I haven't used a magpul forend, but it looks promising. I have never liked any of the surefire forends, though other guys love them.

Better balance/weight, and I've never had one come loose.ģ) light - is the Surefire integrated forend worth the money or could I slap a light onto a magpul forend? I'd replace that extension with a 1 shot extension from either Tac-star, Scattergun tech/Wilson, or Vangcomp. It is only retained by the barrel band.:confused: NOt sure what the issue is here? Very easy to use in several different ways.Ģ) extended mag tube always comes loose after shooting. What aftermarket safeties are recommended? You may like them after trying them, or you may not.ġ) stock safety is tiny and hard to flick off. However, if you don't want to drop the cash on a new tube, try a wrap of Teflon tape like you use on air or water pipes/tubes. Try something from Vang, or even Mesa if they are still selling them. I have found the factory mag tubes lacking a lot. I like Hans Vang's big button safety, and high visibility mag followers. The add on lights tend to be a little less robust, not as user friendly to operate, and can be difficult to keep on while firing.

SF are easy to operate, but may or may not fit your shooting method, or budget. There are lots and lots of options in the 870 world, and you kind of have to drive the bus, as it comes down to what works for you. Or you can try a Mesa side saddle with iron ghost ring sight, add a front sight over the bead, and try a Burris Speedbead for your RDS. Mesa tactical can take care of your side saddle/rail/Aimpoint issue all in one.
