Why Upgrade to This System?

The Remington 870 is one of the most popular and reliable pump-action shotguns ever produced, but the traditional fixed stock design has limitations. The Hogue Buttstock Adapter Kit brings your 870 into the 21st century by providing adjustable length-of-pull for different shooters or shooting situations, superior recoil management for faster follow-up shots, modern pistol grip ergonomics for enhanced control, modular design allowing easy stock swaps, multiple sling mounting options for tactical applications, and improved comfort during extended shooting sessions. Whether you're setting up a home defense shotgun, competing in 3-Gun matches, or modernizing a duty weapon, this kit delivers transformative improvements.

Installation Overview

Installing the Hogue Buttstock Adapter Kit is straightforward and requires only basic tools. First, remove the factory stock by unscrewing the stock bolt from the receiver. Remove the factory trigger group and set aside. Install the buttstock adapter onto the receiver using the provided hardware, ensuring proper alignment with the mounting holes. Reinstall the trigger group. Attach the Tamer pistol grip to the adapter using the included grip screw. Slide the buffer tube into the adapter and secure with the castle nut, ensuring proper threading and tightness. Install the collapsible buttstock onto the buffer tube and secure the friction lock. Verify all components are properly tightened and the stock collapses and extends smoothly. Total installation time is approximately 30-45 minutes for first-time installers. Detailed step-by-step instructions are included with the kit.

Ideal For

This buttstock adapter kit is perfect for home defense shotgun owners seeking adjustable length-of-pull and improved ergonomics, 3-Gun and multigun competitors who need rapid transitions and recoil management, law enforcement officers modernizing duty shotguns for vehicle deployment and tactical operations, recreational shooters who want to customize their 870 with modern furniture, firearms enthusiasts building a tactical shotgun platform, and anyone seeking to improve the versatility and performance of their Remington 870. The kit is especially beneficial for households with multiple shooters of different sizes, as the adjustable stock accommodates everyone from youth to large-framed adults instantly.

Performance Benefits

Shooters who upgrade to the Hogue Buttstock Adapter Kit consistently report multiple improvements including dramatically reduced felt recoil from the combination of Tamer grip and recoil-absorbing butt pad, faster target transitions and follow-up shots due to improved control, better fit for shooters of all sizes with adjustable length-of-pull, enhanced weapon retention and control during pump manipulation, improved comfort during extended shooting sessions, easier storage and transport with collapsed stock, better compatibility with modern tactical gear and body armor, and increased confidence in defensive scenarios. The pistol grip configuration also provides superior control during weak-hand shooting and reduces the likelihood of short-stroking the action during high-stress situations.

Tamer Pistol Grip Features

The included Hogue Tamer pistol grip is not just any AR-15 grip adapted for shotgun use—it's specifically designed to handle the recoil impulse of 12-gauge shotguns. The grip features Hogue's proprietary OverMolded rubber construction that provides firm yet comfortable control, proportioned finger grooves that naturally position your hand for optimal trigger reach and control, Cobblestone texture that maintains grip security in wet, cold, or sweaty conditions, ambidextrous palm swells for comfortable use by any shooter, and a beavertail design that protects your hand from slide bite. The rubber material is impervious to gun oils, solvents, and cleaning chemicals, ensuring long-term durability.

Collapsible Buttstock Details

The Hogue OverMolded collapsible stock included in this kit rivals or exceeds the quality of dedicated AR-15 stocks. Key features include an advanced recoil-absorbing butt pad engineered specifically for shotgun recoil impulses, OverMolded rubber cheek weld area for comfort during extended shooting, skeletonized reinforced polymer construction that's lightweight yet incredibly strong, anti-rattle design that eliminates annoying movement between positions, beard-safe latch that won't catch facial hair, polymer end cap for snag-free shouldering from concealment or gear, six adjustment positions providing approximately 3.5 inches of length-of-pull adjustment, and QD sling swivel sockets plus traditional sling loop mounting options. The stock is designed for serious use and will withstand the punishment of competition, duty, or defensive training.

Tactical Applications

This conversion kit is particularly valuable for tactical applications where the Remington 870 serves as a primary or backup weapon system. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the ability to quickly adjust stock length when transitioning between officers of different sizes during shift changes, the collapsed stock configuration for storage in vehicle gun racks or lockers, improved control during building entries and confined space operations, better weapon retention during physical encounters, and compatibility with body armor and load-bearing equipment. Military and security professionals benefit from similar advantages plus the ability to mount tactical slings using multiple attachment points.

Competition Advantages

3-Gun competitors and multigun shooters will find significant advantages with this kit. The pistol grip configuration enables faster transitions between shotgun, rifle, and pistol, the collapsible stock allows instant adjustment for different shooting positions or stages, reduced felt recoil enables faster follow-up shots on multiple targets, the modern ergonomics feel familiar to shooters accustomed to AR-15 platforms, improved weapon manipulation during pump strokes under stress, and better balance for quick target engagement. Many top competitors have discovered that modernizing their 870 with quality components like this Hogue kit provides a competitive edge without requiring a complete shotgun replacement.

Home Defense Optimization

For home defense applications, this kit offers distinct advantages. The adjustable stock allows multiple household members to achieve proper fit instantly, the collapsible design reduces overall length for navigation in tight spaces like hallways and doorways, the pistol grip provides superior weapon retention if a confrontation occurs, improved recoil control enables faster follow-up shots if needed, the modern configuration is more intuitive for shooters trained on AR-15 platforms, and multiple sling mounting options allow hands-free carry when needed. The shorter collapsed length also makes the shotgun easier to store securely in a quick-access safe or retention system.

Material Science and Durability

Hogue engineers selected materials specifically for long-term durability under harsh conditions. The fiber-reinforced polymer adapter is significantly stronger than standard plastics, resisting impact damage, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure. The OverMolded rubber on the grip and stock won't become brittle in cold weather, sticky in heat, or degrade when exposed to gun solvents, lubricants, or cleaning products. The skeletonized polymer stock structure provides maximum strength-to-weight ratio. All metal components are corrosion-resistant. This kit is built to last for tens of thousands of rounds and years of hard use.

Maintenance and Care

Clean the OverMolded rubber surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed—avoid harsh solvents on rubber components. The fiber-reinforced polymer adapter can be cleaned with standard gun cleaning products. Lubricate the buffer tube lightly where the stock slides to ensure smooth operation. Check the castle nut tension periodically to ensure the buffer tube remains secure. With basic care, this kit will provide decades of reliable service.

Legal Considerations

Before installing this kit, ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local laws regarding shotgun modifications. Some jurisdictions have restrictions on pistol grip shotguns, collapsible stocks, or overall firearm length.

Always verify that your modified shotgun meets the minimum overall length requirements (typically 26 inches) and barrel length requirements (typically 18 inches for shotguns) mandated by the National Firearms Act.
