I've seen the magpul ones a dozen times. My goal is to get a surefire forend on one. What stops other forends from being used?

Are you sure the Magpul forends you saw were 870 forends adapted to fit the AK?  All the ones I have seen were purpose-built to fit AKs by Magpul.

Before the AK specific forends came out many people were converting Magpul 870 forends to fit their AK's. I believe Canis Design Group even made/make an adapter that would allow you to use Magpul AR handguards on the AK.

What he said. I think I saw the mod almost 2 years before the handguards came out.

The thing is I just have to remove a lot of the material in the middle.
