Question on Rem 870 & pistol grip install

[advantage1one]

I have a fairly new Remington 870 12 ga. with a straight stock and I'd like to install a pistol grip stock on it. Is this difficult to do? Are there any instructions I can look at to give me the procedure? And can anyone recommend a specific brand...there seems to be so many to choose from... Thanks in advance for any info...

I recently installed a Speedfeed IV-s on my 870. Used phillips screw driver to remove the recoil pad on the old stock. Then used a long handle flat tip screw driver to remove the long screw(?) that holds the stock on the receiver. Reverse the process to install the new stock. I like the IV-s because it has a shorter length of pull. I'm not a small person, but I like a shorter shotgun for HD use.

This 870 has the same stock as mine:

Taking the stock off and putting a new one on is pretty simple as gmcal stated. I had a speed feed on my 870, but now it wears a knoxx stock. They are both worth checking out.

Just received & installed Speedfeed 4-s but now Questions

Hi everyone...it's me again...I received the Speedfeed 4-S stock and like you all said it was no problem at all. However, when I installed the rubber recoil pad that came with it, it was about 1/4" short...the holes lined up OK but at the bottom end (the thinner end) it was short and won't cover the entire butt end. The other question I have is that there is a large opening in the bottom of the pistol grip section - the instructions say something about plugging the hole with a rubber plug (?) but none was included. Any thoughts on this? Thanks once again for your help...your input is invaluable.

Can you take a picture of the recoil pad and post here? Are you sure you have the top and bottom right? I left the bottom of the pistol grip open, no plug came with mine either.

It is pretty easy to do.

Have you resolved the issue? BTW, took my 870 out with the 4s stock and it is great. Feels like it makes the shotgun much faster to handle.

What brand of forend is on that 870?

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess it's this one:

Surefire 618, which is also on my 870. Nice and bright. There is (was?) also the 918 which is brighter.
