Done that as well. Sorry I wasn't more detailed.
As far as the hand guard goes, I'm good. I have no need to replace the stock hand guard or stock, and although I'm probably in the minority, I think both aftermarket options are pretty darn ugly and don't serve any additional purpose that would validate the cost, but not knocking others who have and like them. All I need is the CROM.

I ordered the Briley handguard from these folks and a month later it still hadn't shipped. Several emails later they finally agreed to a refund. I contacted Briley and they confirmed that they do sent product to them. Maybe I just had a bad experience. I was lucky and got in on the last Aridus handguard offering from Big Tex. Actually picked up the black and FDE and decided to go with the black. So I may end up selling the FDE. If I do I will post it here. Not gonna scalp it on Ebay.
I ordered a Briley handguard from the same eBayer back in January and 60 days later I still hadn’t received it. I ended up getting a refund and ordered directly from Briley.
Can anybody offer some pros and cons of The Holosun HS507C X2 and HS503CU, and which would be the better choice for mounting on a 1301 with a CROM?
I have a new HS507C X2 that just came today, but having second thoughts and considering the HS503CU. The HS503CU has a 65MOA circle compared to the 32 MOA circle on the HS507C X2. The HS503CU is a little heavier (I don't really think that matters to be honest) and has a larger footprint. The HS503CU is less expensive, but I'm not going to make my decision based on that since I have no problem spending more for the HS507C X2 is it's a better choice for this shotgun.
I do have an HS510C on an AR and aside from the large footprint, it's been a fantastic optic.
I do have an astigmatism and other stuff going on that won't allow me to use any red dot or open reflex sight with both eyes open (otherwise I see two images) but when I use the HS510C with my weak side eye closed it's fine.
Here are the two in question:

Good to know, thanks for sharing your experience. I guess that's the caveat emptor for "saving" $50. =/
The RMR footprint sights like the 507C-X2 have a 32MOA circle while the Aimpoint footprint sights like the 503 have a 65MOA circle. Both are fine, though some people prefer the 65MOA for buckshot. The only thing I've heard with regards to using 503s on a shotgun is to favor the buttoned SKUs over the dialed.
I personally use a 507C-GR X2 and like it just fine.

I recently got the RH CROM Aimpoint edition and put a HS503cu GR on it and absolutely love the set up. The green is very keen, by the way... The 65MOA circle is the bees knees for buckshot. The CROM is worth the wait, money, and grief to get. This along with the other Aridus goodies really make the 1301 sing.
I agree, aside from a good sling, the Aridus CROM and optic are the only real add-ons or upgrades I’m doing.
I’m just a bit torn between those two optics, but with someone with an astigmatism I’m guessing the 507 open reflex sight might be the way to go. I also have a Trijicon RMR low picatinny mount I can use to hold me over until I’m able to get an Aridus CROM.
[QUOTE-Another general question for the thread: since I have the Aridus stock adapter and the SGA stock, which Limbsaver pad would I need to get, or do I really need one since I've heard (and felt) that the stock pad on the SGA stock is pretty nice?[/QUOTE]
I bought a Magpul universal stock pad adapter that Limbsaver makes a pad to fit. That way, I could swap pads with an Allen bolt removal and replacement. Then, I took both the Limbsaver pad and the Magpul pad, and tested them with my most powerful slugs at the range. I couldn’t really tell the difference between the two pads. My 1301 T still sports the Limbsaver pad, and it’s the thicker one of their lineup, as shown in the photo. If I hadn’t already made the purchase, I’d just stick with the equally soft Magpul pad.
