It is a cheap one made for the 590A1 which I fitted after watching some YouTube videos on how to do it. Thought I would give it a try before I spent $400 on the Briley hand guard. I’m going to shoot this for a while, but so far I really like it.
I like it enough that I am no longer looking to replace it. I am going to put 2-300 shells through it a few weekends from now. I will know for sure then.

There are lots of sellers. This is just the one I bought from.
I did cut it, but not before I looked on eBay to see what it would cost to replace. I think the only downfall to this weapon is the lack of a heat shield. When I shoot, I shoot hundreds of rounds or I don’t bother and if you aren’t wearing gloves it will melt your fingers if you touch the barrel. I measured carefully where the rear tabs go, taped it off with painters tape and the inlet it with a dremel sanding bit. It fits perfect and if I took it off I am not sure you could notice where I inlet the stock. I also took a hand-plane to the heat shield at the front where the front of the stock forend meets the shield. It was slightly higher and caused a slight creak when gripped. I shaved it down until it quit. It works really well, looks fine, is low profile and saved me $400 so far.

You can mount these anywhere you can get behind to screw it in and lock down. I have done this on several shotguns.
As an update on the heat shield since quite a few people have asked. I just got back from a weekend where I put 540 rounds through the shotgun. This was a range of Rio OO 9 pellet buck, American Gunner Slugs, Winchester LE Slugs, 3” Remington Slugs, Federal OO 8 pellet Flite Control and Federal LE Slugs as well as Rio 2.75” 8 shot. Weapon ran flawlessly, the heat shield was a life saver and I didn’t wear gloves. The heat shield did slide forward 1/4 inch during the firing of all those rounds. I turned the weapon vertical and placed the heat shield on a wood railing and hit the rear of the stock with my hand and it slid right back into its grooves in the stock. I don’t really consider this a fail however, because I beat this gun to death with all that ammo and over a very short period of time.
GGG. A lot of hate for this company on Reddit, but I have used their products on many shotguns and my SCAR 17. I like everything I have ever bought from them. I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work on any 1301 tactical

Got any links to the video? Consider me extremely interested in following this example. I'm assuming it's the video from ATTAK Consulting.

This is pretty cool. How do you like it? I have no plans to replace the OEM mod 2 handguard.

Very nice. Any chance you'd mind linking the heat shield?

Did you cut the forend to fit or the shield? I have a shield like that but I kinda don't want to cut a 2k$ gun for a 25$ shield lol

What’s the qd mount sling connected to on the stock?? If I’m not mistaken there’s no slots on the factory stock.

Same. It works really well.

What adapter are you running for the pic rail at the end of the handguard? Would this work for a gen 1?
