Shotgun Modifications

[Robgoody6]

I am looking to modify my Remington 870. Already putting EOTech lighted fore arm on it. Looking for recommendations on adjustable butt stocks and any other reasonable suggested mods you may have.

sorry link didn't work

Mesa Tactical makes a GREAT adjustable stock.

Blackhawk makes an "ok" one.

Either can be had with recoil reduction.

But, as I've been counseled, a properly fitted stock (and forearm) + stance/technique doesn't need recoil reduction.

Whenever I find myself back in possession of an 870, I'll probably go with a short LOP Speedfeed stock.

adjustable stocks are great if your left handed avoid folding stocks. i put a folding stock on my Mossberg 500 when i fired it it tore up my knuckle pretty good.

Sounds like you have the sights covered add a Nordic Comp. mag ext, big head safety, Mesa side saddle and have the stock fitted to you with a good recoil pad

What is our intended purpose for said shotgun?

In this case EoTech means flashlight, not sights. That being said, I personally don't see much need for anything other than a bead sight unless it is gong to be a deer gun.

Would you recommend the short speedfeed for a tall person?

Magpul has a great adjustable stock.

Yes!!

You want to be able to "square up" to your target. The short LOP stock is just about the only way to do this. I'm 6'3 - and the normal factory polymer stocks that Remington puts on their 870s are too long for me to comfortably square up.

I don't know if you've ever checked out 870's done by Nighthawk Tactical but they have several ideas for things to add to an 870. You can add a Hydraulic Recoil Reducer, a Collaspible Stock, a Vang Comp Big Safety and Barrel Ports, a Side Saddle, Ghost Ring and Front Sight. There are a lot of things you can do to customize your 870. I think a lot of what they offer are valuable additions to an 870.

I have to recommend a side saddle as well. I have a TacStar 6 shot side saddle on my Mossberg 590 and love it. I plan on getting one for my Remington 870 as soon as I have the money to spare.

12'' LOP Hogue stock, velcro side saddle with extra cards from S.O.E., XS BIG DOT if you have bead sights, LOTS OF FULL POWER AMMO AND TRIGGER TIME.

870 i would go pheonix kicklite or mesa hands down.

 

[SERparacord]

Exactly, enough to get the weight of the gun over 14 pounds.

magpul now has shotgun parts for add ons, used them on my AR and everything was an easy fit and looks awesome.

Thanks for all the help. Went with Indy Guy's suggestion. Have the short Speedfeed stock, EOtech foregrip w/light, GG&G sling swivel. Feels good will have to fire it this weekend.
