HOGUE - OVERMOLDED SHOTGUN BUTTSTOCKS

Although it says it's for 12ga only, this stock fit my daughter's 20ga 500 just perfect (my daughter outgrew the "bantam" stock on her gun). The Hogue website's "knowledge base" said that this buttstock was interchangable between 12 thru .410, so I took a shot... no other synthetic stock maker claimed their product fit a 20ga. Hogue's fore-ends, however, fit 12ga ONLY. If you're looking for a nice lightweight & tough as nails buttstock for a 20ga 500, this is it. Easy installation, perfect fit.

Not hard to install. But didn't have bolt which would be helpful. looks good on gun.

For the price point you can't beat it. The overmolded grip at the pistol grip of the stock feels good as well as the overall LOP. Installation was quick and easy but be aware it does not come with a stock bolt. However the mossberg OEM stock bolt worked just fine. Make sure you have a long flat head screw driver for installation. Also use the bolt washer that comes with the stock as the Mossberg factory washer is to small. Some things I did not like. Compared to the factory stock ( I replaced the short LOP one it came with), this one seemed as though it was thinner walled and not as rigid. Still solid but I would have liked it heavier. Also the stock did not fit tight against the receiver. This is a personal preference, because although its on there solid and isn't moving anywhere, there is an ever so slight gap. Last, the buttpad is soft but I don't feel it will hold up to serious use. I guess time will tell. Overall happy with the purchase and a nice match with the Hogue forend.

I bought this one and was deeply disapointed. It does not include a mounting screw and standard one does not work. I have a cruiser model with a pistol grip that has a short screw that could not come even close to what this stock requires for installation. There is no replacement screw included in the package, just a useless washer that does not fit anything. For comparision I also purchased a collapsable stock from blackhawk and it did have a replacement screw provided of the right size. Also keep in mind that this stock needs a very long (at least foot long) alen wrench. I bet most of people do not have it in household. Again hague did not provide it, but blackhawk did (unfortunatly not long enough to work with this stock). Instruction is poorly written with some orphographic typos. For example in one place bolt is called bolD. It does not metter but shows attention to the details. This product is made in Mexico not in United States. Overall, I do not know what to do with this item. May be send it back to brownels or just look somewhere for a long screw and try to fix it in place as returns can be a hassle.
