On Clearance: TAC-12 "M3 Super 90"

[VvVOsirisVvV]

Got the Super 90 to the range for the first time today. Put about 15 rounds through it. Mix of 1 oz slugs and some birdshot. It cycled both no
problem.

However after 15 rounds I ran into an issue. The cocked hammer indicator had completely retreated into the reciever. This cause the load gate to be stuck and the not open.

When I got home and disassembled I found some pieces of plastic in the back of the reciever behind the bolt. It looks as though the pieces broke off from the trigger assembly. I assume this is what caused the hammer indicator to fail.

If anyone is willing to post a pic of their trigger group I would appreciate it just to see what it looked like before.

I have contacted TI about this and am confident they will take care of it but I'm not thrilled that it failed like this after less than one box of shells.

I realize this is not going to be the same quality as a Benelli and acquired it as something to tinker with.

How do you disassemble the magazine tube? Just trying to cycle in both semi and pump with some snap caps and they won't feed from the tube. Now

they're seemingly stuck in there.

The problem is your plastic Snap-Caps. I have the identical Snap Caps and they are oversized to fit in most tubular magazines. Your best bet may be to work the point of a sturdy knife under the plastic rim and pry them out of the magazine one at a time. Your other option is to take a stiff shotgun cleaning rod and jam it down the front end of the Mag Tube, using built-up spring pressure in the Magazine Tube to force the rounds back out of the Tube. Either way, you are going to have to remove those rounds one at a time by yourself as there is no method to disassemble the Magazine Tube other that to unscrew it from the Shotgun's Receiver. I believe that the Magazine Tubes are press-fit, or at the very least Loc-Tited into position, so difficult to disassemble at the best of times - even with all of the correct equipment...

I got them out. Turns out I don't know how to operate this shotgun.

So, if I understand this correctly, installing an M3-style barrel and dual action bars onto a non-restricted M1-pattern receiver doesn't change its classification, because the receiver is what determines the firearm's legal status?

If that's true, it seems like there's an opportunity for more manufacturers to follow the same approach. For example, the SPAS-11 is non-restricted, while the functionally very similar SPAS-12 is prohibited. It makes you wonder whether similar designs could become available under the same principle.

I also did a bit of research and found that the TAC-M3 from Adrenaline Arms (made by Oguz, which is also the OEM for Sulun Arms) appears to have received a non-restricted FRT entry (#198626). That suggests the RCMP has already approved this configuration.

Anyone know which stocks other than the black aces one are compatible?
