New stamp for my 870 came . Assembled everything and looks great.
Problem is the Wilson combat +1 sling loop sticks out into the beam for my wml light. 
Pics coming Wondering if I can bump the light out with a thicker rail section Or dump the loop  Attached File |

I had the same problem on one of my SBS builds. I ended up getting a +1 extension with the sling loop in the down position which technically solved the light problem, but I also went with this mounting bracket from Echo 93 which should also solve your problem. First pic below shows the bracket mounted to my 590A1, but 2nd and 3rd pic show it on my 870 Marine SBS. Another reason I like using this bracket is that it gets the light up out of the way so I can get a good full grip on the handguard, but the thumbswitch is in perfect postion to activate.

10-4, but you were able to get it tight correct?
once installed it is solid? |

Several companies make MLOK offset Picatinny mounts that might help you clear that sling loop (e.g., Magpul, Arisaka, IWC/Haley Strategic). I guess it will come down to the angle of the mount relative to your handguard; these seem to be designed around AR handguards.

well spent another $15 at wilson combat but I think I mis ordered.
I ordered the sling plate that faces down thinking I could swap it but I'm pretty sure I need a whole new +1 extension.  Attached File |

I haven’t looked at my +1 extension in awhile but surely it comes apart?
