The SA-20 is a Mossberg International production from Turkey; just picked one up for a nice price; looking to replace the straight composite stock with a tactical pistol grip stock, preferably extendable like a 4-6 position. I'm currently not finding a thing out there. Help anyone?
 
I'd call Mossberg customer service to see if there are any other shotguns that stocks will interchange with. You may also want to visit a gunsmith and have him look at the receiver tang to determine if something else will fit. Failing all of that, the SA-20 is offered with a fixed stock with pistol grip, so maybe Mossberg will sell you one of those stocks.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along shortly and give you a more definitive answer.
 
I wouldn't put a pistol grip stock on a shotgun with a top tang safety, if that particular model has a tang safety. It's far too inconvenient to reach the safety to make up for any theoretical advantage a pistol grip gives, IMHO.
 
I have an sa-20 twenty as well. Mine is a bantam model an I wanted a full sized stock so I called mossberg. They told me they don't have any parts for the sa-20. So weatherby has pretty much the same gun an the stock is the same that is what I used, you might have better luck searching for a weatherby tactical stock then mossberg.
 
Tactical pistol grip stock on shotgun is worth warm pitcher of spit. Except for being easier to be disarmed from ones gun (really BAD THING) it serves no useful purpose.

That's your opinion not proven facts.

Many thanks for elevating the tone of the discussion here so much. It adds so much class to the place...
 
Folks, the OP's sig line indicates he flies the UH-60 Blackhawk. As a helicopter pilot in the US Army he's undoubtedly familiar with the M4 carbine. I'm guessing he wants his shotgun stock to adjust for various clothing (maybe even IBA), and to shoulder like the M4 Uncle Sam has given him plenty of training and trigger time on. It may not be conventional shotgun wisdom, but his desired stock makes sense given his profession.

ArmyAviator, if you would, check your SA-20 for the manufacturer's stamp and let us know what company in Turkey makes the shotgun. With that info we can better help you find a stock like you want, or as close to it as is available.
 
The problem may be mechanical in nature. It's a semiauto shotgun, and most semiauto designs require a bolt return spring in a tube that extends part or most of the length of the stock. I'm not familiar with this particular design, and that may not be the case here, but it may be a factor in the availability of a multiposition AR type stock, even though there is a pistol grip fixed length stock available for it.

And I still don't know where the safety is, even after watching a video from a proud new owner of one of them... www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAuE1ujXu9Y

ETA - OK, so I was distracted. It has a crossbolt safety behind the trigger... which means a pistol grip stock won't interfere with access to the safety on this one.
 
Late reply to all, but very thankful for all, nonetheless. I will get the Turkey-based company who made this thing and reply...maybe they can indeed help. To date, I've shot a variety of rounds thru it; a really sweet shotgun. To the banter about pistol grips....it is indeed my personal preference for pistol grips, born of many a day with an AR-15 kinda thing. Even my deer rifle is a REM 700 in .30-06 dropped into a BlackHawk Axiom stock.

Mr. Fuller...great advice on areas to research the feasability of this; much thanks; and yup, no tang safety on this mossberg (variant).

With gentlemanly intent to PabloJ who provided " Tactical pistol grip stock on shotgun is worth warm pitcher of spit. Except for being easier to be disarmed from ones gun (really BAD THING) it serves no useful purpose."....please consider my opposing position, as I've considered yours. I do fly BlackHawks...but I have commanded US Special Forces, in combat, as recently as 2011; consider that I might know the basics of this matter. Moreover, I assert that your assertion about a pistol grip being easier to disarm to be rank, gross conjecture and born of zero living color experience...and to further assert that the grip provides no use purpose....man, I can't even help you when you're that far out.

I'll reply with the company when I can get back home.
 
Short of finding a 6 position stock, I just added a slip on stock pad to gain an additional 1 inch of LOP. Seems the stocks are made to be used with tactical vests, which I do not use. This is a Turkey made Weatherby.

Indeed it does. People should be able to do what they want with their guns without people trying to dictate to them what they can and can't do.

The Turkey-based manufacturer is Kayhan Armsan.

Well, Armsan does make a multi-position collapsible stock for the 12 gauge semi-auto model - http://www.armsan.com/products/rs---a2-telescopic-stock/101/armsan.html.

I'm fairly certain, but not 100% certain, that Tri-Star Arms shotguns are made by Armsan. If so, they're likely the largest Armsan importer in the US. I'd try contacting Tri-Star and seeing what they can tell you. If they don't import Armsan they can probably tell you who does. http://www.tristararms.com/firearms-hunting-products.php
