Is 870 20ga/12ga buttstock interchangeable

[tc7458]

I just purchased an 870 Express Magnum 20 ga Receiver only. Are the butt stocks between the 870 20 ga and 12 ga interchangeable? If not, does anyone know where I can find a tactical stock for the 20ga like this?

or perhaps a better question is will this

fit the 870 20 ga?

Current production 20 gauge 870s are built on a smaller frame than the 12 gauge guns. Those guns have serial numbers ending in K (2 3/4" chambers) or U (3" chambers).

Older 20 ga. 870s were made on 12 gauge size frames, those guns have serial numbers ending in X (2 3/4" chambers) or N (3" chambers).

My guess is the stock in question won't fit very well, as I'd guess it's made for a 12 gauge frame. But a call to the manufacturer might help clear that up for you...
