Surefire Fore-end on a 12.5"

Anyone try it? If so, have you had any issues with having the light extend beyond the muzzle?

Thx

you will get powder residue on the flashlight, a penceil eraser works well when cleaning it off

Ya the carbon build up on the light really gives it some battle hardened like character......who wants there gun looking brand new anyways hehe.

This is what it looks like. It does get dirty, including the front lens of the light. For optimal flashlight performance I'd clean the front lens every 200 rounds or so.

No other issues. It's actually beneficial since there's no part of the gun obscuring the flashlight's beam.

One aside is that it's quite a heavy fore end being bulky and solid plastic, especially since the weight is out front. I'm thinking of switching to a Magpul fore end, and adding a rail for a Surefire x300 pistol light. The shotgun specific fore end light has better implementation though.

If you go that route...measure the OD of the light, and get a butlercreek pop top scope cover. I used one for years on my 14" norc with a surefire light and it was perfect.

Very nice, thx for posting that pic.
