Remington 870 and streamlight tlr-1

[huggybear]

I have an extra streamlight tlr-1 laying around and i want to mount it on my remington 870 express tactical. What do i need to get to make this possible? I am new to shotguns so your help will be greatly appreciated.

One of the clean solutions is to use a forend that has a rail built-in, like the GG&G forend. There are many other similar products in the market, some have rail at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock of the forend for more mounting options, some have full rails in the whole forend body, etc., etc. You can do a search on the web, and pick the one that you prefer.

One thing I like to use a rail forend (instead of a flashlight clamp) is that during a field takedown, it doesn't need to carry an extra tool (ususally a hex key) to remove the flashlight clamp in order to disassemble the shotgun.

In case you were wondering. There is also the new MT clamp coming out that allows the barrel to be removed while keeping your light in place. The good thing about a clamp set up over a forend mount is that it doesn't take any room away from your grip.

I have the GG&G forend on my 870 and have an TLR-1 attached to it.
