Found a great deal and couldn’t resist, especially with the $50 rebate. Anyone mounted a light yet? I’d love to see pics. Anyone found a oversized safety? Need to place an order for the GGG handle and release. Was initially thinking about the rail as well but will probably hold off until Mesa releases a LEO adapter. Have one on another 870 and love it. |

I have the charging handle on order and the bolt release, neither have arrived.
I did shoot them an email last week asking for an ETA, I was told the bolt releases are ready but the charging handles were a week out. In other words, probably shipping sometime this week. I hope. |

My charging handle showed up today. Going to install it tonight.
Eta - got it installed. Looks good. My Tac-13 still doesn’t charge very smoothly, but it’s a lot easier to get a hold of. Attached File Attached File |

Anyone setup a light on theirs yet? I have a TLR-1HL setup on the left side along with a pressure pad on the handguard. Not sure if I should ditch that and get the new GG&G rail + WML combo. That looks pretty sweet but you'll have to extend your thumb pretty far forward to engage the light. With the pressure pad, the switch is right there where my hand grips the forend naturally...
Hmm... |
|
I just used a piece of pic rail and some chicago screws and some careful measuring and drilling to install my Protac. Used a Haley Strategic thorntail 2 rail mount to get it exactly where I wanted it.
This makes life easy when during breakdown of the gun for cleaning. As the light and pressure switch are mounted to the forearm and don't have to be unscrewed. 
That said, the GG&G rail will make life much easier for folks to use whatever light and mount combo they choose. |

Don't know if anyone else has a GG&G saddle, installed their V3-T13 version - shells are way too tight - I get the need for them to stay put, but it's a struggle to pop them out and that's with me looking at the saddle (as opposed to a target/threat) and in as calm a setting as possible - can only imagine what a high stress situation would be like GG&G won't even return my call, so a little burnt on that as well |
|
Update on the GG&G saddle - GG&G said seat rounds fully into it and let it sit for a week - there are rubber "gaskets" for lack of a better term, that should reform to some degree. The rubber component of the GG&G saddle is removable, so you can mod it if needed. Moving on...someone posted a video on a Fostech something or other in the shotgun space - damn it, just when I thought my forearm OCD-ness was cured.. |
|
So, I drank the kool aid. Palmetto had one and only one in stock. It has the red aluminum shell follower. Let the mods begin. Seriously considering paying the man and putting a stock on it. In the mean time I going to get an SBA3 for it. Check this out. Suarez International |

so I discovered the grip plug is missing from my Tac13. I contacted Remington and they do not come with a grip plug even though I've seem video of the Tac13 with a plug. I was told the plug would migrate out during rapid fire so the eliminated it. So on a firearms which they list MSRP as $900 they can't find a way to secure a .50 cent plastic plug which Shockwave sells for $4 . 
I said thanks I'll order an aftermarket one and glue it in place.

The regular V3 stock looks a little long and I cannot find the reduced length / youth stock for sale. If the angle is not too weird the Magpul may be the ticket. |

Suarez International did a fantastic job on the SB Tactical Tac-13 brace package. The Magpul MOE AK grip feels good in the hand and the SOB brace performs exceptionally well.
Put a total of around 88 rounds through it - 50 slugs comprised of reduced recoil and high velocity, 25 rounds of 00 buck, both low recoil and normal velocity, plus 13 rounds of sport target loads. The Tac-13 ran everything, except for the 00 buck, which prevented the bolt from going into battery. Had the same issue with my M4 SBS, seems like any ammo under 1200fps doesn’t have enough energy to properly cycle, but I’ll test more buckshot during my next range trip. While the brace is a bit pricy, I must admit that it significantly enhances the Tac-13’s effectiveness. It transforms an otherwise limited use firearm, into a top performer for HD or truck duty, best of all, no NFA restrictions to deal with.

The NFA paperwork does not bother me and I can pay the $200 tax stamp and buy the factory stock parts for less than the price of the Suarez brace.
But it does look cool on your gun and I can see how a folder would be nice. Speaking of that what is the overall length of yours with the Suarez brace folded? It looks like it might be under 26" overall? |

Yea, I’ve been down the NFA road a few times and will continue to add items as funds permit. However, the Tac-13 w/brace is a serious contender to an SBS and after shooting it side-by-side with my M4 Entry, I no longer have a desire to convert my Tac-13 into an SBS. My Tac-13 is lighter, shorter and every bit as comfortable to shoot than my M4. Some ghost ring sights would be nice though, because the brace drop isn’t angled down enough to align your eyes on the same level plane with the front sight bead. All things created equal within the performance arena, and as it pertains to HD or truck companion, there’s still some tangible benefits by NOT going the NFA route. For instance, no BATFE permission needed to cross state lines and if I visit family/friends within my state, I don’t need to be concerned about restricted storage requirements or who can be in possession of it. |

I just noticed that they have a folding hinge and grip package available separately, without a brace. |

I can get Four 3 inch 00 buck 15 pellet shells in the mag tube one on the lifter and one in the chamber for 6 total 3 inch shells. 2 3/4 I can get 5 in the tube 1 on the lifter and 1 in the chamber for a total of 7 in the gun. Nice

Never been a fan of the Choate stuff. Cheap crap.
It’d be interesting to see if this is indeed simply an 870 Choate setup. If so then I’m betting Suarez is raping people, based on his reputation. Might be entertaining to find out more |

Definitely looks like a Choate folding adapter thats being used in the Tac-13 package, along with a SB Tactical brand brace and Magpul MOE AK pistol grip. Not sure where the receiver extension and castle nut comes from though. I’ve only got <100 rounds thus far, but the brace seems rock solid and the folding mechanism is easy to operate, with positive open and folded locks.
I suppose it’s fair to say that Suarez, being the only company to have a brace option for the Tac-13, is making a nice profit. But, that’s ok, nobody’s arm is being twisted to buy it and quite frankly, they should rack up some profit on a one off item. I have no experience with the 870 setup, but if someone wants to inform me on what to look for, I’d be happy to take mine apart to confirm. |
