870 folder and stock suggestions.

[Project_Mays]

Hey everybody, looking to upgrade my 870 tactical to a folding stock. Not biased on top or side folding so long as it doesn't eat my shoulder and is reliable. Astheics are whatever, more for tactical purposes. Another thought is the gen 3 knox recoil stock, I've heard bad about both the first and second generations and am curious if anyone has experience with the 3rd. Thanks for all responses.

Take a look at the Mesa Tactical stuff. They offer a shock absorbing setup that works well.

I love my top folding stock

Glilon, I just purchased a large amount of mesa items now including the telescoping stock adapter. Ive been wanting mesa accessories badly and my local herb bauers is closing, walked out eith the adapter, quick sling mount, f93 stock and ergo grip for 98$ so I can't beat That!

Lower lover that stock is my ideal choice but 200%+ and no recoil pad sounds brutal

Yeah the price sucks for sure, the recoil is better than I expected tho, haven't been sore and shot plenty of 3" out of it

Same experience here...installed a used Remington folder I found on arfcom on an 870 PM, also found on arf...ex-Utah HP gun. Basic recoil pads are available in the shotgun accessories section there.

All that said, recoil is not a major issue...you're not gonna' end up using the gun for 4 rounds of skeet or trap.

I have the Choate top folder on mine - works good although I can't get a cheek weld on it, the stock arm curves too low for that.
