Didn't know if it was going to be hard but numrich had the 880SQ stocks for $49 and it took about 3 or 4 dial caliper measurements and 3 different grades of sandpaper but it works. The hardest part was picking out a can of spray Minwax at Wally world.

I assume your 880 stock was for a thin bbl? 880 SQ'S came with plastic stocks with a hvy bbl channel. I also had to get longer action screws and a metal trigger guard.
 
No the stock came for the heavy barrel, I bought it from Numrich it was a special for $49.99 only place I had to sand and fit was for the trigger area because the 880SQ didn't have the adjustable trigger housing like the 917 I have does.
