Shotgun stock option

I recently picked up a Mossberg 500 for a nice price. It's coming with an ATI side folding stock. I have not fired it yet so will with hold my opinion until I do. However, I have not heard anything good about these stocks and being new to shotguns I was thinking of changing the stock. I have been looking at Knoxx stocks and Speedfeed stocks, but am not sure I want to drop $100 on a stock so soon. I have also thought about just swapping for the original stock or a Hogue model. Thoughts and Opinions.

My first gun was a Mossberg 590. I promptly got some buck shot and went out to have some fun. I shot 2 rounds of 0 buck and said, "aw, F**K!" to which my brother said, "*****! Give me that."



He shot 1 round and said, "aw, F**K!" to which our friend said, "Pussies! Give me that."



He shot 1 round and said, "aw, F**K!" to which we both said, "*****!"



I thought, what did I buy? But I wanted a collapsable stock anyway, and the Knoxx said it reduced recoil to nothing, so I figured what the hell, it's still cheaper than an autoloader.



I ordered a Knoxx SpecOps stock and had to wait a couple of months, because production was just beginning. When I got it, I wasn't too impressed. It doesn't look all that good. It doesn't seem to fit the Mossberg all that well. And the grip kind of sucks. But I figured I bought the thing so I might as well shoot it.



So off I went to the range with 4 boxes of buck, and 1 box of magnum slugs. And WOW! The Knoxx suddenly looked very pretty to me. Adjustable length of pull, and while there is still recoil, it is completely manageable. I routinely shoot 50 various rounds with little to no pain.



And with a Hogue sleeve, some GG&G mounts, and a Wilderness giles sling, you have the perfect home defense gun.



I love my Knoxx stock. My brother loves his, and our friend loves his.

If you get an AR style stock, you can use the rear sling thing from http://gggaz.com/index.php?id=69&parents=38,48.



GG&G also makes a front sling mount for the Mossberg.



The giles sling from TheWilderness http://thewilderness.com/catalog/index.php...9594a0d1a58f0c6 is about the best sling I've found, and their belts are amazing.



Don't skimp on your home defense slings. Spend the money. I'm poor, but I won't skimp on a CC holster for pistol, or a sling for any long gun used for self defense. A quality holster or sling could mean the difference between keeping your gun in an attack, or having your gun used against you.
