Remington 870 Flashlight Mount Help

Rockingham · May 5, 2010, 12:09 PM

I own a Remington 870 Express (20 gauge) shotgun. It came complete with a pistol grip, collapsible stock, and 7-shot extended tube. I'm very satisfied with it. However, I would like to mount a flashlight on it. I've seen a bunch online but I don't want to make a jump to buy something that won't fit properly. I also don't like the systems I've seen that turn the light on when you rack the shotgun. I'd like both actions to be separate. I love the flashlights with the push-button on the bottom.

My questions:
Does anyone have any specific mounts/lights they like to use?
Do most mounts that fit the 12 gauges also fit the 20 gauges?

Surefire

Doesn't say it won't fit. I have one on my 12 guage 870. Excellent setup IMO.

Choate Forearm w/Picatinny Rail:

OR

Streamlight 69906 ring mount

Then get a Streamlight TLR-1:

Which has several other mounting options:

UTG Makes a pretty good mounting system as well.

Check out cdmgear.com

He has some really neat stuff. He also offers an adapter to fit a 20 gauge.

They make barrel clamps with rails on them...then you just need a rail-capable light.
