Title: Remington 870 stock parts
Post by: OSCAR1987 on March 02, 2011, 08:20:18 PM: Hey guys
I am thinking about swapping my stock and forend on my synthetic black for camo ones for my 870 express. Have you got any advise for me? Is there a better way to get my trusty old gun camo'd?

Also thinking about getting a compstock or other recoil reducing system for my other 870 this is a supermag that kicks the snot outta me. :yike:

any help would be appreciated :tup:

thanks -Drew

The 870 I want to camo is a pawn shop special...all black synthetic. The self camo sounds interesting. You gonna try it?
I want to see how yours turns out, maybe I will try it, with your lessons learned...
