Damn where can I buy some steroids? Hahaha, that is a mean looking shotgun man. I'm sure that Jack'O'Lantern's days are numbered!

Where did you get that bracket for the flash light and lazer, and what are the light/lazers?

I agree it has more doodads on it for my taste, but to each his own. I myself am looking for a HD only shotgun but I keep passing up the Mossberg because of the bolt release location. Nonconducive to the whole pistol grip thing and I want to keep my options open.

I have one quesiton: How does the light and laser on the end affect the balance of the weapon? Does it hinder lateral movement much?

They don't allow cameras at the indoor range i go to often, and they have a "no brass collectors" rule that applies to shells too... i got pics of the pattern with slugs at 50 yards!

I'll stick to my bare bones Mossberg 500A. Killed a bunch of birds the last few days with it, simple as all heck and totally reliable, surprisngly enough I can hit birds without lasers, lights and optics on it too... just two little wee beads.

I think thats tight, bet it was fun setting that thing up too. To me, making the gun into what you imagined is just as fun as shooting it!

The shotgun is a combination of "ninja-litus" and drinking too many Monster energy drinks before doing some online shopping.

I'd find a new range to shoot at.

Anyways...how's it shoot? Tired of all the "upgrades" yet?

Ha ha, shoots great, just added a NcStar 5MW green laser with a pressure pad on the forearm (pump) of the shotgun. I think it's overkill considering the shotgun new was $369.00 and all it came with was an extra 28' field barrel. So the add ons, and i did the math, came out to over a whopping $1,200. That's including the Blackhawk bag, shells, bandolier, and everything shotgun related. Should of got an AR-15...
