What would be a reasonable cost to add a 5-6" rail to the top of a remington 870 and does anyone see any drawbacks to doing this? I plan to mount a spare Eotech to the top of the gun.

The gun has ghostrings and the rail would not be in the way of the sights.

Thanks!

Mfr is Knights Armament, I pulled it from Sableco's website.

My ghostrings would be about 1/2" too far forward for that mount :(

Does that effect a sidesaddle?

Thanks.

Opie, it's just aluminum and shouldn't be any problem to cut and trim to fit around your sights. That Dremel is a wonderful thing!!!

Skunk, is there anything tactical that you're not in touch with? I am constantly impressed!
