Frequently Asked Questions

What is the C-More M26 MASS?

The C-More M26 MASS (Modular Accessory Shotgun System) is a 12-gauge manual-action shotgun designed primarily as an underbarrel attachment for rifles like the M4 and M16. It originated from a US Army development project and features a unique breaching standoff and optional hydraulic recoil reduction stock.

What are the civilian configurations of the M26 shotgun?

Civilian versions of the M26 shotgun are available, including the M26 PDW-M1, which is classified as an Any Other Weapon (AOW) under NFA regulations due to its short barrel and lack of a stock, requiring a $5 tax stamp. Other configurations may fall under Short Barreled Shotgun (SBS) rules.

How does the M26 shotgun reduce recoil?

The M26 shotgun, particularly standalone versions like the CMCS-M1, can be equipped with a specialized hydraulic buttstock. This stock is engineered to absorb a significant portion of the recoil impulse, making the 12-gauge platform more manageable and comfortable for the shooter.

What is the breaching feature on the M26?

The M26 shotgun incorporates an integrated, spring-loaded standoff device on its muzzle. This feature is designed for breaching doors or barriers, allowing the shotgun to be fired at extremely close range without damaging the barrel while ensuring reliable cycling.
