    Here is the full image as it stands right now

    I'm still waiting for the Magpul UBR stock to come out so I can add that (and a MIAD) to a Mesa high-tube M4-style adaptor along with a 4 (maybe 6) shotshell holder on the left side. I'll probably try a new compact Aimpoint whenever that gets released.

    I don't really like the front sight as it stands. I'm curious if there is any way to use a modified barrel clamp w/ integrated rail and pop on an AR15 front folding BUIS on that rail to align with the rear BUIS. Otherwise, the only alternative is to hang one on the end of the 12" KAC 870 RAS which isn't a very long sight radius.

    It's still a work in progress I guess. The only potential downside on the 618 unit is it'd be kinda silly to take to a range. Maybe I'll have to try the scattergun/surefire rail system with a TLR-1 or similar and buy another 870 to bump the 618 to. One good thing that I didn't consider about the rail systems is you can just pop the light off for daywork. I was mainly hesitant about the idea since I wasn't sure how well grip panels would stay put under heavy recoil with my paws on it.
