Looks bulkier and heavier than factory furniture- I’d like to compare them side by side.
The appeal of a combat/tactical shotgun to me is how streamlined they are. I really like the side-mount sling option for the stock… but not sure it would be worth the bulk.
If nothing else, you can make your shotgun look like the laser rifles we’ll be hunting dinosaurs with once we figure out time travel. That looks like something out of Star Wars.
I’m with you on that. Somehow, I doubt that Magpul would block the loading port, but I find it interesting that they chose to picture the unit with a four-reload side-saddle rather than with a six. Certainly, some manufacturers of saddles have had problems matching handguards/slides/forends with six-reload saddles.
I like the fore end. I love my Speed Feed stock so I don’t want to change it but the fore end with the slots of the light kit would be a great upgrade for mine.
I am interested in the stock. The angle of the grip, looks as though it will solve one of the main issues I have with shortened LOP stocks. The issue being having your thumb punch you in the face if you wrap it over the stock instead of running it straight forward. I will admit the stock does look different, but I think I will give it a shot when it becomes available.
A stock and fore end would probably be one of the last things on my list when looking for a shotgun. I rank control layout, sight/sling/side saddle options much higher. But thats just me .
Considering that the Remington 870 is a workhorse, I believe he did.
Besides, a stock that offers an adjustable length of pull, multiple cheek risers for various sight options, and built-in sling mounting option ranks pretty high in my opinion.
I had decided to get either the remy or a mossy 500 big 5 had a great deal on them. I could have gotten them both for under 600 bucks plus ammo. But I have been considering why I needed one. As I have said before all my firearms have more then one purpose. I use them for hunting , defense , and target practice. Now I do not like the taste of any kind of waterfowl as I don’t eat mud anymore. So hunting with a remy I wouldn’t do. But the remy has been around and has proven its tactical ability’s far longer then the mossy has. The stock and fore end are just Icing on the cake. It’s not the only reason why I am getting a remy. It just helps me to make a decision that I have been contemplating for over 3 years now. So I hope with what I have said you can understand why I plan on getting a remy. It might be 2 years before I decide to buy the stock and fore end as funds are available. By then there should be some reviews of them out there and I can make a better decision on me purchasing them. It’s just another good option to put on my choice of shotgun.
The adjustable cheek risers are really nice to have, especially now that more and more people are running T1’s and RMR’s on shotguns. I know I really like having the adjustable riser on my Benelli.
Like I said before, I think this stock has a lot of potential in offering a lot of flexibility to the 870 platform. Unfortunately for me, my stock needs have already been met but this can be a nice alternative to others, especially those in locations that prohibit pistol grip stocks.
I was at a one day shotgun course a few months back. There was one guy there trying to run an 870 with a AFG. He removed it long before we made it to lunch. Based on my observations, an AFG for an SG just doesn’t cut it, it is not designed for the extreme fore-aft motion that a pump shotgun requires.
