Odd light fore-end question

459 · September 30, 2005, 09:26 PM

ON my 14 inch pump 870 clone was wondering if I would be possible to mount a surefire? The light would hang out beyond the barrel would it get blown off? or damaged? My tube mag holds 5 ends exactly at the end of the barrel as where my pump ends during cycling..any thoughts on this one?

hmmmm, I've seen mag extensions that extend about 2-3 inches past the barrel, but they are thinner than the lights. Well, a cylinder bore will spread out quick, but I don't if it spreads out THAT quick. Hmmmmm, I'm no expert, just a shotgunner. I would hate to buy a nice attachment like that and have it be shot off though.

Hey, here's an idea. Make a dummy out of cardboard and see if you can fire the gun without it getting blown off.

Contact Surefire. I am sure the question has come up before.

yeah thanks I will do that...it would be a real pain If the blast of the slugs I use ripped up or burnt a new light.
