Remington 783 stock
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2017 1:07 pm
I did a quick search and didn't see any topics concerning the new model Remington 783. I didn't really expect to see much since the model is so new, but I have a question I hope the group can enlighten me on.
First off, most of my rifles and shotguns have been modified for a shorter length of pull or have adjustable stocks. I have shorter arms than most and prefer a length of pull of around 12.5". I've also had some shoulder injuries preventing me from comfortably shouldering a rifle or shotgun with a standard 13.5" length of pull. Many rifle manufacturers make compact models, Remington being among them. But when I purchased my new Rem 783 it was such a great deal, I wasn't concerned about length of pull, I just knew I wanted this baby. So I bought it, new in the box, from a trusted dealer in town.
Here's my question: can I put a compact stock on my standard model 783 without making any modifications? From what I can gather online there is no definitive specs on this. I'm assuming I can simply remove my stock and screw a new compact model on the receiver. This would be much more simple than trying to modify the existing polymer stock and butt pad, for sure. Any insight or suggestions would be most appreciated.
