Big upgrade - Hogue Overmold Shotgun Stock 870 Remington Combination Kit 08712

This is a big upgrade over my stock plastic forend and stock that came on my marine magnum. The forend is slightly longer than my old one. But still short enough if I want to use a side saddle. Super grippy and wide for my large hands. The stock is way more comfortable and makes shooting and holding the shotgun much easier. Doesn't want to slide out of my hand like the original one did. Also seems to tame recoil better. Might be due to the combination of the stocks plastic being thicker and heavier as well as having a more solid grip to keep the shotgun from moving around when firing. There seemed to be less recoil using this stock with standard loads compared to using my old stock with reduced recoil loads. Also the price for this combo can not be beat.
Only reason I took off one star is that the forend has a loose fit on the front tube no matter how much I tightened the forend nut.
