollars, and prices are four years old, the picture is not my shotgun)

I looked at the surefire but the light itself seems like crap. 1 hour battery life? With such a big piece of kit why leave so little room for power? My TLR1 puts out more lumens and lasts more than twice as long. I like the design and the location of the switch but the light itself ruins it for me.
Completely agree

Great idea! Only way I made my railed 870 forend work was by putting a forend grip on the bottom rail otherwise it was not fun to pump it.....
That is nearly exact to what my mental image of my build is going to be! COOL!

the classic short 870 Police forend.
runner-up would have to be the Speedfeed LE forend - which is very close to the same ergonomics, but in plastic.

Nothing cheaper than what I did. I called up S&J Hardware and talked to Simon and told him what NEA sugested I do.
Baught a piece of rail and PL'd it with riviets threw the screw wholes in the pump plastic piece. Been rocking it for over 2 trap creates and it's still rock soild!

The latest 2-cell LED model can do 2 hours "tactical runtime". Surefires are legos anyway you can put your own module in there to suit your needs.
I have the 318LM on my 14" and 618LF on my 18".

Ram-Line makes a forend similar to the MCS. No idea if it's any good or not.
