I'll try to answer both questions...
The differences between the COPStock Folder and SpecOps Folder are primarily cosmetic. They both use the same mechansim and will reduce recoil to the same degree. The new stock is being introduced due to manufacturing needs. We are basing all of our products on the SpecOps platform and the COPstock is on a different mold. It is more cost-effective to run one part many times than two parts fewer times.
As to the sling stud on the CompStock...That goes back to the early days before Knoxx. The inventor of all of this technology didn't want to build it. He licensed the CompStock to Hogue. They made the tooling, but changed the design of the mechansim. They replaced the cam-lever with a piece of chain. This reduced the effectiveness of the system and sales were poor. The position of the sling stud hole was set by Hogue and built into the tooling. When the inventor decided to go into the manufacturing business, we bought the rights back, along with the tooling. We put the cam-lever back in which made the sling stud hole unusable. The cost to retool is far beyond reasonable for such a little item. I am confident that once you shoot your CompStock, you will forgive this minor issue.
Good shooting,
