what forend is this??!?
Hello all! Brand new shotgun owner, here
Picked my security 6 shot up at a local auction. CRAZY here in TN. Walked up, didn't pull out an ID, didn't touch a pen, handed over a couple hundred and walked away with it. All in 2 mins flat.
ANYhow, I've got a dilemma and need someone's expertise! Help a fella?
All has been well and good with the purchase thus far, until I tried mounting a side saddle. As you can see from the pics attached, the forend seems too long and smacks the saddle when trying to rack. Digging further, I noticed this doesn't look like the stock forend, whatsoever.
I'd LOVE to swap it out with a shorter tactical pistol grip forend, but don't know where to start(even after reading a BUNCH of articles). It's my understanding I'm going to have to replace the molded plastic action slide tube(which is the actual forend on this one) with an actual action slide tube and nut from a mossberg 500, but not sure exactly WHICH slide tub and nut I need to purchase.
I guess my main question is, can someone help me get from this forend to a the tactical grip?
Appreciate everyone's input!
