The Remington website lists (http://www.remington.com/accessories/factory_parts/stocks.htm) a "new for 2005" Monte Carlo-style stock for the 870 that comes with an R3 recoil pad preinstalled.

I am considering purchasing a new 870 Turkey Express (21" barrel, camo Skyline stock, yadda yadda) and am wondering if it will come with the new stock.

How would I find out this information?

Remington has a GOOD online question system. Ask them.
