870 pistol grip

[Flowmini98]

Im thinking of putting a pistol grip and adjustable buttstock on my 18" 870. I didnt want to at first but I decided to buy another shotgun (26") for bird hunting and clay shooting.
What the legality of a pistol gripped adjustable stock shotgun? does it need any other type of added saftey crap like an AR does? Also what brand is the best choice for this modification?

Putting a pistol grip AND adjustable stock on a semi-auto shotgun would make it an assault weapon. If the shotgun is pump, have at it. I don't think you'll have any issue with length requirements. Remington 870's and Mossberg have a lot if aftermarket parts available. Try a shock absorbing stock to reduce the kick.

An 870 is a pump shotgun...no legal worries. You can do whatever you want to it, short of chopping the barrel.

Check out the Knox stocks, they are awesome.

Yep Knoxx is good stuff.

Duh! Brain fart! Didn't even think about the fact that its a pump!

Just a note about the Blackhawk Knoxx stocks... Yes, they're great quality, fit great, work great... But they hit you in the face. Or at least I was of the people with that experience.

If I could fit a reasonable pistol grip stock for the 870 without that "cheek slap" problem, I'd buy it.

I see some 870 types at big 5 with the adjustable M4 style stocks and love em. I just think like M4 and AR stocks they are way way over priced. Hence my purcahse of an ATI http://www.atigunstocks.com/traditio...rip-stock.html
