Why didn't you post the pic of it? =) I know it isn't near as bling as yours, but it is still cool... yo yo yoooOOOooooo...
Here's one I just took showing the Krebs front sight post. You can just make out the ghost ring in the rear, which replaces the factory open notch sight in the dovetail. I ground down the factory front to get it out of the sight picture. Cat is still not impressed.

Well, I just received a nice looking stock from NPR and can't wait to mount it! Unfortunately I think I need to get two adapters to make this happen, one to place under the tang (which I will probably have to grind off) and then bolt the folding mechanism to it and then mount the stock.
None of this is NPR's fault. I have been scrolling back through the links which is how I have come to this conclusion. Am I correct in my assumptions?

Yes, you will need an adapter block, and also a hinge if you want it to fold. They make a block that works without cutting the tang, but it looks stupid, and that stock is probably too long for it unless you're a real orangutan. This is the adapter block I am using with my S-12; it is great, except the main screw that came with it was just barely long enough, and I had to egg out the artifact trigger pin holes slightly in order to use the additional allen head screws on the sides. Those aren't totally necessary, but I think they add some strength and rigidity to the setup.

Which one did you get? I ordered one of the push button style ones from CSS earlier today, because I've had some issues with the standard style getting loose under recoil with heavy loads from the 12 gauge. It hasn't actually unlocked itself on me, but I can sometimes feel it wobbling around a bit. The push button style is supposed to be a little more positive in its locking, plus it locks open too, unlike the standard hinges.
