Fitty% 808 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) I know I'm not the first guy to do this, SICARIO was, but I may be the second lol. I really liked the way the S12 looks with it on his. His is two tone, black & FDE, his main color is FDE with black while mine is black with FDE. His Magpul 870 fore-end is black and I needed the one in FDE but had to wait while they were in production. It came in the mail today and tomorrow I will modify it to fit. I'm in school to be a machinist so I'll do everything on a mill. I plain to take quality photos/video and it will do a video on it. Just wanted to let you all know and to gauge interest in a video for it. Here's the video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwLjNUhOSns&list=UUxeAlQe_QtiTuM0IP_7DHkQ&index=1&feature=plcp Edited October 7, 2012 by BLK-HWK-VET 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bcrider 68 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 That looks awesome. Do you think it's possible to put a surefire 870 fore end with the integrated light on the s12? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ Dual 43 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Tagged and followed. I didn't really need a rail system as I'm using the Saiga rail for optics, but I really wanted to replace the OEM Saiga fore end for a better look. Thanks, I've found it.

SICARIO 26 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Looks great! Here is what the Mod looks like on the inside of the grip. I did mine with a dremel and cutting wheel, but a mill would leave cleaner cuts. You really only need to take off the top portion of the tube, and then clean it up wherever it's catching on the gun itself. The only thing I can see it needs is a tang that will help mate it up to the receiver. Otherwise the handguard will start to slide under the heavy recoil. Here's a CAD model pic of what I have designed. I can post a pic with dimensions if people would like Oh, and of course, I get to show off too......

sunnybean 939 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 So, right now it is not attached to the receiver? You're just butting it up to the receiver and holding it on there with one screw into the FGB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SICARIO 26 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 So, right now it is not attached to the receiver? You're just butting it up to the receiver and holding it on there with one screw into the FGB? That's how I have it on. It works well as is, but after a whole day of shooting, it can slide a little. Once the tab is installed, it should be rock solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fitty% 808 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 The receiver tab needs to be bent to fit inside the receicer. Pics and video coming soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rnemhrd 165 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 The local gun shop had one of those on display. It feels solid as hell and good in your hand. Feels like a quality piece for sure. Nice call on the mod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well you could buy the forend and send it to me and I'll do it for a fee...OR you could buy the forend and wait till next week when Im done with the "how to" video and do it yourself! Its up to you lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fitty% 808 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Ok the video will be coming next week but I thought Id do a quick write up for you guys on how I did it. 1st remove the polymer between the two sides. I used a mill but a dremel or hack saw would work. Next I bored out a recess to secure the hardware to the gas block and to the "receiver tab" Next I made a "receiver tab" to fit in the slot on the for-end. Drilled and tapped both ends for hardware. Next the "receiver tab" needs to be bent to fit into the receiver. Then you can attach the hand guard to the receiver easily if you already have the rock-n-lock guide installed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
