The LC bbl means Light Contour. There's less steel in the LC bbls, and that drops the weight some. This may be to your advantage, since you're going to crop the stock,dropping the weight aft. Shotguns too light in the front are called muzzle light,and are hard to swing smoothly.

Ideally, the balance point should be roughly centered between the hands, when grasped as if to shoot.

I'm gonna start a thread about the Rule of 96, so you can see what and how weight and balance plays a part.
