hey everyone
I was wondering if anyone knew if older remington 870's where ever equipped with a metal buttplate? I have a synthetic stock set on my 870 and it has the usual rubber recoil pad, which I would like to replace with a metal one. Why do this you might ask? Firstly it will shorten the length of pull perfectly and a metal butt plate would slide on clothing better than the rubber one when bringing the gun up, It will also be more deadly if it ever has to be used as an impact weapon. Draw back will probably be an increase in felt recoil.
If I have to I can make one, but I wondered if they where used on older 870's and if so are they are steel or pot metal?
