Magpul 870 FDE SGA Furniture Review
Well, I've always thought the Magpul 870 stocks were ugly (the forends look good IMO...) but the flat dark earth version is a little more aesthetically pleasing than the rest; at least to me. Here's a run down of the pros and cons for the stock and forend: Stock Pros: -12.5''-14.5'' adjustable LOP -Very easy to install -I find the grip angle very ergonomic -The fit with the receiver is great -The grip area allows for better retention in the event of a gun grab attempt -Adjustable cheek risers for use with optics availible -A couple different options to attach slings -Standard 870 recoil pads can be used with the stock (requires an additional Magpul adaptor) Cons: -Cost (anywhere from $85-100) -It's ugly looking -Only available for Remington 870s at the moment; Magpul says the Mossberg versions are in the works Forend Pros: -Cost (between $25-35 most places) -Ease of installation -Modularity (slots accept standard Magpul rails and accessories) -Very solid fit; no wobble like some forends -The built in handstop really helps you get a positive grip to run the gun hard even with sweaty hands -Looks good Cons: -Creates wear marks on the barrel/mag tube (doesn't bother me but it may bother some) Here's a video of me shooting my 870P with the SGA furniture and discussing some of the pros and cons of the setup: MAGPUL 870 FDE SGA ACCESSORIES HD VIDEO REVIEW LINK

Thanks for posting this.
Not my personal choice, but many of us can benefit from the short LOP and ergos. BTW, nice ride, too.... |

While I am not looking for a shotgun stock at the moment that magpul stock looks interesting.
I have tried pistol gripped stocks on the 870 and not liked them as much as a regular stock. May have to give it a try or find a gun with one on it to try out. The ease of LOP adjustment is long overdue. |
