Problematic Knoxx SpecOps stocks?

[Cheeseybacon]

I was discussing shotguns with one of my co-workers yesterday and he expressed interest in obtaining a tactical stock for his 870. I told him to take a look at the Knoxx SpecOps stock as I have heard a lot of people praising the virtues of this stock. I also read a article on it in Guns and Ammo many months ago that was positive

Anyway, in the process of researching this stock he came across a bad review where some guy broke one of the springs inside the stock after using the thing only 5 times. Now he's having reservations about buying one.

Has anyone here with a SpecOps stock had problems with it? Is that bad review likely just a fluke occurance or is it a fairly common problem? What do you guys who have a SpecOps stock think of it?

well Remington is using them on there police shotguns so id trust it

if he still worries call knoxx and ask them if they offer a warranty

like fulton said check out their warranty.. I have never heard anything bad about them, but like everything someones is bound to break no manufacturer is perfect..

People worry too much...it's one bad review...do you honestly believe that every person that buys every product will be 100% happy with their purchase? I know people who own high end automobiles that have issues...does that mean BMW sucks because there was one lemon?

I have the SpecOps on an 870 that I recently sold. I never had an issue. nuff said

over 150rds on a Knoxx breachers grip on my Serbu Shorty, and that certainly gives it a bigger beating than a full size shotgun model.

tell your buddy to nut up and buy one.

tell your buddy to nut up and buy one.

Haha, that's the exact response I was looking for.
I sent him a link to this thread.

+1 for jaybell... ha ha
ive had one on my mossy 500 for a while now with *zero* issues...
youll soon realize, after shooting your 1st 3" magnum shell one-handed, that the stock is well worth every penny!
buy it buy it buy it... ha ha...

[JayBell]

yeah, this is one of those rare products thats actually worth every dime, for me, my SSS was about 15 shells, then go wrap your wrist, now I can do boxes and boxes of them.

Knoxx products roxx!! I have the breacher's grip and SpecOps stock for my 870 and they are outstanding. Everything that you see them doing on the Knoxx website, like shooting 3" slugs single handedly, or resting the stock against their stomach, or leaning back against a wall to shoot is all realistic. I've done all of those things myself. Great products, and no problems whatsoever. Listen to what others have already posted on this thread.

my 870 with spec ops stock fell about 14 feet right onto the end of the stock and its still going strong
