Great drop in upgrade with one small issue - FAB Defense M-LOK Compatible Handguard for Remington Model 870

I’ve been experimenting with a number of 870 accessories to get the right mix for an upgrade project. The FAB handguard went on without a problem. Dimensionally smaller than the Magpul handguard that preceded it, the desired mounted the barrel shroud doesn’t interfere with slide functioning. Its grip area shape aids in maintaining a positive grip especially for smaller hands or for a shooter who does not possess a lot of grip strength. The M-Lok compatible slots are a nice plus for mounting a hand strap and a short rail segment.

The only negative (which unfortunately deducts a star) is if you pull back on the slide with a bit too much “oomph” the rear of the handguard can get stuck on the shotgun frame. While easily remedied by pushing the slide forward with an equal amount of “oomph”, if you find this really bothersome you can Dremel out a small portion of the upper rear of the handguard to prevent this and still have the benefits of this item.
