A comment about the standard Remington folding metal stock for 870 models... Anyone that I knew in police service down here in paradise (south Florida 1973-1995 -during the height of the party... ) rarely ever fired a folding stock model more than once or twice.. You could tell at the range which guys had used them with the folding stock extended, since most of them needed a bandaid or two in the facial area afterwards. Most of us far preferred the standard old wooden stock models, period. That's what I carried to any hot calls during my career. Those old folding stock models can be found today fairly regularly at auctions (not the gun so much as just the stock....). That basic riot configured wooden stock model would still be my choice for close quarters work since they're a one shot fight ender...
