Should I Sell It Or...

[Glenn B]

...should I put it on my Remington 870 Express with synthetic stock? That is the question of the day.

 

[Glenn B]

And yes, I voted in my own poll!

 

[kev74]

I voted sell it. I like regular shotgun stocks over pistol grips.

Sell sell sell ​

I voted sell it. I like regular shotgun stocks over pistol grips.

Actually, I have the same preference. I sold a shotgun last year for a few reasons, one of them being it had a pistol grip that loved to make my old friend Arthur I. Tis act up. What it did not have though was a bad arse OEM folding stock like this, marked "For Law Enforcement Only". I figure if nothing else, this will make my 870 Express synthetic look cool (and maybe even easy to conceal). I may have to put it on the 870 for at least awhile to play with it. Anyway, I have another older 870 Express that has the regular stock on it that I use for hunting and such. I could use the one with this stock for home defense or just to look tacticool at the range. Did I actually just write that, I truly hate looking the tacticool fool.

There's nothing wrong with having stuff just because you like it. Having it say 'Law Enforcement Only' is good enough reason to keep it!

I've got a Mossberg 500 that I bought used 20 something years ago with a pistol grip on it. The guy I got it from threw in some magnum loads with it. The first time I shot it it split open the web of my hand between my thumb and pointer finger. I've since swapped the pistol grip for a youth stock (compact & handy), but I can't bring myself to get rid of the pistol grip even though I'll probably never use it again.

You might never suffer seller's remorse if you hang onto things like that.

No. But i might be diagnosed as a hoarder.

Sell it, i have a dandy of a shotgun and to be honest i'm not the biggest fan of the pistol grip. I find it limits the many uses a shotgun has. If the standard stock didn't cost so much i'd switch mine.

 

[togmaster]

Do what you want. I'm another vote a standard stock. I've tried a few pistol grips on my 500 but always came back to the standard configuration. It just seems right to me.

 

[Podmonkey]

I apparently am the only person that voted for the third option. But I think you should at least try it. If you don't like it after using it then sell it. Why would you buy something you won't use?

 

[GUNSICK]

I would keep it. Cool as hell factory folder in great shape! I would actually buy another gun to put it on if I had it.

[Mk44]

I also vote to sell it. I prefer the regular stock, just my preference.

 

[carpediem]

I would keep it just for the novelty of it. Maybe even throw it on an old beater.

It is the old beater that I would keep original (except I once refinished the wood on it) and maybe put in on a much newer once as far as my 870s go.

 

[LexLooter]

Im not a fan really

 

[GUNSICK]

How much?

 

[Dr. Evil]

 

[Bananabandit]

Ill take it

 

[Phauxtoe]

my Vote isn't there!

GO to JAIL!

 

[Glenn B]

Go to jail for whst, it is 100% legal.

 

[Bananabandit]

We got a rookie here. Take HIM to jail

 

[Phauxtoe]

It looks SCARY!

 

[Glenn B]

And evil to. Surprisingly though it is still legal in NYS.

 

[Glenn B]

The votes to get rid of it far outweigh the votes to keep it which has convinced me to at least put it on my 870 and try it out. Then I may keep it or sell it depending on if I like it on the gun or not. Of course, selling it would depend on how much I could get for it regardless of any other factor.

Finally got around to trying to put the Remington Police Folding Stock onto my 870 but found out the screw was the wrong size. I could not find any info on Remington's sight as to the proper size. Did find a screw and two washer combo, said to be for it, on Ebay. I ordered that, @ $6.74 shipped. If the right size, the folder goes on my synthetic stocked 870 - at least for awhile. Once I shoot it, I may decide to put the regular stock back on it. If not the right size, then I go through the pain in the butt of going to Homer's Despot to search out the right sized screw/bolt and washers.

 

[Glenn B]

Maybe I should have looked at Homer's first, the bolt sells for about .89 cents there, washers probably around .30 cent apiece.

Sell it and get one of these:
