Installing synthetic stock on Rem 870

Sport · March 16, 2000, 05:25 PM

I purchased a Remington brand synthetic
stock for my Wingmaster 870. No bolt or
other hardware came with it.

First thing I noticed was the inside
hole is significantly different than
that on the wooden stock. It's more
funnel shaped.

The problem is, the regular bolt was
clearly not designed for the synthetic
stock.

I "rigged" it to work by using washers
to "fill the funnel", but it's a
temporary solution at best.

Have you had a similar problem?
How did you solve it?

Thanks,

Sport

You need the bolt made for synthetic stocks. Remington part #97022, you can get it from Brownells, their part #767-970-220. $4.20.
