I'm not a fan of AR stocks on anything else besides ARs but that is one nice looking shotgun.

Thank you so much for the compliment! I thought maybe I went a little overboard. It does need an extended action release lever to compensate for the grip being pushed back.

I thought about doing the 12.5" LOP stock which I could always pick up down the line but I wasn't sure if even that would fit me correctly since I've never been properly fired for a rifle or shotgun. I do know you can measure with your forearm but I figured I know for a fact AR stocks fit me.

Nice job. Did you paint it or is it cerakote or?

The OD green is actually the factory finish. I forgot to mention I grabbed it on a Black Friday special at tanners.

I was too embarrassed to ask what color it was. Partially color blind - some colors are a challenge for me to pin down. Browns and greens are always tricky for me.

I spray painted a "rubbery" Hogue grip for my AR15 and it holds up OK unless I bump it against something.
I just used some stuff from Walmart that said it can be used on all surfaces.

The tricky thing with AR stocks on most shotguns is that they tend to be mounted, for whatever reason, in such a way that there's a ridiculous amount of DAC, which tends to increase the felt recoil a noticeable amount... Not something you want when shooting buckshot and slugs.

I do like how the shotgun looks though, especially the color scheme.

I admit I haven't fired it yet since the first 50 to function check and figure out the LOP was too long, straight from the shop to the range
