HP, what and where did you order? All (except the 10 Gauge receiver stocks) are interchangeable. How does it not fit? Where is it too big? Maybe someone here has a stock to exchnage with you if you let us know what you got and from where. If it does not fit correctly they should exchange it for you....<><.... :grin:

yeah I checked the stock to the receiver fit I think this must be a faulty stock because theres a good 1/8 of a inch sticking out on both sides of the stock and you can tell it just doesn't look right nothing like my synthetic looks :cry: I'm going to call them again the fellow I talked to seemed in a bad mood  :wink:

HP, the wood buttstocks on Handi's are a bit oversize and yours may not be wrong. It is a shock when you first see the fit but you get used to it very quickly. See if you can check out some wood stocked Handis a a gun shop or that a friend may have and see how they compare with yours....<><.... :grin:

helton -

msp is right on, all my handis have oversized stocks near the receiver. it's kinda funny, some of the real high end shotguns do the same thing so they can send you a stock with out the need to fit it at the factory, perozzi is well known for this.
