Abstract
A forend for a firearm that includes a sight tunnel through the forend. The forend may be adapted to actuate a tube magazine of a shotgun to insert a shell from the tube magazine into a receiver of the shotgun. The forend may include an integral heat shield to protect a shooter from heat off of the barrel of the firearm. The forend may include a rail, such as an accessory rail, such as a Picatinny rail, that permits the attachment of an accessory to the top of the forend. The sight tunnel through the forend is below the accessory rail and permits the attachment of a light accessory to light up a front sight and/or a target. The front sight may be viewed through the sight tunnel by an operator of a firearm using the forend.
