Description
Running a defensive shotgun in the dark without a light is a tough spot to be in, and the Adaptive Tactical EX Performance Light Forend solves that in one part swap. Instead of clamping a separate light to a rail and dealing with cables or awkward switch placement, this replaces your Mossberg's factory forend entirely and builds the light right into the body. The result is a sleek, snag-free front end with a textured operating surface that still pumps like it should, plus 300 lumens of usable white light aimed exactly where the muzzle is pointing.
What the EX Performance Forend Brings to Your Mossberg
The integrated light runs on two AA batteries with a run time of up to three hours on constant mode, so there is no proprietary battery to hunt down. You get three settings to work with: momentary on, constant on, and rapid strobe, all giving a wide, smooth beam that suits close-range shotgun work indoors. The ambidextrous on/off button sits within easy reach whether you shoot lefty or righty, and the light head uses an anodized aluminum bezel with a chamfered defensive edge and a tempered glass lens, so it holds up to bumps and weather.
Fit and Setup on the EX Light Forend
This version fits Mossberg 500, 590, 590A1, 535, and 835 pump shotguns, and it is built for owner installation with basic tools. The Maverick 88 will work with this forend, but because of how its action bars are set up, that model needs a separate forend slide assembly from Mossberg to run it. Worth noting up front, it does not fit the Mossberg Shockwave.
A Rail When You Want It
One of the smarter touches here is flexibility. The light detaches to reveal a 2-inch Picatinny rail, so if you would rather run a different light or accessory, you can. When you want the cleanest possible look, the included nose cap covers that rail entirely. The high-impact polymer construction keeps weight down and the whole unit is made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the EX Performance Light Forend fit my Maverick 88?
It will work on the Maverick 88, but not right out of the box. Because of how the Maverick's action bars are built, you'll need to add a separate forend slide assembly from Mossberg to run it. The forend itself replaces only the forend, not the full action bar setup, which is why that extra part is needed.
What batteries does the light use and how long does it last?
The integrated light runs on two AA batteries, which are included in the box. On constant-on mode you'll get up to about three hours of run time. Since it uses standard AAs, you can top off with batteries you already have around the house instead of tracking down a proprietary cell.
Can I remove the light and use a different one instead?
Yes. The tactical light detaches to reveal a 2-inch Picatinny rail, so you can mount your own light or accessory of choice. If you'd rather keep things clean and low-profile, the included nose cap covers that rail completely.
Does this fit the Mossberg Shockwave?
No, the EX Performance Light Forend is not compatible with the Mossberg Shockwave. It's designed for the standard Mossberg 500, 590, 590A1, 535, and 835 pump shotguns. Trying to fit it to a Shockwave won't work.
