Any guesses on this folding stock?

[Howland937]

Came with a box o' crap I picked up the other day. Feels like cast iron. Any ideas what it might have belonged to?
It has a single screw hole in the recessed area as viewed from the right side directly above the grip.

Well, thats different.....
Definitely not for an AR.
I'm guessing shotgun?

 

[Howland937]

Could be, since it was in the same box with the Mossberg wood. The guy said he thought it was homemade, but I dunno. I wouldn't wanna shoot any shotgun bigger than .410 with that thing in my shoulder.

mossberg 500 or remington 870 would be my first guess.
actually if its heavy it would lessen the felt recoil of a 12 guage

Looks sketchy for sure.
I like mine better.

It's definitely heavy. Probably close to a pound and a half. It just doesn't feel like it would be comfortable with any amount of recoil.

I sort of recall this. Cannot remember the company (can't remember if I like chocolate or strawberry better, either) but the early to middle 1970s come to mind.
The comments regarding comfort are well taken. Of course we we tougher men in those days. Or it may explain my memory...

The biggest selling point of this was compactness, not comfort. As I recall, none of the folding stock shotguns were pleasant to shoot.

I like Sgt. Mike's answer... 500 or 870, with the 500 sounding more correct. I had one of those early stocks for my 870, but it looked better quality. Mossberg always had more of an "economy" component to it...lol (Sorry folks, not trying to start anything, just making an observation)
