It features Picatinny rails on the top barrel and below the bottom barrels.[http://www.downrange.tv/blog/review-chiappa-triple-shotgun/41236/ Review: Chiappa Triple Shotgun] This allows for this model to use a wide range of optical sights and tac-lights. It also features black plastic furniture. However, unlike the basic model, the BLK uses a standard butt-stock that cannot be shortened.
