I tried out my Mossberg 500 Persuader with the Knoxx Spec Op stock and it DOES make a world of difference!! I fired 00Buck, 1oz slug, 3" Turkey loads, and 000 Premium Buckshot, a total of 25rds and my shoulder was fine. no soreness, no bruising, It worked awesome! The only time I felt any pain was when I would try to hold back the recoil with my left hand on the Surefire grip! but nothing on my shoulder. Great product!!
the recoil isn't changed at all when you shoot it one handed... it only would be efficacious if you push the butt of it against something (like your shoulder).... ~~~~physics!!!~~~~
Your cheek looks to be absorbing most of the shock tell me Honestly my man how does your cheek feel after shooting some 00buck with this knoxx recoil system?
The recoil on the slugs looks significantly more violent in slow motion. I have one of these stocks on my check list for my 870 clone...I have heard great things about them
with shotguns recoil greatly changes with the type of shells you are using. the stock was mostly designed for users who use slugs or higher powered buck loads and users who shoot hundreds of rounds down range at a time. if you shoot lower powered buck or standard birdshot youd probably never have problems with recoil even after 500+ rounds.
In my opinion, lean in to it and you won't need the recoil reducing option. This is the best shotgun on the market for less than $350. I carry one daily for work. You can beat the hell out of these things and replace them every 5 years. These are also a good backup for bird hunting.
@immortalrapper Thats a load of crap. Im not a really big guy but im not small either and with the knoxx stock on there I dont have a bruised shoulder after 60 shots.
@immortalrapper are you eating dog food or what. the Knox recoil reducing stock makes all the difference in the world. with one you can shoot slugs all day long with no soreness or bruising to your shoulder. without one your hurting and uncomfortable very quickly. I own a Knox opps stock on my moss 500 12 ga and I'm here to tell anyone that its the best investment you can put on any 12 Gage if you shoot a lot. Immortltrapper is just another brain dead you tube idiot..........
hha whoa dude take a few deep breaths and calm down :L. its just a video . u dont needa go all bitchy over a comment? Im saying i wouldnt sepnd 120.00 on a stock wen i dont get hurt / bruised by it anyway. all u need is a good recoil pad. AMO
most cameras microphones arent designed to pick up the extreme decibels created by a firearm. essentially the mics cant hear the noise because its too loud.
Are you serious??? You really think that?? What if the gun malfunctions? What if residual powder is blown in your eyes?? What if the unknown happens?? Always expect the unexpected. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
ANSI-Z87 glasses are designed by the manufacturers specifically for that purpose. As a professional safety officer and paramedic I can tell you that guns do malfunction and explode. Especially older/cheap ones. I have pictures of z87 glasses with nails stuck in them that were ejected by nail guns. This is why nearly every spec ops team, SWAT team and law enforcement professional uses them whenever possible. Even the gun manual, any gun manual tells you to use them.
Well, you likely know more about hunting guns than I do. I was in the Israeli Military and we trained a lot. Does not make me an expert on guns. I know about injuries though. I have a Mossberg 500 and I do enjoy it, I always wear eye protection, even when using hand tools, mowers or edgers. Just habit.
I have this same stock on my 500 and I love it I shoot nothing but slugs and 00 buck through it and the recoil feels a little less than a 20ga with a light game and target load I can shoot it all day with no soreness in my shoulder and it really helps with firing from the hip as well
BOTACHTACTICAL sells the SpecOps recoil reducing stock for $99.99. They have a special package pricing if you choose to also get the PowerPak modular cheek piece accessory which consists of a raised and standard cheek pieces, a 5-shell holder, and a battery/storage compartment. I also got a 10% on-line discount coupon for the entire purchase. I'm not sure if they're still offering the 10% discount but you will know when you place your order!
CHEAPER THAN DIRT has this stock for less than 110 incl. shipping! well worth every penny!!! must have check out bclassfilms and my home made flame thrower
I got the SpecOps stock for $99.99 + S&H after shopping around the web. Some sites sell the same stock for as much as $150.00. It helps to look around first and compare prices.
The knoxx specops stock is the best shotgun accessory/upgrade anyone can buy! I have one on my 870 and I was able to shoot 50 slugs during one range session and felt no pain, soreness, or fatigue. I could have shot 50 more slugs if I had the ammo (or the money to buy more ammo). It is flat-out amazing... it really works!
Oh ok so you're one of those "not safe unless the book says it's safe" guys.
