Franken-rem. Grizzly barrel, bolt assembly, trigger group and mag spring riding in a REM 870 receiver. REM mag cap.
Vice versa; the grizzly's receiver was TOO TIGHT to accept the 870 MM barrel. Due to the nickel plating, I was not about to "force the issue." The griz barrel slides right into the 870 receiver. I also noted that the mag cap was also too tight, again, due to the nickel finish, I didn't force it on. The barrel, trigger group and bolt assembly fit not problem and everything cycled and dry fired fine. If I had an "normal" 870, I may have been more "assertive" in my fitting, but it seems the griz receiver is machined pretty tight. Even the barrel, which fits nicely into the 870MM receiver, is a tight fit into the griz receiver. Interesting.

Nine,
My 18" Police barrel won't fit into the Grizzly recevier either so I don't think it is the nickle teflon plating, the dimensions must be slightly tighter. Like you I didn't really try to force the issue. I did some swapping of trigger groups and bolts between a Wingmaster/Police, Express and the Dominion as well and all seemed to function fine with dummies.
Also my grizzly barrel indexes fine on the Wingmaster/Police.
Cheers
 
I tryed 3 Remington barrels into the Grizzily , two fit and one started to fit but the slot on the barrel where the ejector on the frame ,slide together was not right for this barrel. A little filing would have made it fit. The tolerances over the years of production must vary.
 
I just ordered a 12" LOP hogue overmolded stock set. I was initially going to order in OD green; the rep quickly checked on that special order, and discovered it would be a $85 fee to have the OD stock shortened and custom fitted with a recoil pad. (the stock itself is $89) "I don't need it in OD that bad, I'll take a black one." :D

Hopefully there's still a few of these around next time I'm in the market for a new shotgun. I wouldn't mind picking one up for myself.

Currently 32.5" The Hogue stock should drop that to about 30.75"

I ordered the stock directly from Hogue... I think they had a couple. :p

I've ordered from them in the past, snag free. They ship USPS to canada.

i dunno... i've never liked that knoxx stock. it just doesn't flow.

and the gap between the pistol grip and the trigger guard looks weird.

imho.
