It works. That's what SB Tactical is using for their Tac 14 kits. Mesa ones work as well, but are offered in aluminum for a heftier price.

Tacfire is pretty nice for the money. It's some where between Ergo and Mesa. Made out of cast alluminum. Also has two QD mounts.

For those of you asking about slings, the US Marshals used to use an M1 carbine sling on their "witness protection" guns, like so...
Attachment Attached File


They deployed them in this manner...

The key to this system was the design of the sling. The designers utilized an M1 Carbine sling with a quick-release snap that was mounted to the hand stop. The shotgun could be slung under a jacket in an upside-down configuration. To present the shotgun, the user would grasp the forend with his or her support hand, reach across their body and unsnap the sling. This freed the shotgun, and the support hand pulled the gun from under the jacket for a reasonably efficient presentation.

That's very nice. Tell me about that wood grip? I am thinking about making a similar one from an old 870 police stock. I'm not a fan of the birch stained to resemble walnut. (Just let it be birch. Birch is beautiful.)

Look at this picture. To avoid having a gaping hole in the grip, it looks like the WP870s had a plug glued in. It would retain the loose grip bolt. The plug itself was bored through with a small hole to allow a skinny turnscrew to access the slot in the bolt head.

I wish I could find that black sling like in the pic. There are no black usgi carbine slings to my knowledge. It must have been patterned off the carbine slings for commercial use. I know a regular carbine slings works, but I want it black

Notice how that one in the picture is also nylon and doesn't have any metal ends on it. Weird sling. Probably could just buy the snap alone, the snap setting tool and some nylon webbing or a nylon sling. The m1 carbine sling was 1" I believe.

Affermative.... sling is 1"

Now, one COULD go thru the trouble of sourcing black nylon, the proper buckle, a lift the dot fastener and proper setting die... for how much?  A repro carbine sling is $15... plus a couple of bucks in Rit dye...

I'm keeping mine green... gives it more of a retro look IMHO

No mods to share, but I thought I’d say that I took my 20gauge Tac-14 rabbit hunting last weekend and ended up shooting three rabbits with it.

I’m usually the one that dives into the pricker bushes and heavy brush to jump the rabbits, and it was perfect for this as the Tac-14 is close to 2’ shorter than the gun I usually drag through the brush (a youth 20gauge 870).

It's a surprisingly slick setup.  The gun fits like a glove... the outside pouch holds 15 extra shells... and you could walk thru Walmart carrying it and not raise an eye!

XS sights makes a tritium big dot that epoxies on top of the existing sight. Info available here.

Suarez International offers a fiber optic option on their Amphibian 12 version of the Tac 14. They may be willing to install it on your barrel; but, Suarez has a bad reputation for customer service.

Failing that, I'd email Tru Glo.

I forgot about Wilson Combat. They offer Shotgun customization services including adding a fiber optic sight to a 14 inch barrel. I would go here before Suarez!

I literally just got this. https://www.brownells.com/shooting-accessories/slings-sling-swivels/shotgun-sling-mounts/remington-sling-mount-prod12519.aspx

I knocked the BB out so that it would fit correctly over the extension tube and allow the extension to twist on the threads. It fits exactly as the sideways plate.  Very happy with it.

LOL Yes. It's an SBS without the gov't involvement, for all intents and purposes. I've got a shockwave that's essentially the same, except I put an SBA4 sto- I mean "brace" on it before the SBA3 released, and it's cerakoted. My TAC 14 has a folding brace, and is the marine electroless nickle version.

Can anyone comment how these shoot with a brace?

It is somewhat manageable?

Is there serious bruising or skin damage?

I’m used to shooting pistol grip 12 gauges by using a very firm grip on the fore end.
