Cheek slap is indeed a problem especially for those where the sight alignment is altered due to the stock. This may cause the shooter to adjust their cheek weld to get an appropriate sight picture but unfortunately that can lead to the issue that you are experiencing. This is very common with the AR15 style stock conversions. the Benelli M4 with the telescoping stock is hell on wheels for this same issue, especially when shooting full load slugs. :)
I find that if you keep your cheek away from the flare of the buffer tube it won't hit you in the cheek. I have my stock on the 3rd notch back and it works great for me and I'm pretty short. Hope that helps.
@Daikenhunter Thank you for the advice. But I find it important to keep a good cheek weld to get your sights lined up correctly. It's too bad that I'd have to change how I shoot to not get punched in the face!
I noticed you get the cheek bruise :) I use a thin pad from an old computer mouse pad and used velcro around the stock so I wouldn't scratch it up. That helped me.
If you go that route I'm sure there are tons of choices on the internet :)

@GOBRAGH2 I do, but that's because that is what I trained with a few years ago. It's easier for me to switch the safety on and off with a pistol grip and some say it's better for accuracy since you're "pointing" at your target compared to cradling your standard stock.
The same thing happened to a lot of people in my combat shotgun class. I had installed the optional cheek riser on my Knoxx stock and everything was good. You might want to look into that optional riser although it might raise your head too high to use a bead. I have an optic on my Mossberg.
@Xolette screw on a rail and add something from Primary Arms. Its all good stuff and their micro clone withstands all the slugs and buck. I suppose it would work for clays too.
@Xolette in my experience a pistol grip is nothing but a second knid of cool device. i shoot just as well without one as i do with one. i would ditch that shit, and if you are just shooting field loads then you dont need recoil reduction anyway.
@bhennessee01 Honestly, I didn't buy the stock because I was worried about recoil, I just want a shorter stock so I could practice combat loading and I prefer the pistol grip, it's what I used to train with. :).
:) :) :) You're so unintentionally hilariously cute! And you really took care of those damn skeets flying around. I hate skeets! They should all just 'disappear', if you know what I mean..
1:58 WTF. If your b/f aka "stock-slap" lays another hand on you, I swear to God!! :) jk... That's a cool video but you'd be the pussiest newscaster ever! :)
That was hilarious and adorable at the same time, loved your description of the shotgun. Say Blackhawk Specops Knoxx Stock ten times real fast... a real tongue twister. 8-) VERY impressive shooting, do you ever miss? You really match the pink shotgun shells (not). Black looks good on you. You even wear bruises well magandang dalaga. You're a real whipper snapper too, a gal of many talents. Your boyfriend does know how lucky he is right?
Nice video, little brain freeze on the words but great job shooting. Good to see a video from you, hope everything is going well for you, except the 870 stock slap, LOL. Glad to see you are keeping up with the whip. Take care and have a great day.
@ewtoutdoors Before this video, I was intensely working for 4 hours on a lab for my students, so I forgot everything once it was time to shoot! Thank you for the comment!
That is not good that the new stock bruises your face. I would rather have my shoulder bruised and go back to the original stock. Sometimes my shoulder gets a little irritated when I shoot my 870 but I never get hit in the face by the recoil. Let us know if you are able to fix the issue. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
@edgedweapon88 Yah, totally. I didn't mind the shoulder bruises or the little kick from my gun. Somewhere in the instructions it says how to reduce cheek slap, so the manufacturer knows it happens...I basically have to move my face. Or adjust the stock so it's longer, but that's not why I bought it. I'm thinking of getting a padded cheek piece...but I'll read more on it and let you know!
Woah. Your vid just validated Nutnfancy's review of that knox stock. He said he couldn't recommend it to anyone because of how beats up your face. Id rather keep a good cheek weld and use a more standard stock.
@pipozZz I always learned to keep a good cheek weld, so to not do it, and to not have the correct line of sight confuses me. My old stock was great, but it being adjustable, plus the pistol grip is a bonus. I'll have to check out Nutnfancy's review!
Hands down the greatest smile on Youtube. Too bad about your cheek. I dont have the Knoxx stock but I usually get a bump or two to the cheek the first couple times I shoot my 12ga, then it I must adjust for it and it stops happening. Hope its not going to be a dealbreaker for your new stock. Do you swap barrels when your shooting skeet? Looks like youve got a long barrel on that puppy. You should get a 16" for around the house if thats your "home defender",be a bit lighter/more manuverable.
@xUbastardx My boyfriend tells me the same thing-- to make my gun more tactical since it's on its way there, plus I'll be able to combat load correctly! When I hold it with my right hand to combat load, the barrel just tips forward because it's so heavy for my girly arms! I'll work with my gun, I don't want to get rid of it if I can fix the problem.
those knoxx stocks seem to have a different kick to them, or at least I have heard that. Maybe you can train yourself to get used to the way it recoils.
@fromtntotx The kick is fine, better than my old stock. It's the kick that goes into my face I don't like. :) I'll work with it and post another video of what I try out!
@Xolette The Knoxx stock is suppose to make the recoil lighter, it does however direct the energy toward your face. If you need a pistol grip and a collapsible stock there are other options. Collapsible stocks are great for someone who is small in stature (which maybe you), and every rifle/shotgun is better in my opinion with a pistol grip. Good luck and happy shooting.
@Xolette Well since I don't have an 870, I don't have any first hand experience with another option. Tapco probably makes a stock that will fit the 870, and I have always had good luck with Tapco stuff being well made. You seem to be very internet savvy, spend some time and do some research and you will find another option. The downside is that the felt recoil in the shoulder will be felt more again. I guess it's better to take a shot to the shoulder than the face though.
I have the same shotgun and I used that same stock for a while but it broke. Great to see you like so many different martial things. Knoxx makes a little cheek pad but cheek weld on the Spec Ops is a common complaint and many people get bruised by the recoil absorbing gizmo. I went back to the factory stock. Thanks for the vid.
@CyberDruidtheModGod Thanks for the input! It's very helpful. Why did your stock break and how long did it take to break? I'll look into the cheek pad definitely.
@Xolette If you do a search on Google or YouTube about the Knoxx Spec Ops breaking you'll find some more stories. Mine broke after maybe 1500 rounds of use. A piece of plastic in the grip that a spring hooks over sheared off and the whole stock assembly slid forward partially covering the trigger...that last thing you want during a zombie outbreak. Luckily I was just scaring away some stray dogs that were inspecting my part of the mountain. Up until then I loved my Spec Ops stock. Not now.
@CyberDruidtheModGod Yah, I saw a similar case on Nutnfancy's review. That's so disappointing and not acceptable for the zombie apocalypse! Next time I'll read forums, rather than just going with Amazon's reviews and a few YouTube reviews.
@Xolette I am wondering if a piece of 1/4" neoprene, dive suit material, glued to the stock would help with the purple cheek syndrome.Regarding the failure, I've seen "Gen II" Spec Ops stocks on Cabela's. I wonder if they made any changes based on that failure. Could be you have a second generation version and it won't break. Here's hoping.
@RUSEMANE Yup! I usually get a small bruise in the hole of my shoulder, but not this time. It's a bit heavier, but I don't mind it. The pistol grip is sweet. My only complaint is the facial abuse.
@Xolette I had that same problem. I am smaller framed and bought the knoxx stock for the lop adjustability. get the powerpak cheek rest made especially for the spec ops stock. it helps you get a better cheek and you won't get that bruise. the powerpak was developed I bet due to people having the same problem.
@Punishum I just looked it up... are you using the cheek piece meant for higher sights? I didn't put that piece on since I don't have any additional sights. But maybe I should put it on. Let me know!
@Xolette the pwerpak comes with 2 different height cheek rests. One is the lower one and another piece slips over that one as well I used the higher one as it has a point that comes further towards the receiver. With it in place I can use my red dot and the bead sight as well. Either way it is adjustable to your needs. It comes with a tube for accessories and the 5 round shell holder. I found both to be in the way and I got receiver shell holders.
@Xolette My Right side 4 shell holder is for combat loading and the left 6 shot shell holder to feed the mag. hope this helps, but practice and don't giggle when combat loading :)
So its not just me. I got an M-4 stock for my Mossberg 500, then I went out and shot 3 inch 00 buckshot magnums. Damn thing kept punching me in the face lol. I'm out in the desert right now and I'm going to test out my Winchester PDX1 Defenders. Lets see how it goes. After seeing this I'm thinking I might have to switch back to my original stock.

