What is the group experience with reciever-mounted side saddles on the M4 ? Does the extra mass of the saddle and shells effect the cycling mechanism ?

I'm considering adding a 8 shell, velcro-mounted saddle. Any advice would be appreciated !

Thanks

let me go take a picture of mine for you with the Mesa tactical side saddle, you should look into this setup.

Beautiful gun and setup !

Did the extra mass make any difference in the guns ability to cycle lighter loads ?

the gas gun would shoot with the kitchen sink tied to it...I've never had a problem with my M1014 and like i said before I never wanted a side saddle until I put this on my shotty, now I'd never do without it!

I just attached a red pointer laser to under side of barrel with black rubber bands, it cost about 20 bucks at staples and i have worked grave shift so long the laser will do the job for me and it means a smaller target for someone to shoot at when shooting at me!! is that a mag light ya got there? i guess it's one of the cheaper methods of illumination!!
