pistol grips on the fore end

[djmay71]

how do these pistol grips go on the fore end? do they replace the original fore end, or something else.
total noobish question, but thinking of slapping on a pistol grip on the Norc

generally you will need to replace the foreend, either with a dedicated pistol grip, or a railed forend to which you can attach a vertical grip

This is a good one, and they ship to Canada.

ok- another dumb question- anyone know how the fore end comes off the Norc 780?
and even though i'm pretty sure the answer is no- can it be swapped out with a Remington 870 fore end?

It can take an 870 forend. I put a beat up wood one on my Book of Eli 780. The gun's a piece though and it is only good for looking cool.

You can unscrew the nut with a pair of needlenose pliers, at least it comes off like that on the Grizzly, the 780 should be the same, but I don't know for sure.

this is the nut that lock the forend on the the action rails tube.

they show you to use your bolt carrier, but you can instead use
a pair of needle nose pliers to grab the grooves.

I was able to use the bottle opener/flat head screwdriver from my swiss army knife to get the nut off as well.

thanks a billion for the info!
the people who did the tutorial must have tiny fingers because i couldn't get my huge fingers in there to push in those retainer arms- although i managed by employing the help of my tiny fingered neighbour.
then i was happy with myself that i managed to tear it down, only to realize that I then had to put it back together, because i didn't have another fore end with me to put on
