Tri railed fore end on my 8.5 grizz

[mp5k]

Got more rails to hang more stuff now! The Tapco stubby works very well, It keeps my thumb away from the muzzle now.

Cool, Did you buy that or make it? Kinda looks like the rail has been machined into the plastic..

 

[mp5k]

Made it, took a tri rail fore end & cut it down to fit.

Looks good. Which forend did you start with?

 

[mp5k]

Promag tri rail fore end. PM me if you need one.

I ordered one from mp5k a few days ago. It got here this morning and I spent the afternoon modifying the forend to fit. I think it looks great (works great too)!

Here is a pic!

and the other side:

Is the foreend plastic or aluminum?

 

[Graeco]

With a folding fore grip, you'd still be able to put it into a pack. Can you recommend a lightest stock available?

Polymer, the lightest stock would be a folder permanently locked open to keep your 26". I like the knoxx folders.FAB makes a great front folder foregrip, like this pic.

I made by shotty look more bad ass:

Looks great! Thats one badass 8.5. I don,t think that red dot will stand many slugs though...

Thanks Mp5k, I was looking at a Butler Creek folder for this purpose and they do have an 870 model. Might be an ok option unless someone can suggest a better alternative. I have the knox folder stock already and I find it heavier than it needs to be so I am unsure what to do with it. It is easy to disable the folding mechanism though.

The B/C folder is prob about the lightest, I agree. The only other i know is the ATI top folder made of plastic, but i havent used one yet.

Thanks!

The red dot sight is pretty cheap (less than $20) and it fell off once while shooting already. I'm going to get an EOtech clone off of the EE ASAP.

Here is how they look with a bushnell holosight.

Just got mine on today.

Hey Sush, tell me about your iron sights. Which ones? Who put them on? And how?

Looks great. A lot better having the foregrip now, isnt it? Sites look good too.

They are the trijicon ones from Dave Surplus Tactical. $120 for the set. Got Reliable Gun and Tackle in Vancouver to install them. Drill and Tap rear and Epoxy Front.
