Archangel Tactical Shotgun Stock System w/ Shell Carrier Remington 870 REVIEW

This is a quick review of the Archangel 870SC Tactical Shotgun Stock System for the Remington 870. This one includes the shell carrier.

[@ArchangelDevelopment]

Nice review! If you loosen the two screws for the recoil pad you can tuck the recoil pad lips back into the clamp and tighten it back up. The cheek riser is intended for shotguns equipped with an optical sight. Our forend has a more grip due to the sharper edged "ribbed" design. If you get a chance to try our our forend you'll see that less recoil will get through to your shoulder due less slip through on your pump hand. Best Regards, Mike Ballard Director of R&D Archangel Manufacturing

ArchangelDevelopment Thanks, I got the padd back on. I have a 2 day gun / shotgun event at the end of the month. I will try both foregrips to compare and I'll do a follow up vid.

[@thebaronvoneric87]

I tried helping a friend attach the stock and the provided allen wrench locked inside the tube when tightening the bolt. Any suggestions?

[@FencingGold]

Thank you for this, man! I appreciate the advice about the screw, the gorilla tape, and the blue locktight!!

[@tacdad]

I ended up using the foregrip. I still have it and have used it in various competitions. Have fun!

[@FencingGold]

@@tacdad decided to get something else. No need to ghetto rig my shotgun with gorilla tape and locktite 242 when there are just other ones that aren't crappy

[@ArsenaI1]

Thanks for the review, seeing all the tweaks you needed to do I'll pass on this stock. It looks good but I hate dealing with wobbling and rigging to get things perfect.

[@THETOPGLOCK]

Great review! So good infact I just ordered the same set up as you for my 870.. Magpul and the archangel from Cheaper then Dirt. 👍

[@tacdad]

Awesome, I ended up removing the magpul fore end and using the Promag one. I like the Promag one better. Trickey part is getting that screw to connect the end to the receiver. USE BLUE LOCK TIGHT so you do not have to re tighten.

Just installed mine today, yeah that buttstock is a bit of a pain. Looks good though. Mine has a slight gap on the side as well. I installed the forearm and had to go back to the original end cap as the sling end cap I was using will not work with the forearm with the picatinnay attachment. It wont slide forward all the way. The stock is heavy than the factory composite stock.

[@baumfr]

Tac Dad - Did your Archangel come with the QD sling ring installed? I just installed an 870SC today and it doesn't have the sling ring shown in your video. Thanks for the video. Made my installation a little easier. My only frustration was removing the factory forend clamp to install the new forend.

[@tacdad]

+baumfr Hi, No it did not, I purchased it separately.

[@ANTAGONISTKING]

Lmao...I just opened my package and currently fighting the instructions

[@seadog686]

Do you still have the unused foregrip from the kit and would you be interested in selling it?

[@tacdad]

Yes I do have it. I was going to list it on ebay. What state do you live in?

[@USSoldaten0612]

Do you know if the stock tube is compatible with other after market stocks? I know the blackhawk knoxx tube isn't.

[@lorihiggins1213]

I purchased a side saddle. when put on I was not able to pump the shotgun. due to the saddle in the way. it will not allow me to cycle fully. the foregrip bumps up against the side saddle

[@tacdad]

+Lori Higgins This will not work with all foregrips. That is why I got the Magpul one.

[@webster7710]

+Lori Higgins Depending on your forend, you may have to remove some material to allow it to slide past the shell carrier.

[@lorihiggins1213]

thanks for the info. I was able to cut down the foregrip and allow for smooth movement.

[@Condadoharris248]

Same thing happened to me I used my grinder to cut and sand a small piece on my wood foregrip

[@ericmorgan1892]

Although the individual tension looks nice, it looks kinda bulky & sticks out quite a bit.

[@enny8540]

Did that glue stayed on still I tried putting glue on mine and when to test fired it and the shockwave from the gun pop the buttstock loose again

[@lennystiles7675]

Not glue. Tape.

[@donovankruger8131]

Hi I would just like to find out if this will fit the model 870 express?

[@tacdad]

yes it should

[@jaysonhollwedel9296]

Will this fit a 12 gauge? Package says 20 bv gauge

[@quejebo]

any chance you can do a vid on the pistol grip install? instructions don't make a lot of sense

[@anvilhammer9026]

Andrew Nissen I'm sorry but you couldn't figure that out maybe you shouldn't be handling a gun at all.

[@iice19]

Can i put this on my 870 DM ?

[@brandonharrison3070]

The forend with the 3 rail system doesn’t even work with the 870 tactical, it’s bullshit u need to dremel out little pieces of the rail system to make it work, wish they would have disclosed this before I bought it, couldn’t even show it in my review on it 😂

[@tacdad]

I actually stopped using the Magpul foreend and now use the one that came with the kit. It does fit on mine and feels better.

[@brandonharrison3070]

Tac Dad really? Why do I have bad luck... my pump won’t come forward needs about three extra milimetres so I can’t engage my trigger. So I am using the piece it comes with that’s isn’t the rail system for now till I machine the rails to fit

[@brandonharrison3070]

I live in Canada so maybe mine is different, your ammo tube looks different, that’s what the rail gets stuck on the little threaded piece that tightens it on the gun

[@tacdad]

It may be a production run issue. Contact customer service, they are VERY good and will send you a new one.

[@brandonharrison3070]

thanks ill contact them

[@sunnycat69]

look into mesa leo ar adapter you don't have to ghetto rig your stock bro

[@davidcole3489]

The archangel tactical buttstock is such a piece of garbage. The instructions were useless and the installation was a total pain in the ass. Totally wobbly and cheap feeling. I literally threw it in the trash the day I received it. The shell carrier is fine, but I would NOT recommend this buttstock. I wish I had my money back and spent it on a Magpul SGA or literally anything else.
