History of the Remington Tac-14| Buy Remington TAC-14 online
Buy Remington TAC-14 online. The Remington Tac-14 is originally released in late 2017 and while it hasn’t seen many productions in a few years, namely because of Remington’s bankruptcy and sale, it was a fan favorite upon release and continues to be in demand today.
The Remington Tac-14 really made a splash because it had all of the features of a Short Barrel Shotgun without all of the tax stamps and paperwork.
We will dive into what makes the Tac-14 legal in the next section but we hope that since Remington, now RemArms, is in new hands production of the Tac-14 and Tac-13 will soon pick back up!
Legalities of the Tac-14|
So how is the Remington Tac-14 not considered a short barrel shotgun with a 14″ barrel, you ask?
Well, it’s actually pretty simple.
Since the gun was never built with a stock it is not considered a shotgun, thus it cannot be a short barrel shotgun (SBS).
Shotguns by legal definition are designed to be fired from the shoulder and without a stock, this gun cannot be fired from the shoulder and thus barrel lengths do not apply.
Since pistols don’t have a barrel length required under federal law and can not be fired from the shoulder this gun is more of a pistol than a legally defined shotgun.
However, the overall length of the shotgun needs to remain longer than 26″ overall or it would fall into the any other weapon or “AOW” category of weapons.
Like SBR’s and SBS’s, AOW’s fall into the purview of the National Firearms Act, better known as the NFA. You can read way more about the NFA, SBR’s, and tax stamps in our Ulitmate Guide to Short Barrel Rifles.
State Laws
State laws are often wildly different than Federal Law and unfortunately for people living in the Peoples’ Republic of California and New Jersey, you are often left out of the freedom fun.
While we may come back in and dive into states that can’t possess right now we just recommend checking with local authorities on the legality of owning a Remington Tac-14 in your state. Buy Remington TAC-14 online
Features
Features are what makes guns what they are and the features are likely why you buy gun x over gun y so what are some of the features of the Tac-14?
Time to dive in!
Grip and Ergonomics
The grip of this gun is special for a few reasons.
It takes you back to that infamous scene in the movie Training Day where “the bitch”, which was a Mossberg 500 Crusier, was racked and used to kill poor drug dealing Roger.
But shorty shotguns are nothing new and they are incredibly useful. The grip is the bird’s head style grip. The Tac-14 comes in a few different models. Namely, there is wood furniture and synthetic furniture.
The birdhead grip really makes this gun a comfortable gun to hold in your dominant hand.
However, this isn’t a super-light gun and with all your ammo toward the front of the gun in the magazine tube, you probably won’t be holding this gun one-handed very long.
We will talk about one-handed shooting later in this review.
Pump Action
The action on the Tac-14 is one of the main functions of the gun. It’s how you load the gun with freedom seeds and the main operation of the gun.
The action is actually extremely smooth and overall it’s a positive experience. Buy Remington TAC-14 online
Trigger
The trigger on the Remington Tac-14 is surprisingly good. I’ve never found shotgun triggers to be amazing but for what it is it’s great!
The trigger doesn’t function much like a double-stage trigger. You don’t have much take up at all and the trigger basically starts at the wall.
With that being said it makes for an easy break and easy shooting.
Safety
The safety sits behind the trigger at the top of the trigger well. It’s in an okay spot but honestly, it’s not great for this style of gun and how you hold it.
There is no great place for a safety on a gun this small with this type of profile so while I don’t like the placement it does work.
There’s nothing really to report back on the functionality of the safety as it’s just a Remington 870 safety. It’s stiff but does the job.
Sling/Carry
Depending on how you use this gun you may want a sling to easily carry the gun around.
The gun is extremely compact and can be difficult to carry at times. A sling can be attached to the Tac-14.
The birdshead grip has a sling attachment and you can purchase a front sling mount which I will talk more about in the accessories section.
The synthetic model would allow you to attach an MLok sling attachment to the pump-action foregrip but would not allow for the front sling attachment method because the Magpul foregrip is in the way. Buy Remington TAC-14 online
