Need a light mount for my 870 (recomendations)

[kbi]

Hey everyone I recently started throwing some accessories on my O/D 870 Tactical

Over size safety
Tacstar 6 rd side saddle
Spectre sling ( very nice )

And other then fiddling with the sights ( not high on my list ) I want to put a flash light mount on it. I saw a shotgun in one of those gun magazines a few months back but didnt give it a 2nd thought till recently.

The mount fit between the bottom of the barrel and top of the magazine tube and the light was off to the side which is what I want to replace th e factory barrel clamp.

Any recomendations of suggestions?

Thanks all

Spend the money on the Surefire fore end.

What he said. Putting a light where you are talking about means two things: either you're going to have reach forward to hit the tailcap or you are going to need a switch cord.
Reaching forward could be a little awkward depending on the length of your arms and where you grip the foreend.
Having a tape switch means risking that thing getting caught in the action, or caught on whatever, or getting pulled loose, or any number of other things.
On the 870 (or any pump gun) you would be much better off with the SF weaponlight.

The Surefire FA series (618/918) lights are nice but $$$$ .


I did see the surefire 870 railed M69 forend a few weeks ago and all that seems to need is a rail cover(s) .

kbi,
Save your pennies and get the Surefire forend FA 618/918. "Trying to save a dime you'll spend a dollar." RAB (my dad) "Buy cheap, buy twice." Pat Rogers' dad.

Also, I recommend the VangCompSystems jumbo head safety.

Another vote for the Sure Fire. You won't regret it. You can find them for under $200 used on the EE forum on TOS if you're patient.
