I'm actually thinking about getting one of these stocks for my 500. It reduces almost all of the recoil.

great stock. this is what i have pictured on my 870. i just sold it a few days ago as well. very good at reducing recoil!!!!

Sweet man, but why did you sell it?

dunno really! just wanted to do something different with the gun. i had too much tacticool stuff on it that was just adding weight. taking a different route, trying to build the perfect home defense shotgun w/o unecessary parts and gadgets. you cant go wrong with that stock though.

ebay has a bunch of them for decent prices. i sold mine for $100

id say its overpriced. get a plain 870 at Big 5 or other shop for about $300. then youll have $200 to add all sorts of cool stuff and youll end up with a better gun.

you could do:
- heat shield
- fiber optic bead sight
- side saddle / shell carrier
- extended mag tube
- all sorts of options with buttstock/forend. just depends on what you want

You gonna walk me through it? :D

Hey all,

I will be moving out of the rents house within a year, as I will be graduating in May. One of my first purchases will be a shotgun. I am choosing this as the ideal weapon to protect my home for a couple reasons. 1 - I don't have to be an Ace shot with it, the spray helps and 2 - The sound of a shotgun cocking is a very distinguishable sound.


My question is this: What to get? I have been looking at pistol grips with a folding stock, and I like remington's (http://www.remington.com/products/f.../model_870_folding_stock_7-shot_Extension.asp)

Is there anything else you guys would recommend? Any other shot/gun in general?

Thanks!


First off I want to give you an early congrats and secondly I don't know too much about guns but I would think having a shotgun and a couple handguns would be cool. Once I started with one gun I would get addicted and probably start collecting a few lol

sure! just lemme know which parts you like, and ill tell you what brand to go with. what do you want with the stock and forend? pistol grip, regular buttstock, side folding, top folding, thumbhole, pistol grip in front, picatinny rails?

your options are endless!

check out www.mesatactical.com they only have a few accessories, but the stuff they make is of the highest quality and rock solid. nothing like the TacCrap (tacstar) brand :)

Awesome, sounds great! I like the look of the pistol grip, however, I want performance as well. Is there anyway to do kind of a combined pistol grip/stock? (Hopefully that made sense)
