I have zero experience with shotguns. I've been issued M16s, SAWs, worked with Mk.19s, 240Gs, and I've handled plenty of pistols, but only recently have I been looking into shotguns. I'm not stupid I just know nothing of the subject.
I've been looking at getting a Mossberg 500 breacher. I know it's not the cheapest of the 500s but I'm attracted by the thick barrel and the meaty comp (I've always been a fan of the 'muzzle thump'). I want to deck it out with some cost effective furniture (I can smooth the rough edges), so I'm going with ATI's Top folder, heat shield, and ghost rings. I don't want a tube extension because I don't want to smash it on someone who isn't worth it.
So here's what I need help with:
1. I can't see any way of getting a pair of rails on the front end short fastening it through the gas block (I know it's not a gas block, I don't know what to call it). By the way, I have access to a shop, and the know-how I need to use it.
2. I also need a low profile rail to mount on the receiver, I want it low to slap a dot sight on underneath the folding stock. I've seen very basic rails that sit high and hang off at the rear of the receiver; These look like ****.
3. As for the dot sight, I need something with a low-profile preferably with a red halo maybe reticle, nothing special, just adjustable.
4. Sidesaddle, nothing too pricey. I've looked at several, but, in my inexperience, I don't know what to choose.
5. Sling, three-point, with a well sized shotshell holder (I'm 6'6"). There are many brands, and, once again, I have little experience. This is something I'm not stingy about. I've had ****ty slings before, I'd rather not deal with them again.
