Mesa Tactical has introduced the second generation of their LEO shotgun stock and grip adapters. The first LEO Gen II model is designed for Remington V3 semi-auto shotgun. The general concept is the same as in the first generation LEO adapters – the adapter replaces the stock of the shotgun and provides attachment points for AR-15 pistol grips and buffer tubes. However, the design has been refined and Gen II incorporates some modifications.

The Mesa Tactical LEO Gen II adapter is a bit shorter and more compact than the first generation adapters. It also has a slightly forward angled pistol grip mount which results in a grip angle similar to that of the 1911 pistols and as the company notes, provides “more space for the webbing of the operator’s thumb above and behind the grip“. As a result of the grip angle change, the AR-15 pistol grips with beavertail backstraps are more comfortable to use on the shotgun. Another design improvement is that the Gen II endplate engages on the sides instead of on top which according to the company makes it less likely to come into contact with the shooter under recoil. This adapter also features an ambidextrous QD sling swivel socket. As other stock adapters made by this company, LEO Gen II is machined of investment cast aircraft grade aluminum with a black powder-coated finish.

The Mesa Tactical LEO GenII stock adapters are available in following four options:

LEO Gen II Telescoping Stock Adapter for Rem V3. MSRP - $100
LEO Gen II Telescoping Stock Kit for Rem V3. Comes with a buffer tube, adjustable stock and ERGO grip. MSRP - $210
LEO Gen II Hydraulic Recoil Starter Pack for Rem V3. Comes with an AR-15 stock compatible hydraulic recoil buffer that is installed instead of the AR buffer tube. The hydraulic buffer is made by Crosshair for Mesa Tactical. MSRP - $275
LEO Gen II Telescoping Hydraulic Recoil Stock Kit for Rem V3. Same as the previous option except this one comes with an adjustable stock and ERGO pistol grip. MSRP - $335

    People still use pistol grip shotgun on M4 stocks? What's this, 2005?

  • Over priced. The tacstar is $25 at cabelas, and is also made of die cast alluminum, also has 2 QD slots. Only downside is that the finish leaves lot to be desired. Also made in the USA.

    I paired it with a RTB buffer tube, adaptive tactical stock and a spare a2 grip/castle nut.

    Total was under $80 for everything.

    Works well on my Hawk 982.
