Shotgun Build : Reflex Sight
It's time to move on to the next stage of my survival shotgun build. The base model is a Mossberg 500 Defender with 18" barrel. In the last post, we installed a SideSaddle shot shell holder on the side of the receiver. In this post we will install a picatinny rail on the top of the receiver along with an NC-Star reflex sight.

Remove factory installed screws in the top of the receiver.
Mount picatinny rail to receiver top with included screws and allen wrench.
Slide reflex sight onto rail and tighten. Sight works best near the front of the receiver.
The sight comes with four settings. This is the classic crosshair.
Simple dot.
Circle and crosshair.
Doughnut.
I am very pleased with this install. The sight is very light and provides rapid target acquisition. Total install time: about 5 minutes.
