The SX4 Tactical FDE comes issued from factory with a built-in, black MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail on top of the receiver, as well as with a Ghost Ring tactical rear sight and a high visibility fixed front post sight with protective wings. The sights are manufactured in Italy by LPA.
Both the stock and the handguard of the Winchester SX4 Tactical FDE shotgun are manufactured out of polymer, and come with aggressively checkered contact surfaces for a slip-proof grip in all conditions and with a set of removable sling swivel studs. Each shotgun also comes issued from factory with a 7mm recoil pad spacer, allowing shooters to adjust the length of pull according to their needs and preferences.
