Anyone have a Hogue overmolded stock?

Does anyone have a Hogue Overmolded Stock?

If so, would you be so kind as to measure the LOP for me. Also, how do you like it? Does it make recoil more comfortable?

FWIW
I believe the standard stock LOP is 14"

I have the short stock (LOP 12") I like the feel. Idon't think the stock affects the felt recoil, but the rubber overmold make handling easier that the synthetic stocks.

Thanks bud! I appreciate the help.

I bought the shorter stock and forend for my 500 Mils-Gun.

I added a Kick-Eze slip on recoil pad over the pad Hogus has installed.
The length of pull is just about 13.25" and perfect for me.

I have the same set up and it works for me. The handling is the biggest advantage. Recoil is perhaps a little stronger, I think because the Hogue is a little lighter than the wood stock I had before. May be my imagination though.

The recoil is a little more severe with the standard Hogue recoil pad, that is why I installed the slip on Kick-Eze pad.
You can get a Kick-Eze grind to fit pad but I don't want to waste that much time on this particular shotgun.
They don't make a specific, ready to install pad that will work with the Hogue stock sets as of yet.

Don't have the stock, but use the Hogue forend with a SpecOps reduced recoil stock. I really like the forend for its gripability - I can cycle it more rapidly and with a surer grip than the original Rem forend.

Onmilo,
That's a nice looking Mossberg..
If you don't mind, what kind of magazine extension is that??
Is it strong, do you like it?
Thanks,
Steve

Vang Comp.
Yes.
Yes.
It is a one shot extension.
They also make two and four shot extensions depending on the barrel length of the gun.
Here is a close up picture.

Nice!!
Does that reversible sling attachment rattle around or otherwise scratch up the barrel?
Thank you much.
Steve

[Onmilo]

It isn't reversible, it is welded to the main cap.
It will scratch the barrel, if this is a concern, a bit of friction tape on the clearance slot will protect the barrel during installation.

This doesn't really concern me as this is a working gun, it gets scratched up anyway.

Thanks again, Onmilo.
It sounds like I need to try one of those out. It looks solid.
Cheers,
Steve

Hey, get yourself one of the Hogue overmolded stock sets too.
These are a pretty excellent piece of kit too!:cool:
