Rob,
Looks like a 20" to me, nice project.
I think I would've went with a Hogue or Speedfeed short LOP stock. I use the pistol grip one.
I also use a Vang 1 shot extension, for the same reason, lighter weight. If you use a +1, and not utilize that space, if you need to do a select slug drill, you simply stuff a slug into the tube(there's now space for it) and run the action, now I have a slug in the chamber, and shotshell on the ground.
I also have the XS sights on the RS barrel, not a huge fan, but OK enough.
SureFire forend is the only way to go for a light.
Having said that, put me in the "shotgun hate" club. But, just like the 1911 hate club, its more about hating its fan boys, then the gun itself. And, once again the reverse elitism rears its ugly head. Much of the reasons have been mentioned in this thread.
Those who talk about, "inside shotgun" longer range I'll bring my carbine" etc. That's all fine and good, if you know exactly what the fight will be, rarely if ever is that the case.
Shotguns are certainly viable tools, but, outside of breaching, I can't see a time I would willingly choose a "gauge" over a 5.56.
