I got this a while back.
Decent, used 870 walnut stock, on the face it's stamped 87M. The Wingmaster forend in the pic was not with it, got it from someone else. 
The last one I had marked like that was a Crane stock that needed some work. 
As far as I can tell, the stock in the top pics was not chopped for the pad, but maybe it was just done well, or is 87M a standard stamping for the early walnut pieces? Thanks. |

870 Magnum?
probably thicker wrist to handle 3 inch magnum loads. |

OK, but, when the MK-Is and MK-IIs were being produced, and issued/serviced at Crane Naval Station, why would that stock, produced for the Navy, have the 87M stamp? Maybe I'm wrong, but, didn't the magnum 870 come later? I agree with 87M meaning Magnum. I've seen that stamp on old commercial stocks, pretty sure they were all on magnum guns. |

Thanks. I believe I bought that Crane stock from you! It's being well-loved on an 870 Police.... |

870 Magnum was introduced in 1955. It was simply a commercial stock with plain finish, no checkering (as offered then), and a military sling swivel. I agree with 87M meaning Magnum. I've seen that stamp on old commercial stocks, pretty sure they were all on magnum guns. Thanks. |
