The ProMag PM279 transforms the standard Mossberg 702 Plinkster into a tactical-style rifle with enhanced ergonomics and compact storage capability. This synthetic folding stock assembly replaces the factory wooden stock with a modern pistol grip configuration that improves handling dynamics during extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed wooden stocks, the PM279 features a side-folding mechanism that reduces overall length by approximately 8 inches when folded, making transport and storage significantly more convenient. The integrated pistol grip provides a more vertical hand position compared to traditional rifle stocks, allowing for better trigger control and faster target transitions. The synthetic construction eliminates the weight and maintenance requirements of wood while providing consistent performance in varying weather conditions.
Key Features
- Side-folding design reduces storage length from 40 inches to approximately 32 inches
- Integrated pistol grip with textured surface for secure handling
- Black synthetic polymer construction resists moisture and temperature changes
- Direct replacement for factory Mossberg 702 Plinkster stock
- Solid lockup mechanism prevents movement during firing
- Ambidextrous operation accommodates both right and left-handed shooters
- No gunsmithing required for installation with basic tools
The tactical configuration proves particularly effective for plinking sessions and small game hunting where maneuverability matters. The folding capability makes the rifle suitable for backpack carry during hiking or camping trips. The pistol grip angle reduces wrist strain during rapid-fire sequences and provides better leverage for operating the bolt action. Weather-resistant polymer construction maintains structural integrity across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F.
