Help w/ 870 Barrel Shroud Info

[BenCarp27]

I have searched the net several times in the last few days looking at barrel shrouds for my 870. Unfortunately, my "google-fu" isn't exactly a black belt standard.
What I'm looking to know is if anyone here knows of a shroud that comes with a picatinny rail?
I've found several with ghost rings, tri-dots, etc., but none with a picatinny rail. I know they make plenty of fore grips with a railing system.
But does anyone know of a shroud? Do they even make them? Is there a reason if they don't?

Thanks.

Is that the shoulder thing that goes up?

No, I was writing about the barrel shroud that affixes to the barrel to prevent touching a hot surface after firing. Sort of looks like the shrouds on the old air-cooled machine gun barrels.

like that?

i dont know if you can see it i should have gotten a better picture

 

[BenCarp27]

Yes, that's it.

nope they dont make one with a rail. i had to get the side saddle with the rail and the heat guard seperate. im thinking about getting rid of it if your interested.

I'm looking to turn my 870 into an HD project, but I want to be able to throw the original hardware back on with no harm done. I was trying to find a clamp on shroud with a picatinny to mount a red dot without having to tap or mark the shotgun in any permanent way.
Do you know of any other options?

 

[bearfutedninja]

mine is not permanent. it uses the pins that hold in your trigger mechanism for the side saddle and rail, they give you some that are threaded internally. and give you screws that screw into them. less than ten minutes it can be transferred back. the shroud is just held on by a clamp i guess you would call it or a pinch bolt.

Thanks. Do you have a brand name for your saddle? Do you like it/had any problems with it?

 

[bearfutedninja]

no problems just want to go hunting looking for a longer barrel and some wood stocks.

Don't worry man, I got the joke.

You can always count on me.

I don't get it...

I don't get it...

Nothing about you. I just can't help but think of this every time I hear or read about a barrel shroud.

That's classic.

I loved the tone of the guy's response, with just a tinge of pity in his voice, "No, it's not..."
