Once again, yes AGAIN, we need to drop a memo to Mossberg reminding them that just because you can does not mean you should  >:(

I think John Wayne just threw up a little in his mouth. Sweet jesus! That thing looks like a youtube joke. Look, I'm all for a lever for SD. But if that's the route you want to take, chamber it .44 mag or .357, put a large loop on the lever (to accomodate gloves and big hands) and mount a rail on the forearm for a light, and one on top for an optic and otherwise leave it alone. An M-4 stock? WTF, and why? I won't even address the flashider (did it have a bayonet mount? My eyes hurt too much to look that closely.) Someone at Mossberg needs to get to an AA meeting. ;D

Did anyone else notice that there is a rail on the bottom - ya know, where your HAND goes? But no rail on top, ya know, where the optics sorta kinda go? ? ? ?

All together now . . . . ABOMINATION!!!!!

Good catch on the bottom rail Path. I was too disgusted to look that closely. Mounting one on each side for a light? Maybe. But on that short end forend (and why is it shorter than normal?) is just asinine. There is no way you could hang anything on it and still hold the gun. BAC is right, the guide gun he posted (at least I think that's what it was) is just about perfect for SD. It ticks all my boxes. This thing? It just ticks me off. What were they thinking? I'll say one thing though. I'd pay good money to get ahold of the mailing list of everybody who buys one, because God knows that you can sell them anything. ;D
