I read somewhere (can't remember where) that an oversized safety can't be used with the Spec Ops stock on an 870. Is this correct? Can the stock be modified to allow use of the oversized safety?
I have the Vang large safety that I really like and would hate to take it off.

Sorry Cactus. The Big Head or oversized safety would crash into the pistol grip and smash it to pieces. It might also cause injury to you or someone standing nearby. When you fire a shotgun equipped with a SpecOps (or COPstock Folder) the entire shotgun moves rearward about 1.25 inches. The trigger guard retacts about half way into the grip and that is the part where the big head safety causes the problems. It all happens very quickly, and no, you can't get your finger smashed by the trigger guard. The stock cannot be modified to make it work with the Big Heads. It's the only sacrifice you have to make to end painful recoil. That's fair.
