I removed the wooden stock from my 870 and now I'm installing a synthetic stock. At the base of the receiver (under the wooden stock) there is a silver plate "Stock Bearing Plate" (#59). The synthetic stock won't fit with this plate installed. Am I doing a bad thing if I don't install this plate with the synthetic stock? Is there something I'm missing? Thanks for your time. Gene

I put the stock on with out the plate and it tightened up with no problem. All nice and snug. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. Thanks, Gene |
As long as there is NO play, you're good to go! |
Thanks boss.

I had the same issue. I believe the stock plate was originally designed before synthetic stocks came out. Does anyone have a factory 870 with a synhetic stock that can verify if the stock plate comes with the synthetic stock? I usually buy used and haven't paid attention to it. |
I was pretty sure it was only for the wood stock when I first tried to install the synthetic stock. But since this is my first shotgun, I just wanted to make sure. It's all together and looks great. Now I need a 18" barrel and a mag extension. What is the best set-up / combo for that? 18.5" or 18" and which mag extension? Thanks again guys, Gene |
Hey buddy, remember me? I sold you the synthetic 870 stock. You dont need the plate. In fact my 870 (the one I removed the stock from) dont have the plate. Hope this helps. Take care. |
Yes I do remember you. The black stock looks great on there. Not that the nice new walnut stock was bad, it just wasn't "evil" enough....  I'm glad I found the thread about how to remove the fwd stock before I tried to jam some needle nose pliers in there.
