SureFire now has these rail forends for shotguns:
http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main.pl?pgm=co_disp&func=displ&strfnbr=6&prrfnbr=1128&sesent=0,0&search_id=1102652
In the ad copy they say, "These precision rails enable consistent 'repeat zero' of any accurately dimensioned devices attached to them, such as SureFire lasers or WeaponLights." This clearly encourages hanging a laser on one. I have no doubt the device will repeat its position on the rail alright, but my concern would be does it matter? It seems the movement of a pump shotgun forend relative to the barrel is the real problem.
But thought I'd check and see if anyone has actually done this? Does a laser mounted on the forend work adequately well for say slugs out beyond 30-40 yards with any kind of reasonable precision? Just grabbing a forend and moving it around tells me it probably wouldn't. Not many other rail mounts wiggle around that much...
