Synthetic or wood - XDTalk Forums

Shay_Ellafrits · 11-01-2009, 04:08 PM

Well, Im changing a few things up a bit on my shotgun. Things im getting

-18.5 in barrel

-eagle arms shotgun stock pack (tan)

-tri rail mount

-flashlight

-new stock and forarm

-slide tube assembly

I just dont know if I want syntetic or wood. If I got wood, the stock pack would look wierd, but im not sure of what I want.

(i also have an od green stock set if you want to trade me for something on the list)

Thanks in advance.

I bought a wood stock set for my 870 off of dasani and I love it. Really nice buttpad and it looks great. Pistol grip shotguns are for mall ninjas.

I vote wood... it looks good, although it is not as tacticool

So, what you are saying is that people who use pistol grip shotguns are nothing but mall ninjas?

I wonder what the hundreds of Military Personnel serving in Afghanistan and Iraq who are currently using Benelli M4s would have to say about that.

Personally, I love wood, but I think that synthetic is lower maintenance and lighter. I could be wrong considering that I don't have either...

LOL!! He's talking about the everyday average joe like himself. Not the duty cop or service man.

I like the syn dressings but the wood is classic.

My HD gun is old school wood, I like the looks, i not carrying it so weight will only benefit me with recoil reduction and wood butt strokes harder..lol

I voted for the synthetic look. Just because you are adding all the tactical accessories.

I own three shotguns. A Remington 870 that has wood and will stay that way, an old school S&W 916 Riot Shotgun with wood that will also stay that way. Both of them will stay with the wood just because it is the "classic" look.

I also have a Mossberg 930SPX that has synthetic furniture.

I love wood and synthetic. I guess it just depends on the shotgun.

One thing I will never do is add a pistol grip to any shotgun. I like my shotguns with the "standard" look. Don't know why, I am just funny that way I guess. I also do not like the shotguns with the VFG on the forearms either. Just me I guess.

Good luck with your project.
