INSTALLATION STEPS:
1. Remove original stock. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions for the best method to remove
stock. Normally the pad is held in place by two Phillips screws and the stock is held on by one
bolt. Remove the pad by unscrewing the Phillips screws and remove the stock bolt to free the
stock from the shotgun. (Fig. 1) Remington owners: Remove any metal spacers from the back of
the receiver.
MAINTENANCE:
Maintenance: Do not attempt to disassemble or adjust any of the recoil
mechanisms. The internal springs have a 30,000+ round life expectancy
and should not require adjustment of any kind.
As part of regular weapon maintenance apply a small amount of "plastic
safe" lubricant (not WD-40) to metal surfaces. Very little lubrication is
required so use sparingly (1-2 drops). Do not apply lubricants to other
areas of the stock. Stocks subjected to extremes in humidity, sand, dust,
or temperature should be cleaned regularly (Use compressed air if avail-
able) and lubricated with the appropriate lubricants for the environment.
If the stock is submersed in saltwater, it should be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water and dried thoroughly (Use compressed air if available). The
exterior of the stock may be wiped clean with a cloth and cleaning prod-
ucts safe for plastics.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BLACKHAWK! SPECOPS FOLDER:
Your BLACKHAWK! stock should only be used with the specific shotgun
for which it was designed. Before installing your new stock, be sure that
your gun is unloaded and follow the assembly instructions provided with
this product. Check all functions of your gun after the stock is installed. If
you do not feel competent to check the proper function yourself have
your gunsmith check this for you. Finally, it is important to test-fire the
gun after installation, but before using it in the field to be certain it func-
tions properly and you can handle the gun safely.
All firearms are potentially dangerous; their improper use may cause
great harm, personal injury or death. It is your responsibility to know the
safe use, procedures and operation of your firearm, and to store, handle,
and transport your firearm safely. Proper training is available through
accredited firearms safety training programs.
