My Benelli Nova project is finally done. It now wears a BSA red dot on a Weaver rail in front of the LPA rear sight, an extended magazine tube, and a Blackhawk buttstock pouch. Modest modifications, for sure, but I am pleased with the end result. I had a side saddle on this Nova for a while, but I removed it. The screws that replaced the takedown pins had a tendency to tie up the trigger mechanism when they were torqued tight.
Still, with the Blackhawk cuff I carry 12 extra rounds...seven in the pouch, and five in the shell loops on the pouch. The magazine is filled with seven reduced recoil 00 Buck shells, and the butt pouch holds another seven. The loops on the pouch hold five slug shells. I figure that this setup is more than adequate for social encounters in the middle of the night.
