Description
Getting a light onto a pump shotgun usually means bolting on a bulky mount or dropping serious cash on a dedicated forend setup. Adaptive Tactical took a smarter route here by building the light straight into the forend of your Remington 870. You get a clean, snag-free profile with a 300-lumen beam sitting right where your support hand already rests, which keeps things intuitive when you need to light up a room or a treeline in a hurry.
What the EX Lighted Forend Brings to Your 870
The light itself puts out 300 lumens with a wide, smooth beam that suits close-range shotgun work rather than throwing a tight spot way downrange. You get three modes to work with: momentary on, constant on, and a rapid strobe. The on/off button is easy to reach from either side, so it works well whether you shoot right or left handed. It runs on two AA batteries, which come in the box, and you can expect roughly three hours of runtime on a set. The bezel is aluminum with a chamfered edge and a tempered glass lens, so it holds up to real handling.
Setup and the Hidden Rail Trick
This forend is designed for owner installation. If you can swap a shotgun forend with basic hand tools and a little patience, you can put this on yourself. The light attaches with a patented quick-detach thumb screw clamp, so pulling it off is fast. When you remove the light, a 2-inch Picatinny rail is revealed underneath, ready for a laser or a different light. Prefer a slick look? The included nose cap covers the rail for a streamlined forend when you don't need accessories mounted.
Built to Take a Beating
The housing is weatherproof, high-strength reinforced polymer, and the whole thing is made in the USA. It fits the Remington 870 in 12 gauge, and the same platform light body carries over to other Remington pump and semi-auto guns. For a home-defense 870 or a truck gun that lives in low light, this is one of the simplest ways to add a real weapon light without turning the front of your shotgun into a science project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install the EX Lighted Forend on my Remington 870 myself?
Yes, this forend is designed for owner installation. Swapping it out uses basic hand tools and follows the same process as changing any standard 870 forend. Take your time lining up the connector bar and you'll be good to go.
What happens to the light when I want to mount a different accessory?
The light attaches with a patented quick-detach thumb screw clamp, so it pops off fast. Underneath sits a concealed 2-inch Picatinny rail where you can mount a laser or another light. If you'd rather keep a slim profile, the included nose cap covers the rail.
How bright is the light and how long does it run?
It puts out 300 lumens with a wide, smooth beam suited to close-range shotgun use. On a fresh set of the two AA batteries, you can expect up to about three hours of runtime. The three modes give you momentary on, constant on, and a rapid strobe.
Does this fit shotguns other than the 870?
This exact SKU is built for the Remington 870 in 12 gauge. Adaptive Tactical makes the same style light forend for other platforms like the Mossberg 500, 590, and Maverick 88, so check the fitment listing before ordering for a different gun.
