870 furniture question

[Jahred.F]

I am finding conflicting information, so I'll ask.

Will the factory furniture from a 870 Supermag fit on a standard 870 (or a DA grizzly in my case)?.

We are talking 12ga right?

Furniture from an 870 Supermag will fit a standard 12ga 870 .... I exchanged stocks in the past .... no problem.

20ga is another story I believe ...

870 12g furniture and parts will fit on a DA grizzly, with the exception of Rem barrels in some cases. It all depends on the grizzly ejector to barrel fit, another thing to look for is the forend tube/action bars. The tube the forend slides onto is a c-hair big and the forearm need some sanding or filing, if you don’t it will go on tight and likely never come off in one piece. Although I swapped a hardwood 870 furniture set onto my wife’s 12.5” grizzly this year and it was a perfect fit, sometimes they are bang on.

With regards to barrels fitting, if they fit and lock up sometimes they don’t index properly. The sight bead or vent rib might be rotated a few degrees to one side, jus the way it goes with them, both of ours fit Rem barrels and index fine. We got lucky.

Synthetic or wooden mounting parts are called stocks. There are various grips that may be part of the butt stock, or separate. You may even refer to the fore stock, or forend.

The term 'furniture' hearkens back to the era when the lock(s) and barrel(s) were attached by various means to the stock. Furniture means the visible small metal parts, such as the trigger guard, barrel bands, escutcheons, top lever, safety tab, forend release lever, etc. Typically, these were made of steel or brass.

The fore end of the Grizz is a bit larger than an 870, so as noted it will need fitting, or, if you want, you can replace the 'pump' with a Remington one. Also the stock may have a bit of a bump where it bolts to the receiver. Nothing that would affect function, just something that bugs some folks.

^the only issue I've seen personally. I fit a HOGUE/870 forend onto my DA Grizzly...and it took some fitting. Would have been allot easier if I'd just known about the issue before starting. I thought I was doing something wrong. lol Not a huge deal.

PS~I knew what you meant by "furniture".

I know this and imagine a lot of others do as well. You would think wood = furniture but no, that's the little metal bits. I know what you're asking, OP, but can't claim expertise in swapping in a donor stock.
Didn't know that harkening back and hearkening back were synonyms but thought one was correct and the other not. Not so apparently. And a hunting term.
