mercury recoil supressors

[openheart4]

i have a rem. 870 20 ga. shooting  buckhammers .with the synthetic stock this gun is very light so it produces a lot of recoil.i was interested in asking if anyone here has used a mercury recoil supressor and if so what was their experence with it?

I have and they do work, but add about 1/2 lb. to the shotgun weight.  Limbsaver recoil pad works also.  I have both, I have a Benelli Super Black Eagle 3-1/2" mag.  I can shoot everything from light 2-1/3" loads to the magnums.  Get a Limbsaver first as that is less expensive and try that.  You may not need a mercury recoil suppressor.

the synthetic stock is very light ,the recoil makes the gun try to jump out of my hands,i can control this on the bench some but when shooting out of a treestand it can affect my accuracy. i think it makes me shoot high.the universal supressor advertises  11 ozs. so i hope this device can help  hold the muzzle down.

Is the supressor attached at the front of the magazine cap (like a replacement cap) or inside the stock?  Mine is inside the stock, but I have a 28" barrel that I use for turkey and goose hunting.  Mine was front heavy since it has an aluminum receiver and plastic stock.  However, my stock was formed inside to install a mercury recoil suppressor by replacing the nut holding on the stock after removing the pad.  The recoild suppressor I have screws in as a replacement and is about 6" long and about an inch in diameter but weighs 8 ozs.  My gun only weighted about 5-1/2 to 6 lbs new anyways.  So I installed both.

Just adding weight to the buttstock will help with the recoil.  The Limbsaver pad sounds good too.

I just filled the hole with shot, and added the limbsaver, my #3 in 45/70 was pounding the heck out of my shoulder, now it sort of bounces off, thats thanks to the limbsaver, the shot actually balanced the gun better and I'm sure it helped with the recoil also...steg

I put a mercury recoil reducer in the stock of my H&R 10 gauge.  The effect was extraordinary.  Kicks less than my Mossberg 935 with 3 1/2's now.
