Brilliant response! "Sorry buddy, only what you see."
 
so you specifically mention the shorty shells in your opener and a few of us have asked about this as they are notoriously problematic, but no reply to this? orprice, availability...
 
There shouldn't be any issues running short shells in the Tac 14, Its the same action as any other 870. I run the short shells (00 buck and slug) in my 8.5" 870 and 18.5" 870, aswell as my KSG and have had zero issues.
 
I have tried shorty shells in several Rem 870s .... including my Tac-14 build ... and they do not cycle reliably!!!

However, I have figured out a trick ... and with this little trick they do cycle reliably .... however, cycling is much slower ... :-(

You rack the forend back ... and which will eject your fired shell and release a new shell from the mag tube.
You then turn your 870 upside down ... and rack your forend forward.

It works ... but you will not win a speed record ....

Do those Tac-14 have dimples in the mag tube?
I guess my question is if one has to remove the dimples first and in order to be able to install a +1 extension?

The one I had my hands on had dimples... mine should be arriving any day now, I’ll let you know

Hmmmmmmmmmm ...... something does not smell right ....

"Holds 6+1 short/mini/shorty shells. Will hold additional round with +1 extension."

  • So, yes a Tac-14 can hold 6 short/mini/shorty shells in the mag tube ...... but you cannot cycle those shorties reliably!!!! :(
  • And, yes you can add a +1 extension ..... but what good is a +1 extension if the mag tube has dimples ... and I will not be able to get an extra round into the mag tube???? :(


Now, please, please, please, please .... tell me that I do not void my warranty by removing the dimples from my mag tube?

that was my fear on shorty shells which is why I was shocked it is what the'experts' decide to use to highlight this item which is something that truly does NOT work reliably...gotta question NS on this one but dont hold your breath on an answer
