Magpul introduced their shotgun stocks at SHOT this year, featuring mainly black and “flat dark earth.” Here at NRA they’re featuring a version of their stocks in blaze orange, which looks pretty good but may cause some confusion if someone sees a decked out shotgun and thinks the orange means it’s a toy instead of a real gun. Needless to say I won’t be a customer in that color, but I’m already hot on their heels for a black version.
Hey, remember what I said about putting a zombie green Hogue stock on my pistol-grip pump gun? Scratch that.
Edit: Blah, scratch that again. Magpul’s stocks are for the Remington 870, so no-go for my Mossie. Hogue it is.
Ive seen shotguns with orange stocks be designated “less lethal” guns by PDs. Presumably loaded with bean bags etc.
That’s more or less the SOP in LEO world. Lesser funded departments tend to use colored tape and stencils.
Safety issues aside, I think that’s a bad ass looking shotty. Cool enough even for me to open my wallet.
Of course, I am an OFWG with a FDE Magpul-equipped AR-15, so feel free to disagree. My tactical poser status is well documented.
Actually, on second thought, that’d be good for hunting safely. Yeah…that’s my story.
I already use magpul’s 4 different mag colors to designate different ammunition flavors. I’d buy orange mags or furniture (among other colors) if I had an appropriate use for them. So long as they don’t roll out an orange muzzle device, I don’t see a problem here.
I think Remington has a 597 in Blaze Orange Camo.
That actually looks pretty cool. Anything to make my firearm pop out is cool with me, vs the standard evil black furniture.
then again, I’m a big fan of FDE and other unique colors.
Why use Safety Orange Magpul setup for shotgun? For “me”, it would be easier to see if I needed to locate it without my glasses… (I can see “colors & shapes” without my glasses, but everything else is blurry…
