Ok so I recently bought a Mesa telescoping high tube stock and adapter, not the LEO, and I'm very happy with my purchase. Got it on super sale for half price but I want more. I noticed a lot of guys run the Black Aces rail system and was wondering if that would mount into the top of my Mesa adapter where the current picatinny rails are.
If I do decide to run that rail system do you think a 6 shell Mesa side saddle will also fit? I'm worried the Black Ace rail won't screw into the adapter or may not be in the right spot. I also noticed that I need a tube extension of about 3 shells before the brackets that hold the front of picatinny rails in place will secure to the tube. Is the same true for Black Aces rails?

Since both the Black Aces rail and the Mesa Tactical sidesaddle mount through the holes for the gun's trigger plate pins, I don't think you can use them both on the same shotgun without modifying something. I don't know if the rail will interfere with your stock or not, but since they're from different manufacturers, I doubt they're designed to be installed together.

Why exactly do you want to add that massive quad-rail, anyway? Are you really going to be hanging so much stuff on your shotgun that you need that amount of rail space? You already have a sizable top rail with that Mesa stock setup, and if you just want to add a light or something, an inexpensive clamp-on or fore-end rail will work just fine while being a lot lighter and less expensive.
