FYI: Knoxx SpecOps for Rem 870

[sgt7546]

My unit was sent a Remington 870, 14 inch barrell entry gun equiped with the SpecOps on Friday. On Sunday I took it to the range and with low brass loads found that the stock slid forward covering the trigger and safety making any follow-up shots impossible.

On Monday I removed, realligned, and remounted the stock, then immediately went to the range. The gun fired fine with low brass and reduced recoil 00 buck. With reduced recoil slug the stock jammed in the same manner. A call to tech support confirmed that this problem does exist with ONE batch of SpecOps for the Remington model. Knoxx Industries will replace any defective stocks free of charge.

MORAL of the story....Test your weapons before you need them.

im guessing someone messed up when they mixed the polymer

Wasn't that the same deal with the shotgun at the shoot Sunday? I think it was Roland's??

[sgt7546]

That was mine..one in the same

Sorry Sgt...that was a great looking gun!

I did want one of those stocks for my Mossy, but I think I will go for the non recoil dampening version.

Thanks, hopefully it will be up and running for next month, so anyone that wants to try it can. If not my reg issued one will be there, same thing exept with a light, one point and reg stock.

hmm, hope that doesn't happen with mine, I just installed it yesterday.

however, by leaning on it HARD i can cycle the recoil system, and it doesn't stick.

we'll see.

i have a breacher's grip on a rem marine magnum and a 870 express. LOVE them both. feels great and with the hand's all grip sleeve on em , the br's grip's are reall sticky ,grippy. knoxx is great. enjoy the spec ops stock. no body is perfect all the time. and yes you can be somewhat accurate with a one handed shot.
