I hate the sporter style forend, I especially hate that there isn't an action slide tube.
I finally tired of the stupid sticky outy "ear" like thingys to either side of the beveled section in front of the loading port.
So I cut them off. I used a fine sawzall blade by hand and followed that existing bevel. I then smoothed with 80 grit sand paper, still by hand, and then finished with a fine flat file.
It results in a much better looking, snag-free, loading area.
