For my first build I went crazy bolting stuff on that was "Cool" yet functional.
Well, "Cool" adds more weight.
And makes it harder for my wife and daughter to shoulder. The ATI Talon Tactical stock added more weight than I thought it would and didn't adjust as much as I thought it would. Plus the weight of the light/laser combo AND a big, heavy Red Dot sight made the thing feel like the barrel of a tank instead of a shotgun when clearing the house.
SO...
Made a few changes.
First;
Why have both light/laser combo AND Red Dot scope?
It's redundant.
Removed the UTG Leapers Red/Green Dot Scope and rail from the top of the receiver.
Then removed the ATI Talon Tactical 6 Position Stock.
In it place I added a Shockwave Technologies Raptor Grip instead. MUCH easier to maneuver around the house! Since I left the light/laser combo in place, I have no need to hold the shotgun at eye level to aim. Just put the light and red dot on the perp and BLAMMO!
I sighted the laser at about 20 feet and took it out to the desert for a test drive. Picked off several bottles and clay pigeons propped up in the dirt from at least 20-25 feet. My 13 year old daughter did it too, which was the real reason for the changes.
Lighter weight, more maneuverable, more versatile, broader range of potential users.
Win, win.
Light/Laser Combo from UTG. New stock Shockwave Technologies Raptor Grip
6 position stock, Red Dot scope and top rail, gone.
