Magpul MAG496 MOE M-LOK Forend Remington 870 12 Gauge Orange

The Magpul MAG496 MOE M-LOK Forend transforms the standard Remington 870 12 gauge into a modern tactical platform with integrated accessory mounting capabilities. This drop-in replacement forend eliminates the need for bulky rail systems while providing secure M-LOK attachment points for lights, grips, and other accessories.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional polymer forends that offer limited customization, the MOE M-LOK design integrates Magpul's proven M-LOK mounting system directly into the forend body. The reinforced polymer construction weighs significantly less than aluminum rail systems while maintaining the structural integrity needed for heavy use. Four M-LOK slots positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock provide versatile mounting options without adding unnecessary bulk.

Key Features

• Four M-LOK attachment slots for tactical accessories and lighting
• Drop-in installation compatible with Remington 870 12 gauge shotguns
• Reinforced polymer construction resists impact and chemical damage
• Aggressive texturing provides secure grip in wet conditions
• Orange polymer finish offers high visibility for training and identification
• Streamlined profile maintains weapon balance and handling characteristics
• Compatible with standard 870 barrel nut and action slide tube

Field performance demonstrates the forend's ability to maintain zero on mounted accessories through extended shooting sessions. The polymer material absorbs recoil energy effectively, reducing felt recoil compared to aluminum alternatives. Law enforcement and competitive shooters report consistent performance in adverse weather conditions, with the textured surface maintaining grip security even when wet or contaminated.
