WOOX Gladiatore High Grade Walnut Stock Kit for Shotguns

WOOX has expanded its Gladiatore lineup with a “High Grade” American walnut stock and fore end option aimed at popular 12-gauge pump platforms, including Mossberg 88/500/590/590A1 and Shockwave models, plus the Remington 870 and Tac-14. Announced February 20, 2026, the new set is positioned as a premium furniture swap for shooters who want upgraded ergonomics and a more refined wood match than typical factory pieces.

The company says each High Grade set is hand-selected for grain depth and contrast, then paired to create a matched stock-and-fore-end look. “Each piece is hand-selected and matched for its exceptional quality, grain depth, and contrast. We look for wood that stands apart from the rest and put them together to form a matching pair. The result is a truly unique stock set where no two sets are the same. This High Grade match is beauty in the most natural form and giving our end user a collector-grade build,” said Ben Fleming, CEO of WOOX USA. “With limited supply of this High Grade American Walnut, we’re going to build every one of them we can. This beautiful Walnut deserves to be shown off, and we know our customers will appreciate the unique and rare quality that this series brings.”

Gladiatore High Grade is offered as a stock, a fore end, or as a complete stock-and-fore-end kit, keeping the line flexible for owners who may only need one component. WOOX frames the release as part of a broader push to bring its Italian-American styling to a larger shotgun audience, while emphasizing functional gains in control and durability for range use, field carry, or defensive setups.

For shotgun owners, furniture upgrades tend to fall into two camps: pure ergonomics (comb height, length of pull, recoil interface) and pure utility (sling mounting and accessory attachment). Gladiatore High Grade tries to cover both without turning a pump gun into a full chassis system, and the raised comb plus LOP spacers are particularly relevant as more 12-gauges end up wearing optics.

On the fore end side, the dual M-LOK slots at 3 and 9 o’clock are a straightforward, practical decision for weapon lights and sling hardware. If the set delivers the fit and repeatability WOOX describes with its aluminum coupling, it could appeal to shooters who want a more traditional feel than polymer while still supporting modern accessories.

As a category, shotgun furniture doesn’t need to be complicated to be useful. The WOOX Gladiatore High Grade walnut stock and fore end kit focuses on the basics—comb height, length-of-pull tuning, sling support, and M-LOK mounting—while leaning into matched walnut for shooters who want their working pump gun to look as considered as it handles.
