The Woox Gladiatore Forend transforms standard Mossberg shotguns with premium Italian walnut construction and enhanced ergonomics. This handcrafted upgrade replaces factory plastic components with solid wood that provides superior grip control and classic aesthetics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike mass-produced polymer forends, the Gladiatore features hand-selected walnut with distinctive grain patterns that improve both function and appearance. The ergonomic contours reduce hand fatigue during extended shooting sessions while the natural wood texture provides secure grip even with wet hands. Each forend undergoes multiple finishing stages to achieve a durable protective coating that resists moisture and impact damage.

Field testing demonstrates the Gladiatore's ability to maintain zero shift and consistent point of impact across temperature variations.
