870 14 inch folding stock options to maintain 26 inch OAL

[driller212]

Hey folks,

I'm picking up a 14" 870 clone this evening and mulling over stock options for it to minimize it's footprint while travelling and hiking.

Anyone know of options that maintain a 26" oal?

Raptor pistol grip will do it (just) or go with an AR type collapsible stock. They seem to be the best option for actual useability

You could try and find a +1.5 or so round mag extension and run a folder. It would stick out past the muzzle a bit but it would work.

I wonder if the old grizzly foldy stock would work?

Even with a traditional butt stock an 870 with a 14” barrel doesn’t feel long at all.

I have a 14" clone with a Gen 2 Knoxx Breacher Grip. It's 26.75" long and is actually not too bad to fire. I have gone as high as 3" buck of different kinds. Slugs might be a bit much if you want to fire several off, I don't really have plans to test them out.

I have a birdshead on my 14" but here's a thread with some photos and discussion on various compatible barrel lengths and stocks:

Raptor grip would make it the most compact. I have shot clays with one. Tier One is a couple raptor grips in stock.

Knoxx folding stock I believe keeps it over 26"

My 14" doesn't feel that long too me either but I'm 6'6" so that could be part of the reason. Just measured it for a laugh and was 34" oal.

Yea I might try that. I wonder about long term reliability with that strange recoil reduction system.

It is more of a recoil enhancement system in my opinion.

Bashaw Sports has the Sage stocks for 870.

Strange? It's just a spring...

anyone have experience with the choate side folders, or dominion arms side folders?

Birdshead grip is by far the most comfortable and compact. Get yourself a raptor grip from Aztenk armory or buy a wood one from Thailand on ebay

I got one of the SAGE EBR collapsible stocks. It's built like a tank, looks great, and I believe you could get away with a 11.5" barrel if you could find one. I picked up a 12.5" but I still need a matching mag tube. It was originally one of the serbu shorties. Was very tempted to leave the 6.5" barrel on it and register it as restricted, but it will actually make a nice bush gun at 12.5 or 11.5 if I can find.

You'd be better off saving the 12.5" barrel for another project and installing a 14" LOP stock and re-register the Super Shorty as nonrestricted, they come out to just over 26" OAL.
