Give your pump shotgun a purpose-built upgrade with the Adaptive Tactical EX Performance Forend (AT02006F). Engineered from durable black polymer, this lightweight forend improves purchase, handling, and recoil management while preserving the clean lines you want. The star of the show is a concealed 2" Picatinny rail: tuck it away for a snag-free, low-profile feel—or deploy it in seconds to mount a light, laser, or foregrip. Designed to fit Mossberg 500/590 and Maverick 88 models, the EX Performance Forend brings practical ergonomics and modularity to hunting, home defense, and range rigs alike.

Why This Forend Belongs on Your Shotgun
Confident Grip, Faster Cycling
Aggressive, directional texturing and ergonomic shaping help you maintain a solid grasp through recoil and rapid strings. The result: smoother pump strokes, better sight tracking, and quicker follow-up shots.
Accessories When You Want Them—Gone When You Don’t
The concealed 2" Pic rail keeps your forend sleek for field carry and storage. When it’s time to run a weapon light or other accessory, simply reveal the section and mount up—no bulky rails or permanent clutter.
Built to Work, Built to Last
Adaptive Tactical’s reinforced polymer shrugs off rain, sweat, and solvents. The robust body resists flex and deformation, staying tight on the action tube so your stroke remains consistent over thousands of cycles.
Purpose-Driven Ergonomics
The EX Performance geometry positions your support hand naturally, promoting straight-line pump motion and minimizing muzzle dip—useful on the clock, in low light, or in the field.
Ideal Use Cases
Home Defense / Duty: Add a handheld-quality weapon light on demand; maintain a snag-free profile off duty.
Hunting & Field: Carry all day without hot spots; deploy rail only when needed (night hunts, predator control where legal).
Range & Training: Positive control helps new and experienced shooters alike manage recoil and cadence.
Installation & Fit Notes
Unload & Clear: Verify the chamber and magazine are empty before beginning.
Disassembly: Remove the barrel and factory forend per Mossberg’s manual.
Action Tube Check:
Removable forends (typical Mossberg 500/590): Swap directly using the forend nut.
Pinned forends (common on some Maverick 88 / economy models): Convert to a standard action slide tube and nut to install this forend.
Torque & Test: Reassemble, perform function checks, and verify the forend clears the receiver, side-saddles, and lights through full stroke.
If you’re unsure which action tube you have, measure your slide tube and consult your parts supplier for the correct nut/tube kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my Maverick 88 out of the box?
A: Many Maverick 88s ship with a pinned forend. If yours is pinned, you’ll need to convert to a standard action slide tube and forend nut. Once converted, the EX Performance Forend installs like a typical Mossberg 500/590 forend.
Q: Can I mount a weapon light without extra rails?
A: Yes—use the concealed 2" Picatinny segment for compact light mounts. For larger light bodies or tape switches, consider accessory clamps or offset mounts.
Q: Does the forend interfere with side saddles or heat shields?
A: The low-profile shape plays well with most side saddles and shields, but always cycle the action fully after installation to confirm clearance.
Q: Is any hardware included?
A: Packaging varies by retailer. At minimum you’ll use your existing forend nut (or action slide tube kit if converting from a pinned style).
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wipe-Down: Clean with mild soap and water; avoid harsh abrasives.
Hardware Checks: Inspect the forend nut and action bars periodically, especially after high-round training.
Accessory Mounts: Use manufacturer-recommended fasteners and thread treatment on accessory screws.
