Folding Stock Question

[the iron horse]

I have a 12 ga. pistol grip Mosseberg.

Any suggestions for a good folding stock?


Thanks

To be honest I am not sure I can be of much help but thought I might comment anyway.

I had a S&W 3000 police gun that had a side folding stock perhaps made by Butler Creek. Certainly very simular to their folders at any rate. I found this style to be difficult to shoot and hard on the cheek under recoil of the 12 ga. magnum ammo.

I can't think of a good folding stock but haven't tried the top folders yet. I just put a callapsable stock on a 20 ga of mine, but have not had a chance to shoot it yet.

IMHO I would check out Mesa's attachments for the mossberg. These attachments allow you to mount a pistol grip and an AR style stock. It really beats a PGO type setup.

Butler Creek folders are acceptable, Ace folding stocks are pretty good, although I'm not sure if they're made anymore.

Mesa IS Good stuff! Want a side swinger with a decent pad then Choates are strong and lock tight!

I second the Choate recommendation. It is an over-folder, but it locks solid. The pistol grip also allows you to use it from the hip.

I bought a used Wingmaster from a bush pilot in Alaska that kept it strapped behind the seat. It had that folding stock. It looked pretty cool, but after a couple of boxes of shells, I put a good walnut stock on it. A fixed wood stock is much more pleasant to shoot!!

I like the Knoxx/Blackhawk Cop Stock, which is now called something else.