Yeah no it won't do any more damage than a ricochet.
I don't know about a deer's anatomy but I know about walls. I shot a 115 gr. +P .38 special at a cheap aluminum cabinet and barely put little craters in it.
But you're right a 12 gauge slug isn't much safer than a 9mm 147gr.
Actually strong have extremely unimpressive penetration ability. They're too wide and too soft. Sabot's are the way to go if you want to overpenetrate.
Somebody proved 9mm to penetrate better than 12 ga. slugs on a forum. I wish I had the link.
absolutely, 18 inch barrel. 7+1mag... I have a 500A which is exactly like this excep its a 5+1 mag. I suggest checking out a local gun show to pick one up. thats what I did
This may sound like a stupid question but I'm not a particularly strong guy and I wonder if I could handle a 12 gauge? Or is it the way you hold it and your stance?
Just got the NRS version, 12 gauge recoil doesn't bother me. The only drawbacks are the accessibility of the safety and the slide release with the stock on. how do you deal with it?
Almost like the barrel on a Browning Auto-5 except instead of just the barrel, the reciever and everything else in front of it recriprocates! Go0d one-hander to0. That's not easy to master. I've done it with a few pumps, autoloaders, and once with a side-by-side. Easiest to do with full pistol grip stock, but the humpback receiver on a Browning Auto-5 or Remington 11 kinda helps (but also kinda hurts).
its really nice how it reduce the recoil i just dont like the look i like the original stock look but cmon i know knoxx say about 95% of less recoil F***k the look give me one of those lol.
@jjones11479 if i was going to use this stock for phesant hunting and a bird flew out in front of me could i put the saftey off fast enough (i have small hands)
there is no chance of hitting that safety in a split second if you are down on that pistol grip. you would have to carry it somehow with your thumb ready to hit the switch.
The Advanced Technology Shotforce Deluxe Heatshield @ $24.99 from Cabelas. I it came with the ghost ring sites. . . but it isn't the best heat shield. It has two screws to pinch the barrel on the front, but then it is just 'slip fit'on the back. I am trying to figure out how to get a more positive grip on the back so it won't come loose (like some kind of hose clamp). You get what you pay for (i.e. this thing is cheap).
ATI Is not known for there quality, If you want GRS I would suggest saving your money and get a proper set. You can install the rear one yourself, a gunsmith is reccomended to instal the frontsight.
HollowGANtips88, why do you want you cheek completely off the the stock? you want to maintain a good cheek weld. I've heard the spec ops and ATI M4 style collapsible stock have too high comb for a proper sight picture with just a bead.
Slide release is a little awkward, definitely can't use it while the gun is shouldered ready to fire. When practicing 'switch to slug' drills, I have to lower the gun and adjust my grip.
Nice setup, my 500 w/ the cheapo ATI M4 stock bruised the hell out of my shoulder after just 50 rounds at the range, only 10 were 3" 00 Buck & the rest were 2 3/4" birdshot.
I was going to buy one of these stocks for my 590, but when I called a local dealer they said they had discontinued them. He told me the stocks weren't worth anything and that he(a tactical shotgun instructor)would never allow their(knoxx) products on his course.
He also seemed pretty prejudiced against my mossy, saying the 870 was the best pump gun.
That is surprising. That would be the first bad review I have heard about the stock. Most departments endorse the stock because it allows a lot more rounds to be fired per training session (people won't shy away from the recoil, consciously or unconsciously).
The 870 is a great gun, but when I went to choose, I felt that the Mossy was the best gun for the price (allowing me to use more budget for the upgrades I wanted).
Repeat after me: "anything that helps ME fire my weapon better is worth MY money if I feel it is needed". Any 'dealer' or 'instructor' that doesn't feel this way is a complete idiot. Yeah, alright, he may not agree that Knoxx stocks reduce recoil enough to warrant the high price tag but not allowing them to be used on his course? Seems like shoddy business practices to me. Some systems just work better for most people, discounting one system because it doesn't work for you is idiocy.

romack93 nailed it. if you hold it right, you dont get bruising either, or any pain. but the knoxx does cut a lot of the recoil regardless.

Awesome Video, I've been looking at the Knoxx Stock for a while now. Specially after firing OO Buck Magnum rounds.

The 00 magnums CAN leave a mark that is for sure! I like the Knoxx because you can shoot all day and not be sore.

Right on, I love mine. I can shoot slugs all day with the stock, and not go home with a sore shoulder.

Very much. It reduces the recoil quite a bit more than I expected. I also like the adjust-ability factor of the M4 style stock.
