    Yes the fibre optic is really good. So friggin bright. Even in low light conditions.
    The action on these feel smooth too, similar to a Benelli the way the bolt feels when it slides and locks open/close.

    ATI makes a pistol grip/M4 style collapsible stock, and S&J make sling mounts, side saddles and will soon offer Magpul forend conversions sometime after November.

    I have an Escort Legacy (semi-auto, changeable chokes) and love it.

    I sent a support email request to Wanstalls, but was hoping someone who owns one can chime in.

    What are the chances the barrel wall on the 14" aimguards is thick enough to tap for chokes?

    Hatsan barrels are chrome lined, which could be a deciding factor. Not sure...

    There is also the possibility of a external threading job, as the Escort MP line has this feature already.

    I am looking at the Marine variant, so six of one, half dozen of the other, since the outside of the barrel is also chromed.

    I'll probably still end up picking one up, but it would have been nice.

    Does anyone know anything about the Scorpio PA-01? I see it does have chokes (although it is shorter, at 12.5")

    Just curious, if anyone knows that'd be great!

    Length of pull?
    Receiver material, aluminum/steel?
    Stocks or adapters available to fit 870 or 590 stocks?

    Thanks! Really intrested in the marine guard!

    Chances are pretty good. I know from experience (for science!) That a Remington 870 with 14" barrel and birdshead comes in at 26.5"

    So I am guessing you are safe.

    I bought the Scorpio PA-01 from Wanstalls, but returned it because it wasn't compatible with 870 parts (despite being an 870 action). Wanstalls return policy was excellent, they were very helpful and considerate, they earned a repeat customer with that transaction. However the Scorpio is made pretty cheaply, the stock is very thin hollow plastic and the forend is almost completely molded plastic (that is, there is no forend tube or whatever it's called that an 870 forestock would normally attach to).

    Wanstalls really impressed me but the Scorpio did not.
