I have an old Mossberg 500 20GA shotgun that my dad got me when I was younger. I am working on setting it up as a tactical home defense shotgun. I found a tactical stock with pistol grip that will work, a decent heatshield (mainly to help blacken out the shotgun b/c its currently all camo), and a top weaver rail with a 4 reticle Reflex Sight. The problem I am having is finding a forend. I found one I like but it says that its only for the Mossberg 500 12GA. The only forends I can find for mine are tri-rails with very short rails. I want a single longer bottom rail to attach a forward pistol grip and a combination tac-light/laser sight directly in front of it for easy on/off w/out having to run a wired pressure switch.
Can anyone tell me the difference in the 12GA and 20GA forends? Is it something I can easily modify to work? If I have to, I can do a tri-rail, but I would much rather keep it clean and simple.
Thanks in advance.

i actually like my mossberg. Granted its only a 20GA but thats really all I need. Its very light and well balanced and I’m used to it.

This x 100. My 870 is a freakin’ beast.
Edit: Actually, fuck that. Get a Saiga-12 and you’ll never regret it.

I have a Remington 870 12G but its my hunting setup, not my tactical. My tactical is an older 870 20G.

Forget the combo laser/tac light, just get a full on LED tac light. For a home defense shotgun, laser is pointless. Better to blind the fuckers with intense light before lighting them up with slugs or buck.
Not sure about the forend. I supposed you’d have to do a little tinkering with some spares and see what can be modified. I don’t own any 20ga’s so I can’t tear one down to see myself.