@CyberDruidtheModGod Yah, I saw a similar case on Nutnfancy's review. That's so disappointing and not acceptable for the zombie apocalypse! Next time I'll read forums, rather than just going with Amazon's reviews and a few YouTube reviews.

@Xolette I am wondering if a piece of 1/4" neoprene, dive suit material, glued to the stock would help with the purple cheek syndrome.Regarding the failure, I've seen "Gen II" Spec Ops stocks on Cabela's. I wonder if they made any changes based on that failure. Could be you have a second generation version and it won't break. Here's hoping.

I've heard that complaint about the knoxx stock from most people who try it out. Does it help you with recoil?
RUSEMANE 1 month ago
@RUSEMANE Yup! I usually get a small bruise in the hole of my shoulder, but not this time. It's a bit heavier, but I don't mind it. The pistol grip is sweet. My only complaint is the facial abuse.

@Xolette I had that same problem. I am smaller framed and bought the knoxx stock for the lop adjustability. get the powerpak cheek rest made especially for the spec ops stock. it helps you get a better cheek and you won't get that bruise. the powerpak was developed I bet due to people having the same problem.

@Punishum Thank you! Good to know. I didn't know there was also a powerpak cheek rest as well. I'll have to order one asap. :)

@Punishum I just looked it up... are you using the cheek piece meant for higher sights? I didn't put that piece on since I don't have any additional sights. But maybe I should put it on. Let me know!

@Xolette the pwerpak comes with 2 different height cheek rests. One is the lower one and another piece slips over that one as well I used the higher one as it has a point that comes further towards the receiver. With it in place I can use my red dot and the bead sight as well. Either way it is adjustable to your needs. It comes with a tube for accessories and the 5 round shell holder. I found both to be in the way and I got receiver shell holders.

@Xolette My Right side 4 shell holder is for combat loading and the left 6 shot shell holder to feed the mag. hope this helps, but practice and don't giggle when combat loading :)

You're great, as always. Being bitch slapped by your own gun is not right. This has to be remedied. You're way to pretty for that.

So its not just me. I got an M-4 stock for my Mossberg 500, then I went out and shot 3 inch 00 buckshot magnums. Damn thing kept punching me in the face lol. I'm out in the desert right now and I'm going to test out my Winchester PDX1 Defenders. Lets see how it goes. After seeing this I'm thinking I might have to switch back to my original stock.

@QBALL85 I love the stock, but hate the abuse. :) I read that getting a padded cheekpiece solves the problems so you might want to try that!
