Re: tactical shotgun
I am not sure about the Tac Star, but am sure about the Mesa Tactical. You DO need a shorter forearm. I would assume that Tac Star requires one as well, because their six shot side saddle would have a similar length to the Mesa.

Re: tactical shotgun
Yes, you do.
On the non-tactical 870's the forend extends over the receiver when the action is fully open. This portion needs to be cut off in order for it to function.
This should be done anyway because it facilitates unloading. (no you don't just jack them through the chamber.)
If you are going "tactical" on it, then a Hogue forend will solve the problem. I have the "youth" stock set on my patrol shotgun. It's the perfect length of pull for body armor.

Re: tactical shotgun
That stock would need to be modified.
The Surefire forends do not.
The wood can easily be cut down and refinished.

Re: tactical shotgun
Why don't you buy one of the 3-gun gear side saddles ? They velcro on , you don't have to modify the forearm and they hold more rounds ..... http://www.3gungear.com/Pages/42_sg_side_saddle.html

Actually, you would still have to cut the fore end back. The sporting fore ends come back over the front edge of the receiver. Even with the velcro 3 Gun Gear model the frontmost round is at the front edge of the receiver.

Re: tactical shotgun
SF railed forearm does NOT need to be cut to use a MESA 6 shell saddle but it WILL need to be cut to use the 8 Shell.
Trimming the SF is by far the easiest as its just a matter of hacking off 1 section of the pic rail on all three sides. Touch up with some alumablack and call it done.

Re: tactical shotgun
Oh hold up I was refering to the SF picatinny railed forearm. If you are talking about the forearm with the light and pressure pad built in then I dont think it will fit w/o trimming for the 6 shot saddle.
I run the railled forend and an insight Proceyon light that I can attach to any railed weapon, personaly I prefer this to a dedicated light for each. YMMV

Re: tactical shotgun
Unless SF has changed something the weaponlight and sidesaddle should work. I've run several of them. At least the 6 round versions, I don't know about the larger ones.
