Abstract

See full text

A forend for use with a pump action firearm having a barrel with a magazine tube arranged adjacent and parallel thereto. The pump action firearm further includes an action slide assembly slidably receiving the magazine tube and the action slide assembly has a distal end and an action slide cap configured to engage the distal end of the action slide assembly. The forend comprises an elongate body having a U-shaped cross-section configured to be secured to the action slide assembly by an action slide cap engaged to a distal end of the action slide assembly. A guide defining a barrel receptacle is configured for keyed engagement to an interior of the elongate body to prevent rotational movement of the guide relative to the elongate body with the barrel receptacle facing toward the top of the U-shaped cross-section of the body. The barrel receptacle is configured to nest a radial portion of a barrel exterior, wherein the guide limits axial rotation of the forend about the magazine tube relative to the barrel.
