AIM SportsShotgun Forend Removal Tool (Black, Small)

Good quality product that I’m sure would get the job done. However, my Mossberg 590 Shockwave’s magazine tube extends out a little over 2in from the castle nut. That being said, you can’t get the T-handle through the holes of the socket to get a good bite on the nut. Oh well… I ordered a longer one as well. We’ll see what happens when I get it tomorrow.

I have a Mossberg 500 with wooden stock/forend and this worked perfectly to remove the castle nut that holds the forend in place. This fits over the magazine tube and let me remove the nut WITHOUT having to disassemble or remove anything else on the shotgun. Great little tool.

A bit sloppy fit, but works ok. Good value

Let me preface this that there's a chance you don't need this. Seriously. Try taking the forend nut off your shotgun with reasonable force first like all those YouTube videos show you. Especially the ones that take note of how easy it is to change shotgun furniture. No penetrating fluid, no screamed obscenities, no hammers , no punches, no quiet sobbing in the corner of the bedroom amidst your growing stockpile of firearms and ammunition.Did it come off? Yes? Then you do not need this.Did you resort to any of the above? Then stick it in your cart and realize there's a reason you pay for a good gunsmith.I couldn't get my forend nut off my BRAND NEW Stevens 320 shotgun. I had a Magpul MOE forend tool... it was destroyed trying to take the nut off. I removed the entire forend assembly and tried rotating a spade bit that fit snugly, which only burned up an admittedly ancient 4V drill. I summoned an eldritch horror in my basement to no avail despite several of my neighbors losing their souls in the process.Then I tried all that again after leaving penetrating fluid for an hour and the only thing I got were several small cuts. I tried Stewart again (the eldritch horror hasn't left so I named him... her... it...), but they won't look at the forend nut, let alone go near it. Thankfully the cuts were minor and Stewart had some bandages tucked away... some... where... I don't ask...But this tool was like an avenging god descending from the heavens to strike down the heathens that call themselves over-torqued nuts. I could get leverage on it without bending anything and the protruding keys were solid.As far as I could tell, there was NOTHING wrong with the nut or the threads. Not cross-threaded, no galling, no other corrosion, or even dirt. I actually can't even get the notches in the nut to go as far as the factory torque level with my hands. It was just torqued down so tight that loosening it with this tool has irreparably rent asunder the space surrounding the Milky Way galaxy. I'm sorry, but you and I both know that what will bring about the end of existence won't be a grand scheme. It'll be a tinkerer that doesn't know when to stop.Stewart's been worshiping the tool ever since it broke the nut loose. Every time I come back home there's more offerings. I'm going to run out of neighbors soon, but worst of all I don't know whether I should join in or not.

The bar is a separate piece that you slip into the tool itself and it isn't sturdy it kind of slides around inside the slot not a fan of that but all in all you get what you pay for and it got the job done so I'm satisfied I would recommend.

The item simple just wont fit the Winchester SXP shotgun. I refuse to do any filing just to make it work. However the tool itself seems like its ok quality and would without a doubt remove overtorqued nuts

Lightening fast loosening and removal of the action slide nut on my Mossberg 500. Used it when switching to a tactical forearm. For those doing it for the first time keep in mind action slide nuts are extremely fine thread so be very careful when reinstalling and tightening. Also, if your original forearm is hard rubber or synthetic you will probably leave residue inside the threads of the magazine tube when you remove the forearm. These need to be cleaned or blown out prior to reassembly.

For under ten bucks, this is a good investment. I hate buying products that only do one thing, but this was necessary to tighten the forend in place on my early 2000s Remington 870 enough to secure the new Hogue furniture.Had tried using a needle nose pliers to tighten the nut (was easy to remove original forend that way) but it came unscrewed and forend rubbed on barrel.This time with the AIM Sports tool I added a drop of oil to the threads and kept turning the nut. Could not believe how much tighter I was able to get the forend nut -- felt okay using needle nose pliers but was only about 10% as tight vs. using this tool.Again, I hate buying extra garbage I'll only use a few times (maybe) but I feel this one is necessary; especially after the wasted time removing the tube extension, spring, barrel, etc. multiple times because I didn't get the right tool to being with...
