Edward Hooper's Review of ProMag Mossberg International 702 Plinkster Tactical Folding Stock
The 715T is the same basic internals as a 702 Plinkster. This Promag Stock is a great fit and a better Stock than the cheap Plastic ATI Clamshell the 715T comes in.
For those looking to upgrade to this stock let me share some advice. You will need a longer front screw for the front mount, It is a metric m5 x.80 and needs to be about 1.25 inches long. I used a matching washer and lock washer here as well. You need to remove the folding stock from the grip by removing the bolt in the handgrip.
With the folding stock removed the 715T will tightly drop into the open slot. There is an open space just in front of the rear bolt hole in the handgrip between the stock and the receiver itself. You need to insert something as a spacer to fill that space. I used two 1/4 x 20 washers stacked to fill that void. If you don't use a spacer, when you fully tighten the rear bolt it will close the gap and raise the barrel out of the formed grooves. Not only does this look terrible but will cause your aim to be high.
On the inside of the extended lip of the folding stock you may have to file down the middle support ridge of the the extended lip to allow the stock to sit down fully on the top of the rear portion of the receiver. I took down about 1/8 inch following the ridge's original curve.
When ready to secure everything in place, Start the front screw and tighten to snug to seat the barrel in the barrel grooves of the fore end. Next add your rear spacers then slip in the folding stock. Insert the grip bolt and slowly tighten watching for the receiver to firmly seat against the spacer. I stopped at snug then tightened the front screw fully and finally the last turn on the rear bolt. My 715T now set firmly and completely into this Promag stock and looked clean and smooth. I then installed a 4-7 x 20 Scope using the Dovetail Mount on the receiver since the 715T does not have any native sight mounts when inside the ATI Clamshell.
It takes a little tuning and fitting and taking your time to think through it but the mounting is great and the rifle is very nice now. Good luck to you all, This stock is well worth it!!
