    This isn't even on their website, yet. Is it available anywhere? My searches have found nothing.

Hi folks, Paul Carlson from Safety Solutions Academy. Today, I'm coming to you from the NRA annual convention for the personal defense network. We're here at the Black Hawk booth taking a look at the new SpecOps KnoxxStock. This is a version three. If you're familiar with tactical shotguns you're probably familiar with the recoil reducing properties of the KnoxxStock. There's a spring cam system in generations one, two, and now generations three that helps to absorb a tremendous amount of the recoil of shotguns. What's neat about the generation three version that I have here in my hand is it's now a two-stage system. The spring and cam have moved up from the grip, into the top, compressed in this little area in front of the buffer tube. This is a standard commercial buffer tube. And in the back, we've got that second stage of recoil reduction. This stock performs at a much higher level of recoil reduction than any of the other KnoxxStocks previous to it. Lot of great features, included are quick release sling mounts. You've got those there, adjustability, six positions in the stock, so you can get it to fit you just how you need to. And you've got the nice quality swells and the grips that make it comfortable to hold. If you run a shotgun, whether it's a tactical shotgun or maybe even a hunting shotgun, two to three quarters, three inch, or even three and a half, this stock will do a great job of reducing the recoil. In addition to the stock itself that comes in a set with a fore-end, fore-end has some nice features, including a picatinny rail that comes with it. So you can have some mounting options, both sides, for whatever accessories you want to put on your shotgun. The fore-end has been extended, but Black Hawk has been smart about it and extended the fore-end forward, as opposed to the rear. That way you've got the ability to still run side saddles and other accessories on the receiver of the shotgun without getting in the way. If you want a shotgun for self protection, home defense or maybe even on duty, you want to take a look at the KnoxxStocks. This generation three, again, is a significant recoil reducer over previous models. You're gonna be impressed.
