Frequently Asked Questions

What tools are needed to install the Blackhawk SpecOps shotgun stock?

You will need a long-handled large flathead screwdriver, a vise with padded jaws, a Phillips head screwdriver (or Brownells' extra-long Phillips bit), a hex wrench, and a Brownells forend wrench for installation.

How do you safely remove the old shotgun stock?

First, ensure the shotgun is completely unloaded. Then, remove the butt pad, unscrew the stock screw with a long flathead screwdriver, and carefully remove the old stock.

Slide the buttstock onto the stock tube while pulling straight down on the adjustment lever. Once positioned, release the lever to secure it.
