Hello Everyone

I have a Mossberg 500, with a 28” barrel . If I were switch the stock to a Ati t3 stock ( with a built in pistol grip)



https://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/CabelasCA/131600-193567?wid=460&hei=460

Are there any cons , if I use this setup for skeet? Anyone try this stock for skeet.

Reason being is I have shoulder problems

Thanks
 
Perhaps later on I may get a semi-auto, but for now I’m going to Advil it out using the pump lol


What would you recommend for different stocks? I’m still new to skeet , and I know wasn’t holding the shotgun properly the first time and. After 100rds of Target load , I looked like I was beaten with a bat around my armpit and upper arm area
 
Sounds to me like the gun does not fit at all. Go to your gun store and try out these pump guns: Nova, 870, PA-08, and an SXP. One will fit better than the others. Sell your Mossberg and buy the model that fits you on the EE. You will be out no more money than if you bought that bastardized stock for a gun that likely doesn't fit to begin with.
 
If you insist on staying with a pump action, find some 3/4 ounce target loads. If you go with another stock, go with a heavier stock, to help reduce recoil, and install a premium recoil pad.
 
Each to their own but pistol grip stocks on shotguns are not generally though to be as good for shooting at moving targets as regular stocks are, maybe that's a misconception though.
Also, I don't know what you have on the gun now for a stock but if you have a wooden stock then that will probably be heavier than the T3 stock and weight soaks up recoil. If you have a plastic stock now then you may be able to add some weight inside of it.

I have shot over the years an 870, Ithaca 37, Benelli Nova, Wincherster Model 12 and a Browning BPS on the skeet field, currently still have a Benelli Nova and a Browning BPS.

What target loads are you using? payload and speed please. No real reason to use anything heavier than 1oz at 1200fps on a skeet field.
 
I use an ati m4 adjustible stock on my mossberg 535 ats for skeet and trap. I have their drop shim as well. Works for me. I won the last trap shooting tournment at my local club with it and for skeet my scores remain the same. For heavier loads it helps soak up recoil thru the hand and wrist. I even shoot low gun with it
 
Thanks for the help I’m running a mossberg 500 with a plastic/ polymer stock it’s hollow on the inside

I’m running 1145fps, 1-1/8 load challenger brand or a Winchester with the same spec

What could I fill the stock with? Sand?

I would recommend dropping down to 1oz loads to start. So far as filling the stock, whatever you use(sand would not be my first choice), make sure it isn't permanent and that you can still remove it to access the stock bolt as they have a habit of loosening with heavy use.

Thank you for the input, I’ll try that. I’ve been searching on the web , I’ll fill the cavity with scrap metal rods packed in rags so they don’t rattle

Thanks you all for the help!!!
 
You may find that the gun handles better with a little ballast in the stock as a lot of plastic stocks make the gun muzzle heavy. The best ballast is lead (for obvious reasons) but make sure it's removable until you find out if you want it as a permanent thing then epoxy it in place as long as the stock bolt is accessible and your certain that it won't need to be taken out in the future.

Thank you

I going to add some bronze weight ( have some ) and stuff it with rags to prevent rattling. I’m gonna try it this weekend, (weather permitting) and see how it goes .


And I’ll provide an update

Thank you again
 
I'll modify that. Get a GOOD semi-auto wood stocked shotgun that will cycle 1 oz. loads. If you're going to shoot skeet, trap, maybe sporting clays you might as well have a nice gun to do it with. It'll be worth most of what you paid for it when you decide to sell it, provided you don't pay through the nose when you buy it.
A quality gun will make the sport more enjoyable.
As an example, the Gun Dealer is currently selling A400 Excels for $1700-$1800.
Used is also a good option, if you can find something decent reasonably priced.
