Nice... let me know what you think!

 

I am waiting to see how it looks on the SPX. I have never been a fan of the way Choate stocks look. They always have that funky curve in the butt stock and I like the traditional style stock.

BUT if it looks good I will order one.

I agree. Choate stocks are ugly and this one is no exception. But if it works and serves your purpose well, then the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would like to see a SpeedFeed IV, or even better, the IV-S short LOP made for the 930. I think Choate is wise to jump into accessories for this shotgun, since everybody else is neglecting it. Although, it is pretty much set up how I would like it right out of the box. My economic stimulus check is burning a hole in my pocket. If I come across a 930 SPX at a local shop, odds are good that it will come home with me.

 

lol, i've always thought choate stocks look like a$$, but function over form.

 

I just ordered mine! {RO

Anyone else putting the grip on the SPX too?

I'll pass too. They just slow me down. I would like(begging here) for someone to come out with a shorter recoil system that allows for a shorter LOP.

Please post pics!!

I can't install one on my SPX, here in CT I would be guilty of making an "assault weapon"...

I'll post pics as soon as it's installed.

 

Just got my PG today. It looks great, I'm impressed. I reserve judgement for the final instal, but so far so good.

Fast shipping BTW. Very happy with customer care on the initial buy.

One observation though is that I think it will be a hair shorter making it alot easier to use with a tac. vest/armor. (also will help those with shorter arms).

Pic coming soon

Hello all. Recent lurker here. I just received my Choate grip and thought I would register and share some pics with you. I snapped them quickly, so they're not the best. I'm sure TYWRAP will have some more that we all can enjoy.

The build quality is very good and the finish blends well with the look of the gun.

Can anyone explain why the stock is not just one piece, but instead has a spacer-like part towards the end of the stock(see last pic)? It's actually a separate removable piece that fits in between the padded end and the back of the stock. I cannot determine what purpose this serves. Perhaps some flexibility for modifications to the recoil assembly?

Nit picking aside... you know what, I don't think this thing looks all that bad. The Choate style is truly function over form, but I like it.

Anyways...

 

welcome, and the pics aren't all that bad. the spacer is so you can adjust the length of pull.

Thanks. I should clarify that the spacer is required for the install. You cannot leave it out, so I'm not sure that it's for the pull. That's why I'm wondering why the stock is not just one piece. I could be wrong.

 

now that is strange, and my foot doesn't taste so good. beats me, lol.

 

Given the gap between the rear of the trigger guard and the permanent "spacer" I would say that this is a stock that was originally molded for another type of shotgun that was "adjusted" to fit the 930. The 930 has an action spring that sticks back into the stock. It might be that the original stock mold does not have enough room, thus the "spacer." The lack of flow from the trigger guard to the PG it looks moreso.

 

Welcome and good post. I'm still learning how to post pics, so don't get too down on yourself.

Just got home and installed the PG. I really like the build quality of the PG, very solid. Install was easy and it feels great. Very functional (I sort of like the look too). For ~$80 I feel it was a good mod for the money.

Here are some quick pics I took. Great pics B-Smooth!

I'll get some more comments and content up tomorrow.

 

i do have to say that it looks much better on the weapon than by itself. nice pics.

 

Can you remove the spacer? I was hoping so to acquire a shorter LOP. I'm expecting my PG to show any day now... and will be bummed if it doesn't work. I'm not sure if I like the look of the gap between the PG and trigger guard. I will have to 'feel' it out.

 

That gap may be a good thing and intentional. It looks like it would allow you to take the trigger group out without removing the stock. Just a thought.

Yeah, I was thinking that might be why they did that. However gaps like that tend to make it hard on the knuckles of the middle finger for protracted range sessions.

You cannot remove the spacer. The extra 3/4" that it covers just barely ends at the tube going through the stock. I also thought it would be great to shorten the stock up as well by removing the spacer. I will say though it feels (haven't measured) shorter. In fact now I would not remove the space as It fits me perfect .

As for the gap near the trigger. At first I was not too pleased when looking at the PG, but again once installed it is hardly noticable. The feel of the PG in you hand in relation to the trigger is also at the right length. It is not farther (just missing the material) and I don't think it will fatigue your hand when shooting for prolonged periods. Again it feels comfortable.

The cons: the top of the PG isn't flush. Now I'm really picking, but it isn't. I thought to maybe dremel it down, but it is so close to being flush I think I would probably screw it up. It is very very close to flush just not perfect.

overall: very pleased, but it still has to go through some rounds/abuse to get a finial verdict.

 

This thing definitely isn't going to win any beauty pagents but if it works then who cares. It reminds me of the chick that you shacked up with that you don't want your buddies to find out about.

How about we get a side saddle specifically design for this gun now?
