Hello all here is my 870

[Banshee]

I would be careful with the vertical fore-grip on a pump gun. I have seen them twist the actuating arms to the point they jammed up.

Really, I thought about that. Since I was a kid and shot shotguns I always had my hand on the forend to load it. That CAA grip is kinda long for it. I want to get a rail cover for the bottom rail but not sure which ones will fit and hold up to loading the shotgun. I was also thinking about a short grip like a Magpul AFG angled forend grip. Also not sure it will fit my rail. What other forend grip would you recommend.

Ya, you can put a lot of torque on the for end with a long vertical grip when the fore end is slammed to the rear and slammed to the front.

I had that one Talon 5 side forend and if you had to shoot it bare handed and it was cold out your hand was hurting. That aluminum would tear up your hands with every shot did not like it at all, did think about checking out that other one, but really like the Magpul forend for the 870
Thanks for the advice any way

I kinda have the thoughts on the Talon. It looks cool and with five different spots to hang stuff it could be very useful in certain situations. None of those situations come to mind at the moment, but it still looks cool.

I took off that Mako group forend and decided to order me a magpul MOE 870 forend

Good choice on the Magpul. Can't go wrong with any of thier products.

I think for what other purpose I want to try to use this shotgun for (hunting) that magpul forend will work so much better

You have the benefit with your rig to be able to swap out barrels and actually do some hunting. Mine has the long tube magazine and at last count only four barrels will fit - all of them 18.5 long. I will just have to do my hunting indoors.
