Blackhawk! Knoxx Adjustable Recoil Reducing Stock and Forend Review

This is review about one of the most popular recoil reducing stocks for Remington 870. It is Knoxx Adjustable stock.
They come in black or orange “less-lethal” color. And also Knoxx Stocks are about two time less expensive compared to other recoil-reducing solutions for the Remington 870 shotgun. For example, Mesa Tactical Recoil Reducing kit for Remington 870 costs about $260 compared to $115 for the Knoxx Stock (with free forend included).

Knoxx Tactical Forend

Knoxx Tactical Forend is a really good bonus and it is very useful. Knoxx forend is built of light-weight polymer
and has integrated texture grooves. It is much more convenient than a standard Remington forend. Another advantage and useful feature of the Knoxx Tactical Forend is that even if it pulled back you still have access to magazine tube.

I really like how it feels when you hold this forend, it is not some kind of cheap plastic which can hurt your skin when you reload your shotgun, it is not too hard and it is very convenient to reload the shotgun. Also, I really like the ergonomic texture grooves which guarantee that you will be able to reload your shotgun even if your hands are wet.

Attention: You will not be able to use 6-Round or 8-Round receiver mount side saddle with Knoxx Forend.

Knoxx Recoil Reducing Stock

Knoxx stock has a lot of advantages compared to other stocks:
1. Stock is adjustable. You can adjust it as you wish and it will be comfortable for people
with long hands and with shorter hands. For example, you do not need to install youth
stock on your home defense shotgun and then change it to a standard one when you go hunting.

2. It has dual Knoxx recoil compensating systems and greatly reduce the felt recoil.

3. The installation is very easy.

4. It is built of high-quality materials and there are thousands of users which use Knoxx stocks for years.

5. Can be used in all weather conditions.

6. Pistol grip. Very good option for home defense / tactical shotguns.

Use of Knoxx Adjustable Recoil Reducing Stock with Oversized Safeties

Warning: Knoxx Adjustable Recoil Reducing Stock can’t be used with Vang Oversized Safety because it will damage the stock and may injure shooter or somebody close to the shooter.

I have sent a question about oversized safeties to Blackhawk! and received following answer:

“The only over sized safety we recommend is the Wilson Combat Safety that you can purchase through scattergun technologies.”
It is now sold as Tactical Response Jumbo Head Safety by Scattergun Technology.

Why Choose Knoxx Stock?

I have spent a lot of time searching for different options of the recoil reducing stocks for my Remington 870.
When I saw a photo of Knoxx stock I really liked it but it seemed to me that the thin part of the stock doesn’t look
reliable. But when I received my stock I understood that it is more durable than I thought. The stock is made of thick
plastic and looks very reliable.

Some shooters say that they don’t like Knoxx stock because it has moving parts which can be broken BUT Blackhawk! guys say that internal springs have a 30,000 round life expectancy and knowing that you don’t need to worry about anything.
