Adaptive Tactical AT02000 EX M4 Stock & Forend, Remington 870 12GA

Description

The Adaptive Tactical AT02000 EX Performance kit takes a stock Remington 870 12 gauge and turns it into something that fits you and carries the gear you want. You get a matched M4-style buttstock and forend built from high-impact polymer, so the whole setup looks like it came that way from the factory. The stock rides on a rapid-adjust lever that lets you dial length-of-pull on the fly, which comes in handy whether you're running heavy layers in the cold or handing the gun off to someone with a shorter reach.

Dialing In Fit With the EX Performance Stock

The adjustable design gives you real range to work with, roughly 11.5 inches at the shortest and 15 inches fully extended with the recoil pad on. That non-slip vented rubber pad soaks up a good chunk of 12 gauge kick and keeps the gun planted in your shoulder pocket instead of sliding around. Adaptive built in an oversized adjustment pin that holds its setting and doesn't rattle loose, plus both a QD swivel socket and a molded-in standard sling loop so you can hang it however you carry.

Stashing Accessories on the EX Forend

The forend is where this kit earns its keep for a lot of folks. There's a 2-inch Picatinny rail hidden under the nose cap, so you keep clean lines until you need it, then pull the cap and bolt on a weapon light or laser. The textured grip surface gives you a solid hold when pumping, wet hands or not.

Getting the AT02000 Kit on Your 870

This is a do-it-yourself upgrade, and most people knock it out at the kitchen table in well under an hour. Owners consistently report a clean fit on the 870 with no fitting or filing needed. You'll want a socket wrench with a longer extension to reach the bolt that seats the stock, since that isn't included in the box. Once it's on, you've got a shotgun that fits you better, kicks less, and is ready for whatever accessories you throw at it.
