The fact that it feeds itself does make it a more risky weapon. If someone isn't in solid control of the gun it can absolutely go runaway on them...and given how many times I've seen someone's off hand come clean off the gun on a normally stocked shotgun I can see the same thing happening with disastrous consequences on the semi-auto version of this thing.Originally Posted by JHC
That strap on the handguard is not optional.

Input on them seems mixed. They seem to have a better track record than the Mossberg 930 (I've had exactly one 930 that works properly in class) but I've still seen plenty of reliable reports of issues with guns that would make me choose something else.

It's been a couple of pages since someone mentioned that this needs to be done to a Browning A5 or Remington 11.
So, this needs to be done to a Browning A5 or Remington 11.

I'm fuzzy on the regs, would that be manufacturing a Short-Barreled Shotgun, or an Any Other Weapon? Or a Destructive Device?
Or is that one of the things that depends on which ATFE rep you get, on which day of the week?

I think he means that a manufacturer needs to make them new. If it's on a virgin receiver it can be done legally. If it's ever had a stock attached then it's a shotgun and can't have less than an 18" barrel without a stamp. So I can't buy a model 11 at a pawn shop and do this without paperwork. But if Remington were to crank out new model 11's and make "firearms" in the same style as the tac-13 that would be OK.
I think sarco had some virgin A5 or M11 receivers up for sale recently.
I believe they need a spring in the buttstock to work though. So it can only get whippet short which can be done legally now.
I wonder if these receivers are compatible with 870 furniture. This gun + tax stamp + Magpul SGA = a pretty sweet SBS setup.....provided it runs.

Agreed. No doubt there's some new skills required to operate something like this safely and effectively, but I still think the potential is worth the time and effort to master it.
