12.5" Grizzly with a Hogue 12" LOP stock

[randyhub]

Just installed a 12" long rubber stock on my Grizzly (camp/backpack shotty) and I really like the feel VERY grippy!!!

I already have a metal forend grip installed if I did not I would have installed the excellent grippy Hogue forend as well.

Only thing is I need to remove the stock again and take out the metal spacer that goes inside the receiver grip/screw area.

All in all the Hogue upgrade makes a great mod.

How is the cheek weld and how far from the reciever is your face? OAL?

if no ones told you,Don't rap your thumb around the stock,lay it along your hand,less chance of punching yourself in the face.

Thanks guys yeah already whacked my nose with the other chopped down stock!!

It is about 33" OAL the stock is shorter than a regular one really shoulders nicer now.

I've got a short Hogue on my 870, I'd actually prefer about a 13-13.25" LOP shouldering-wise, but with my short reach and short LE style forend I figure I don't need to be any further away from the pump throw than I am now.

I'm considering getting a Mesa Urbino stock, IMO a pistol grip makes more sense than conventional stock once you get below a certain length thanks to thumb/hand interference issues, I've never hit myself with my thumb but I still don't like my hand sitting right in front of my face as it does with the short Hogue.

I found a pistol grip actually transfers more of the recoil into my hand just sold a pistol grip side folder.

The trick is to pull it rearwards into your shoulder.

Hold the shotgun squared up (latest tactical approved method) and thumb is not an issue with the short stocks. Blade away (holding it like a rifle with left shoulder forward/right shoulder rearward) and you will have an issue with your thumb. YMMV

My arms are so short that I find even the 12" Hogue uncomfortably long when squared up.

Also even if that weren't the case I don't think I could get used to the squared up stance, and I don't wear body armor, which seems to be most of the reasoning behind squaring up in the first place.
