CHughes Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Ordered and took delivery on a new Tac-14 Hardwood model that looks just like the Witness Protection models from years ago. Added a leather sling and she'll holder and makes a great bedside/trunk gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I am probably one of the loudest fans of the Tac-14 and the shockwave. Since their start I have been following Dave Suarez and his upgrades. Having played quite a bit with one, I can attest that they are plenty functional out of the box. That being said, the addition of rifle sights and barrel ports seem like a great added bonus for a minimal cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 From watching Dave Suarez, check the pattern on your chosen loads. The 14” does not pattern the same as a full size shotgun. I haven’t seen it done yet, but I wonder if there’s enough meat on the barrel to thread it for removable chokes??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm by no means a shotgun expert but I can't see why it couldn't be threaded I don't think I will go that route as I like the old school basic look as of now the only upgrades are a Nordic aluminum follower and the sling and shell carrier and a good cleaning and oiling with MilPro7.

Robocop1051 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I've seen a leather grip wrap out there. It was a nice touch of class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be on the Shockwave, with it's 590 barrel. Don't know on the Tac-14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Having shot your Shockwave... a lot... I don’t see an absolute “need” for a choke. Especially when “Flight Control” shells are available. Very tempted to buy a barrel porting jig. Although, for nearly the same cost, I could practically buy a complete barrel, with ports and rifle sights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
