Shotgun Forend Mounted Flashlight

[joel1316]

I'm looking for a forend mounted flashlight. I prefer to avoid the barrel mounted because I'd like to avoid the coil type tape switch. I prefer the short wire type to avoid tangling with anything. I know about the Surefire forend, but would like to know about others. I'll even consider home made designs....

I just picked this one up off ebay for $60. I added the surefire G2 and picked up an aftermarket forearm that had a weaver mount built in. Im just waiting on the forearm to get here to install. Should be bad ***.

I wonder how this would work out.

There is a much better option out there IMO. Basically the rail (single) attaches to the mag tube and fits a streamlight perfectly.





The light ends up in a perfect position, at least for my hands. The install takes seconds, and is pretty cheap.

Just search UTG flashlight mount on ebay...

UTG makes cheapo-accessories.

I like it. What brand is it and where can one be had?

You might be able to find it somewhere else, that's the first thing that popped up for me.

Why do surefire forends cost $250? My shotgun was $280! I'd think they've made enough of them to reduce the cost, or at least stop manufacturing them out of solid gold...

I just broke down and bought a Surefire 918(?) 3 cell with anodized body and pyrex lens with High Output bulb.

I had a picattiny mount with the M3 mounted on the forend of my 590A1. It was a relatively inexpensive setup until I actually put through a training class. During the night shooting exercises when we had to illuminate the target and fire. When lighting up the target I would move the switch to the ON positon but evertime I shot the recoil would jar the switch hard enough to turn it off, then had to turn it back on again after every shot. So then I went to the Intermittent position but holding it down ended up digging into my finger until the ear on the switch broke off, now all I have is this small, sharp piece of metal to use ontop of a raw finger. I manage to get through the weekend. It was'nt long after that I placed an order for a Surefire forend and do not regret getting it despite the cost.
