A great upgrade to an old and reliable Remington 870, as well as a wonderful birthday gift from my adult son...the TLRacker Streamlight.

What does anyone do once they buy a firearm? Accessorize it of course! Which is exactly what I did to my 870 more years ago than I care to remember. The forend upgrade was both cool and functional at the time, at least I thought so. But as time passes and newer (better?) options come to market, it's time for a change.

I've been eyeing this particular upgrade for a few years and finally decided it was time. This video is the swap of the old forend grip with the RLTracker Streamlight forend with an integrated light system (SO not a fan of the bolt on type lights, especially when there is not picatinny to bolt on to!). Very easy and quick install and it feels great as well as looks great IMO. The two options for the light are a squeeze/hold for a temp light up, or click to on for a consistent light until click again for off.

While I was doing the upgrade I mentioned that I was going to replace the orange plastic follower as well will an aluminum anodized part. Shipping was so fast and I hadn't yet published this video, so I tacked that onto the end here. Nice finishing touch. Maybe in another 15 years it will be time for more upgrades ;)
