    I think I'm leaning towards magpul SGA. If I can swing it I'll be ordering it next week.

    Here's a good look at one, and a look at installation.

    the XS banded sight is as far ahead as you can put it because of the barrel keeper at front where it attaches to tube...and there is no room in front of it, but its a very accurate sight with slugs...and the tritium is very good in dark. The band was not modified, you just have to bend it over the barrell... it works great.

    the XS sight is hands down awesome on the shotty....you will not regret it at all if you get it.....also the knoxx stock is great, but if i were to go back.....i would get the knoxx NRS (non-recoil reduction-fixed)....the recoil knoxx stock works great for recoil reduction, but there is more muzzle jump, so if recoil is not a problem for you get the knoxx NRS...and its about 50.00 cheaper than the other

    Going to try to hit the range tomorrow. Went to walmart to grab some shells, discovered bulk packs come in #4. This is a GREAT deal at $32/100. I usually don't even look at the bulk packs because they were all #8 before. Happy.

    Thumbs up

    75 shells down the tube today. She's buttery smooth. I did some smoothing out of the action bars. I have had NO problems whatsoever with rounds sticking in the chamber. Really happy with this shotgun.

    that's how i read it so if i am wrong , could somebody please correct me...
    OAL is the longest straight line measurement.

    It might be that the longest straight line measurement will be found when measuring in the way you describe. On most rifles and shotguns, the longest straight line dimention will be found from the tip of the butt stock at the bottom to the top forward edge of the barrel.

    So... what was the final verdict? Can you put a knoxx stock on an 8.5 and still be over 26"? aka non restricted?

    I'm thinking of painting it red and calling it "Chico Diablo."
