Me and a bunch of buddies chipped in, purchased one. Tried to kill it... All different ammo, all different loads... beat TF outa it for an entire range day. It did great!

So, I got one... It also eats up ammo, never had any hiccups with it.... That being said, still a cheap fun shotgun. So I have painted and played with it.

I want to put a light on it though. Do I try and red green a rail into the hand guard or is there a better option? Any one know what fits this "Churchill" shot gun ?

A Streamlight rail that mounts under the barrel retention nut on the end of the magtube might fit.... they are designed for 870's but fit other guns.


Otherwise a small rail section on your foreend would not be too hard if your handy and have some basic tools... I've done it in the past with a short plastic rail that I cut to length and secured with ### bolts. I ground out a pocket on the inside of the foreend so the threaded insert was recessed into the foreend.

There are plenty of cheap m-lok rail sections on amazon but you'd need to source the appropriate size and length ### bolts separately



 
+2 on a Streamlight light mount for an 870 ...

Mine has been above expectations as well, have a couple hundred shells through it and only time I get jams is trying to use mini shells
I put the Canuck FAGPUL (Fake Magpul) furniture on mine.
They aren't true M-Lok slots but do work with a little fitting.
I do have a rail and Olight PL on the other side of the pump.

bullseye has them... They are really cheap! Lol Thanks! This is a bang on option
 
I like the pistol grip
Right on.
It will be nice to have both options, and if you don't see any use for the magpul knock off you can post it on the E.E.

It's hard to tell in your picture what the shape of the current foreend is, but if there are "flats" in the appropriate area you could either ### bolt on the rail as previously suggested, or cut your own M-lok slots..... personally if the price if right for the stock set Gimpy posted, I'd probably just go that route.
 
Can you just order the new forend that has m-lok slots on the newer version?

Can’t remember who importer is, but you can Lougle it and find them. It should fit.
