Walnut stock for mossberg 500 - Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks American Plainsman Mossberg 500 12 Gauge Stock

First of all, I really like this stock. The finish is flawless and the color is perfect. I actually paired this stock with a Woox forend and the two go together very well. The color is almost an exact match in this case. I liked a more traditional look than the Woox stock and it is quite a bit less expensive. I had to make a few small adjustments with a file and sanding block for a good fit and the stock Mossberg mounting bolt was too short. I trip to Home Depot and a new bolt fixed that problem (the bolt access hole could have been a little deeper, but I was not taking a drill bit to my new stock!). I bolted everything up and I’m super happy with the result. If I had to be a little critical with the product, I would say that the junction where the stock contacts the receiver could have a slightly tighter transitional profile and tighter tolerances. When you have the original polymer stock with a perfect match, you could see the differences. But with a wooden stock, right out of the box, I’s say that this is an awesome alternative to plastic.
