Collapsible stock adapter for 870 pattern shotguns?

[DustyGmt]

I'm looking to add a collapsible stock to my NEF 870 pattern shotgun but I'm looking at them online and they seem very overpriced for anything that looks decent, and the stuff that looks reasonably priced is just ugly and cheap looking to me. I have an AR buffer tube, Castle Nut and M4 collapsible stock, I'm wondering if there is just a Pistol grip out there that will accept a mil spec buffer tube because all I really need is the grip. I'd actually prefer to go this route because it's a stock I'm very familiar with and is everything I want, and nothing I don't.

So basically just a pistol grip with a back threaded for a buffer tube? Do they make one?

Maybe something like this? https://www.riflestock.com/store/pr...ck-remington-lightweight-870-and-pump-rifles/

ETA: That says it's for an 870, so I think a phone call to see if it will fit an "870 pattern" shotgun would probably be wise, for whatever that's worth.

It's everything you want until you fire that 870 clone with buck or slugs. just sayin', from experience.
The only way I'd have anything but a solid stock on a shotgun (beside a Tac-14) is the factory Remington fold-over, and that one hurts, too.

I have something like this on one of mine. You would still need to add the tube, stock and grip. Works ok and not to expensive.

That is exactly what I want, but for an 870 (pattern). The one linked is for a mossy

You're probably right but I might just go for it anyway. I typically like traditional vs tactical but in this case I'm looking for adjustable LOP

I did that exactly ONCE with the factory metal fold-over 870 stock extended. Never again.

The Marquis de Sade clearly had a hand in that stock design.

OP, whatever you choose, try to avoid the all metal folders.

Stay safe.

I have one Remington 870 with an M4 style collapsable style stock on it. Our need is my 5'-2" wife needs a shorter stock than I do for a critter gun out in the arena. We have only fired 2-3/4" shot shells in the gun as a coyote is about the largest animal we'd encounter. The gun feels the same under recoil as an 870 with a fixed factory stock.

Thanks for the replies guys. I set it up like this: Now it is lighter, adjustable and kind of cool looking. Like a combat shotgun. I wouldn't hesitate to trust this gun even though it's a chinese. I would love to find a nice Remington 870 again at some point to replace the one I had but for now, for a HD gun, this is how I want it set up. The only thing I didn't like about the adapter is that I thought it came with, or should have came with a set screw right behind the pistol grip to go up against the buffer tube to push into the lil groove in the middle of the threaded portion of the tube to keep it from possibly turning. I don't think it will turn but if it does I'll just bore out a lil recessed hole and drive a self tapper up into the tube to hold it in place.....

2 3/4 buck or slugs for coyote? You wouldn't use pigeon shot or target loads on yotes, would ya?

I use copper plated lead BB loads. I bought several boxes of them 20+ years ago and several boxes worth in 10 gauge also. Out to about 65-70 yards it will drop a 'yote. They make Hevi shot coyote loads that are a wee bit expensive, but are said to do the job.

Most of the critters we encounter are smaller and #6 shot is more than adequate for the job. The horses do a pretty good job of keeping the coyotes away but if they come close, a load of #6 will put the hurt on them where they will stay away from the arena. The few that might come close in are too skittish to stick around and if they are more than 15 or 20 yards away there is no need to shoot at them. We do not hunt coyotes on our farm, they come in too few and far between.

Like I said, the horses' hooves are a pretty good deterrent for the coyotes to stay away.
