Does anyone know where I can find a black, solid stock for a Smith and Wesson 3000?
I have a Smith and Wesson 3000 that currently has a pistol grip on it, the orginal wooden fore grip, and one of those OD green baked on finishes on the frame. I've een looking for a solid black stock, but all I can find are the orignal wood stocks, or the folding black tactical stocks. Would it be easier to locate this black stock or is there a way to take the OD green off and use the readily available wooden stock? Will parts off an Remington 870 or another shotgun fit?
Other than it's identical to the Mossberg 3000 and that wooden stocks are about all you're going to find, that's about all I can say stock-wise.
The 870 isn't really the same, but it *can* be made to fit if you're creative. Your best bet, without touching the weapon or the current stock, is to use a 1/4" spacer and make each side of it fit the receiver and the 870 stock. You're out nothing that way and no destroyed parts. Once you get the spacer to fit, you can then modify the 870 stock or leave it as is.
Other than that, you could find yourself a cheapo wood stock, sand down/fill the checkering, and apply some skateboard tape to the wrist before spraying it black. Easy cheesy tactical stock. You'd be surprised how many of those are floating around.
The green could be simple paint in which case an overnight soak in Lowe's paint stripper could take it off....but if it's one of the commercial gun finishes like Gun Kote etc, you're looking at sandblasting to remove it.
If it were mine, I'd try the overnight paint stripper first....second would be a pack of fresh Scotch Brite pads and a lot of elbow grease....third would be a new finish with black gloss Gun Kote.
It's a fine weapon, but you're always going to have probs with parts. My suggestion is once you get it cleaned up a bit, take it to gunbroker or your local pawn shop and sell it. Use the cash and buy a Rem 870 or a Mossy 500.
