[Sound effect]
hello folks this is Yamil Sued for Gun Stock Reviews and today we're gonna sit here
at the bench and we're gonna try to find a solution for some complaints I've
heard from some people on the Remington 870 tac 14 because they the complaint
is that it doesn't have anything to hold your hand and control recoil so when you
hold the shotgun sometimes it flies of your hand and you have to put a death
grip on it to hold on to it with some of the heavier loads I was talking to the
folks at Magpul who actually make this handguard and they gave me a solution I
first I thought that I was gonna rig two lanyard loops or something in here and
make a homemade strap or something and they said why don't you try getting some
of the analog hand stop kits.
I bought two of them and some of the rail covers
and make them fit together put one stop in the front one in the back and put
some rail covers in between and it will actually give you enough room to put
your hand I'm I've never done this before
so I am gonna go ahead and do it
now for you here on camera and see if it works and they told me that this is a
really good solution
so these kits come with everything you
need and this is the hand stop what he was telling me about it's put a hand stop here
and get another kit here open it up
and put a hand stop here or
something so why don't we go ahead and try this because this is kind of I'm
curious about it this one fits really really well so let's try it and try it a
couple of ways and see if it make it fit good
and put something in between and
this would hold your hand pretty well and grab your hand pretty well so we're
going to install this and try a couple versions and see which one works better
so join me please and let's see we can make this work for us
and come up with a really good solution so we can fire this firearm because it's
not a shotgun remember it's a firearm and you know we have a bunch of hardware
and kits and whatever so let's go start it
okay folks I just figured something
out in here I don't need to use the rail covers in between the hand stops I could
have done that and make it bigger but for my hands and I think this using the
base from the one kit here maybe in the middle there and we put the hand stops
in the end
this is big enough for my hands and you've got to have really
humongous hands to meet more distance I think this is gonna work perfect so let
me go ahead and get our old prep for you put all the screws and get them ready to
go and we'll go ahead and get it started
the first thing we got to do is prep the
backers for the screws for the M lock system it's not that difficult but it
requires you to have a screwdriver and a nice set of pliers that it's not going
to ruin your em lock so I use this clean pliers here and my Allen and I'm not
gonna put it I'm just give it two turns two or three turns to make sure that
it's nice and secure and then I do that for all four screws I'm gonna do two in
the front two in the back and these are gonna go in here on the slot and then
they will tighten when you turn them so let me go ahead and put them all I'm not
gonna do it on camera I don't want to bore you with me tightening screws
Ok folks I set all the m lock backers here on the plates
now we're gonna install it onto the M lock
system here it's gonna take a second or two what all of them line up perfectly
two of them are locking up one refuses to do it of course
Ok we're in now what
is supposed to happen in theory is that when you start turning these the m lock
backer is gonna turn a little bit and is going to catch on to the handguard and
it's going to work great so let's see if this really theory is the same as
reality well it did it
woohoo!
so we get all four screws tightened
and um
as I have been told you don't have to over tighten these so much that it's
gonna like break your hand guard or your part just when you feel it tight you
stop if it comes loose you can come over again and do it later but I don't think
you need to put the fear of God in your screws
okay I think that's tight enough for government work because I used two different kits there's a lot of screws
and backers left so you can never have too many m lock backers so okay there
we go
feels great in my hand I think this is gonna work great so why don't we do
something let's go to the range and shoot some shotgun shells at it and
through it and we'll try it and see how it works
well folks we're here at the range
with the new improvement we put in using the Mag pul hand stops we just rigged this
ourselves using two hand stop kits and we made this really cool
hand-holding grip and we have some really nice reduce recoil double ought
buck remington shells here these are law-enforcement shells so we're gonna
shoot four rounds see how it feels
[Bang]
well works great depends how you hold your shotgun is it's gonna be you know
how effective it is for me shooting this law enforcement low recoil rounds were
great instead of shooting it from the hip like we were doing originally
because we're using this 1,300 feet per second loads there were just like little
nuclear reactions this one here is a manageable load but with this
improvement I have I like it I'm holding it like so and putting my hand like this
and my thumb forward and I'm keeping my hand in away from the muzzle which is
the most important thing that's not slipping in covering the my hand with a
muzzle so I think this is a great little tip I want to thank my friend Dwayne up
at Mag pul he gave me this idea and I took it one step further and got it
installed thanks Duane this is a great idea so try it I think this would work
great for you
