The Best Remington 870 Shotgun Upgrades in 2025 (In stock!)

  1. The Best Upgrade of All Time – the Hogue Overmolded Stock

I’ve owned Remington 870 shotguns since 2009 and have fired over 50,000 rounds through five (now four) different 870s. In my experience, this stock is the best upgrade available. I even managed to destroy two of the original stocks after 10–15,000 rounds each and replaced them with the same Hogue stocks.

A good grip is absolutely essential for a pump-action shotgun, and the overmolded forend does the job perfectly. It’s the most comfortable stock on the market. Yes, you can’t attach upgrades to it, but that’s never been important to me.

I highly recommend it—if I could choose just one upgrade for my 870, it would definitely be the Hogue forend.

  1. The Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor – Better Than the 870 Police Non-MIM Extractor

The next most important upgrade you can make is replacing the factory MIM extractor with a non-MIM version, like the one on all 870 Police models, or even better, the Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor. In my opinion, about 80% of extraction problems are due to the MIM extractor. And the best part? You can fix it at home for just $25.

  1. The Scattergun Technologies Jumbo Head Safety

The standard safety button on the 870 is too small. I recommend every 870 owner replace it with a larger, more ergonomic version. This simple home upgrade will allow you to disengage the safety faster and more easily—a critical improvement in high-stress situations like hunting or home defense.
