Hi all:
I have a pretty boring, run of the mill, Remington 870-based AOW with a 12" barrel. It's really the only NFA item we can possess in California, no MGs, SBS/SBR (unless they are C&R) and no suppressors. My AOW doesn't even have a front bead, no sights. I replaced the pistol grip with a Shockwave birdshead grip and I am going to replace the outdated looking quad rail fore end on it with a Raptor kit from Shockwave. https://shockwavetechnologies.com/product/raptor-f1-forend-for-remington-870-2/
I am also thinking about adding a pic rail over the receiver and adding a Holosun 507 to it, even though I know you have to be very careful about holding it to your face to aim, recoil mitigation through hold is key. Perhaps some QD points for a sling too.
Anyone else dress up their AOW? If so, tell me what you did and how you like it? To me, an AOW isn't very practical and I would MUCH rather have an SBS that is actually useful but until I leave California and move to America, an AOW is pretty much it so I am going to make the best of this gun. I wouldn't use it for much more than as a range toy, I have a bullpup S&W M&P 12 and a Beretta 1301 Tactical for HD.
Unfortunately our sheriff won't let us carry an AOW on our CCW, I asked, would be a good trunk/SHTF small gun.
