I'm thinking of filing a Form 1 so I can cut my 870 down to 14".  For those of you who have used a youth stock on an SBS, do you like it?  I have long arms but I typically still like a shorter LOP.  I run my AR stocks shortend up at least one notch, two if I'm wearing heavy clothing.

I started my son off with with Hogue youth stock on his 870.

After he outgrew it, I kept it & put it on a defense set up 870 for a petite woman.

I shot it myself to show operation and use (I'm 6'3" tall and solid).  It works, (uses less space - more compact) but you have to fold your firing arm tighter due to the short length..

I've used the M-4 type slide adjustment stock adaptors (Mesa Tactical makes a kick ass set up!)

Can adjust in or out to fit a variety of situation without be limited to only long or only short.

I like the short stocks. 14 in LOP is too long for my home defense shotgun. I have a fixed 12.25 inch stock on mine now. I had an 11 inch but it was too short. If you have an SBS the short stock makes it very compact for indoor use. In my case I don’t Have a need to  using  an SBS outside of my house so a short stocked SBS is perfect.

Yes, I run all of my defense guns with short stocks.

I have a couple 18 inch shotguns with youth stocks.

I have two pump SBSs one with a youth stock and one with a M4 type stock with a pistol grip.  I have a shockwave with a SB brace/pistol grip.

I"m a big guy at 6 foot and over 300 lbs.  I like my guns tucked up tight.

Get the Magpul SGA and run it as short as it allows, then if you think it's too short, you can add spacers in.
