Hey guys, I just ordered a new KSG.

What does it need for budget upgrades? Should I get a fore grip? Are there any good cheap red dots that hold up to 12 gauge?

Thanks
 
Magpul RVG. Eotech. Good to Go!

That's how I have mine set up. People worry about the vertical grips on the rails, but mine fits fine for how low the rails profile is. It is sturdy, firm, and natural feeling.

And even is you do break it it is only $80 from Keltec.

I would like to get a check cover for the reciever. Also I would like a muzzle break.

Use the search function, there is already a lengthy thread on KSG upgrades. Just search "KSG"

As far as cheap red dots, I have not tried one but have a look at a vortex sparc. If it breaks, just use the lifetimes warranty.
 
So just thought I would ask.

I know the KSG does not really need magazine tube extensions, but if a guy where to add 5.5" of length to the barrel using an SMT tactical choke and muzzle brake, it would only make sense that you could use the undercarriage space for another 4 shells.

19 2 3/4"!

Could you imagine mini shells?

Does anyone know of a company who has or is trying to build an extension?
 
and just as many warranty returns. I went through two of them on my Cq before. Eotech or aimpoint only from now on for me. But at least Vortex does have a decent warranty program.
 
The only two things I did to my KSG was add an EOTech EXPS3-0 and Magpul BUIS.

I tried the AFG2 and really did not like it, so I took it off. I also would hesitate to put a vertical grip on it as I believe it could crack the plastic pump on the shotgun...

Cheers

Enforcer brake, Magpul BUIS, buttonsling, kydex cheek pad, small slip on pachmyr recoil pad, vang comp followers, vert grip, blah blah blah. I have a choke adapter as well but I probably won't ever use it.
 
Got mine the way I like it. Little heavy, but not too bad

I wish Keltec or someone else would make a recoil pad for it and I wish someone other than Keltec would make a replacement forearm for the KSG.

I have a brake and QD sling mount in mine. I need to find better taller flip up irons for it. Something that actually works on a shotgun. I have pretty much blown apart a set of PRI sights on it. They are flopping all over the place but I really like the HK style hooded sights with the tru-glo inserts. I would love them if they survived recoil and were 1 in taller.
 
I started another thread about KSG mods a while ago there is some good info in there, just search KSG. It would be my suggestion to use a Magpul XTM handstop kit for the pump, that's what I did works great. IMO, far better than a vert grip or angled foregrip, I tried most of what's out there(Tango down stubby, Magpul RVG,AFG & AFG2, & a KAC vert grip & the Keltec grip, XTM worked the best and felt natural). If you insist on a AFG use the Keltec one. I got the Kydex cheek cover, which is probably the best budget mod you can do IMO, helps with the cheek weld and not having your teeth ring when firing slugs. I got Magpul BUIS for it, works awesome, bolted them on and voila I was on target @ 35m w/ slugs. Still in the market for a EoTech w/ Zombie stopper reticle, a friend let me try his and it works perfect for the KSG, center reticle is for slugs, outer reticle for buck or heavy game load & the bio hazard flares are great for bird shot or light loads. <----- Best optic for a KSG IMO.

What I really want for it is the Rem-choke adaptor and One Shots' Gator duckbill shot spreader they brought in, may be ugly as sin but totally badass in every way. The other suggested mod I would tell others is the Mesa tactical rail system and shot holder, I bought one from Wanstalls but have yet to install it, haven't had the time. You may or may not have some fitting issue's but nothing a enterprising gun nut can't figure out.

For slings I found a QD Single point sling (Magpul Ms3 with QD) and a QD adaptor work best for me (it's a loop with a QD mount sewn into it, not sure where you get them found it in some old gear of mine), some don't like single points more power to you. This worked best for me.
