Not sure what "less lethal" is, sounds oxymoronic

I'm sure someone has an idea fitting the label. To my figuring either something is potentially lethal or not. But I'll claim ignorance for throwing our $75 for a stock set normally over $150. I didn't like the ugly flat black pistol grip stuff that was on it to begin and I sold it on the internet for around $50 so I was really out only $25. I guess someone could paint it anyway.

Color aside it feels really solid and good, very thin and adjustable with those spacers. Sort of looked German'ish to me with the side sling provisions. My gun has a 21" vent rib barrel and screw chokes. Too nice to replace with a cylinder bore and bead. It's on a Magnum Express chassis but has an earlier chrome bolt in it. The crappy poly J-safety trigger group too. The 870 is not perhaps the all time best pump shotgun but it's sure not the worst either, and with all those accessories out there it is fun to play with.

I just visited (2) good local gun stores to no avail. Now I'm validated to get what I need online. I'll figure it out and post some pictures. *870 Express guns have (2) deep dimples on the mag tube right under the barrel band lug. This prevents adding an extended magazine tube. Of course it's great sport to efficiently defeat this feature and stick a long tube on there. A poke to the eye of whomever had that stupid idea. I just drill holes larger than the dimples and smooth the edges. Works perfectly. I added a 4-shot extension to run equal to the 20" mark on my barrel. So it's a 9-shot full up with 2-3/4" shells. Normally that's plenty for my needs. No need for 6-7 more hanging off the left side of the receiver. It's slim, trim, and fits me perfectly, not even a sling.
