Decent quality...if it had fit.
Material-wise, it's not bad. I read the other reviews about ill fit and dismissed them, thinking "How bad can it really be?". Well, it's hot garbage fitment-wise...didn't come close to fitting either of my Winchesters. Heed my warning! Buy something else if you want something that will actually fit your shotgun.
Tough Fit
Ordered it for Winchester 1300. Everything went well with this process, arrived well packaged, and is a good quality product, but for my experience it did no fit. I had to do extensive grinding on both ends to make it fit. Works well now.
quality material
Got this in the full stock kit, and had to gripe about it. quality material used and a nice finished product, but the fitment is horrible. the nut that holds it on to the slide still hangs out of the forend about 1/2 way and looks terrible when installed. the nut now comes VERY close to the barel ring.
