What about the Blackhawk two-point sling that holds 15 shotshells? I put it on mine. All that must really add to the weight. :fire
Armed not dangerous but potentially lethal.

What would you need more rails for? I already see a light.

BTW, looks sharp.
Probably to mount the AFG

the rails are to mount the AFG and thumb stop to the forend. The side saddle and red dot site are still shipping. and Yeah I need to get a sling. I changed out the standard blank adaptor with the included sling adaptor that came with the ATI stock. I'm still researching to decide how I want to mount it. Definitely a 2 point, but I don't know if I want to use the swivel on the barrel screw or attach a QD system to the other side rail oposite the flashlight.

it's really not bad at all, actually. the flashlight is probably the heaviest, but everything is pretty evenly distributed. plus the AFG and thumb stop, as well as a sling(when i get one) will all help with stability.

Are you going to go for a red-dot sight, or something like a ghost-ring iron sight with a post front?

Red dot. I did quite a bit of research and read really good reviews about the Bushnell TRS-25. From what I've read it's one of the best in the under $100 range. Plus, the brightness goes to ELEVEN! :biggrinjester:

I think I paid $80 shipped.

All that weight is good for reducing recoil ;)

And I'm still curious about this...
