I've got an 88 with the Hogue "Tamer" furniture myself. Much, much more comfortable than the OEM p.g. None of my business, but an action bar assembly and Hogue fore-end upgrade made a world of difference for the better on how mine felt. I still don't want to shoot mine all day long, but it's a lot more comfortable on the wrist's than before.My 590 American got himself a little brother today a Maverick 88. Ordered a heat shield, hoge pistol grip and a brown side saddle Will post images once all put together
Will do. I've been planning on getting a "family photo" of the three 12 gauge guns since it'll probably be February before both the 20's are finished. Now I've just got to learn how to share pictures.You get a chance post a pic or two.
I will. My daughter came in from college and she's staying until January 5th, she said she'd teach me.Let me know if you are having problems posting pics.
I've got a pair of 88's with the Hogue standard L.O.P. furniture and one with the Hogue Tamer pistol grip set. I've been considering replacing the p.g. with the short L.O.P. stock to make the gun more versatile yet remain more compact than standard. Is the short stock suitable for a full-size shooter to use comfortably or will my thumb hit my nose with every shot?
Good to know, thanks. This might be just the ticket. The Hogue pistol grip is more comfortable to me than the factory set-up, but it's still not a gun you want to spend too much time with.If you wrap your thumb over the stock then yes, you'll likely get a knuckle in the cheek bone.
I have adjusted my grip so that my thumb rides pointed forward along the top right of the tang instead of wrapped over it. Works perfectly with the short L.O.P. stock and saves me the black eyes...
