Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Remington 870 TAC-14 legal to own as a short-barreled shotgun?

The Remington 870 TAC-14 is legal to own without a tax stamp because it features a 14-inch barrel combined with a Raptor grip instead of a conventional buttstock. This configuration results in an overall length that does not classify it as a short-barreled rifle or shotgun under NFA regulations.

What are the key features of the Magpul forend on the Remington 870 TAC-14?

The Magpul forend on the TAC-14 includes hand stops at both ends to secure your grip during operation. It also features M-LOK slots, allowing for the direct attachment of accessories like lights or lasers without the need for additional rail sections.

How does Remington recommend managing recoil on the 870 TAC-14?

Remington recommends using their Managed Recoil buckshot loads for the TAC-14. These loads fire eight pellets of double-aught buckshot at 1,200 feet per second, significantly reducing felt recoil by approximately 30% compared to standard hunting loads.

What is the spread pattern of the Remington 870 TAC-14?

The Remington 870 TAC-14 has a cylinder bore, which results in a spread pattern of about 1.5 inches for every yard. This makes it well-suited for defensive shooting at close to moderate ranges.
