I'm trying to compile a list of forends that will fit a 590M without modification to either the device or the shotgun because so far I'm pretty much coming up empty. I freely admit that I am not particularly knowledgeable about the variable elements in shotgun design, so I won't be of much use in technical discussions on the subject. I have modifications done by a gunsmith even if it's something I could theoretically handle myself, even if I know what needs to be done. I just prefer to handle things that way.
Initially my intent was to mount a light, but now I'm just interested to see what's actually out there. I am fairly certain, at this point, that no forend made for the typical 590 will actually fit the 590M, and it is very difficult to tell that it won't just based on the item description (unless it actually states that it will not fit the 590M, as is sometimes the case).
The variety of reasons for various forends NOT fitting/functioning is pretty remarkable, and the work people have done to adapt certain models to fit their shotgun is commendable, but surely there must be someone out there that makes an aftermarket forend for the 590M that actually functions as intended right out of the box.
This was probably something I should have looked into prior to purchase, but live and learn, as they say.
Thanks in advance!
