Remington Military 870 MCS forend

[Sir Aardvark]

I don't see these types of forends around that often. They are offered on Remington's 870 MCS - Modular Combat Shotgun.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

Specifically, will they slap your hand like the Surefire Flashlight forend?

Any other Pros/Cons?

I was thinking that one of these would help with the push-pull technique.

hmm... will it slap your hand.. I wonder.....

Of course it will.

Is it available to the general public?

I've used one on someone else's gun and thought it was good stuff, very comfortable and no hand slap issues noted. Unfortunately Remington started refusing to sell these as separate item fairly early on to other than military and police customers, so there aren't a lot of them to be had out there.
