I find that all factory stocks except the Winchester 1300 are longer than my preferred 13.75" LOP.
Shortening the factory synthetic 870 stock can be a trick as it's hollow and the solid portion the recoil pad screws utilize are not designed to be altered. I believe the Ramline aftermarket stock is designed to by shortened, don't know about others..
I have several 870's but primarily shoot a synthetic Browning BPS. It has a solid stock and was a breeze to shorten.
BTW, the trickiest part is to re-shape the recoil pad to fit. Mark the base with a pencil, then carefully remove material with a belt sander, fitting it as you go...
