compstock ??'s

[jp 19]

anybody have the BlackHawk Knoxx CompStock?
I prefer the traditional style stock... does it work as well
as the special ops? is it a short LoP? do they now put a sling
stud on it? is the fore end the shorter type?
This would be for a remy 870.

thanks

It does not work like the SpecOps and does not take as much recoil as the SpecOps. The comp stock has only one cam system in it. The SpecOps has a cam spring in the pistol grip and a spring in the stock tube so it has two recoil reduction systems.

The SpecOps adjust for length of pull. The Comp stock does not. The comp stock is a little more difficult to shoot and you really have to keep your face back at the rear of the stock as it will pull face hair out like a pair of tweezers.

I don't know if it comes with that Black Hawk forend or not. It is not a very good forend and I am stuck with about 50 of them and can't even sell the crap things for $10 on GB.

That's kind of a bummer. I like the more traditional/sturdy "look," too, but if it just doesn't work as well, so be it. Sounds like it'll be a SpecOps stock, for me.
