    So the big question to me is how much do spare mags cost.

    Shockwave DM makes sense.

    The others offer a reduction in capacity for the most part.

    Id do a Shockwave DM... who has one!? :)

    FINALLY. I know some people hate mag-fed shotguns, but they're my thing. Tube-loading sucks. Assuming this is reliable (which I've heard that BAT guns aren't), I'm in for one. Factory mags mean a real standard, which means after-market. Definitely thinking the Tac-14 version SBS using a form 1. I guess I'd convert the old 870 to bullpup config and stash it with my folks.

    Also, is the latch release larger, or is that just my imagination? That would be a nice improvement.

    So just had time to look into this after the few days previous reveal emails leading up to last night. I my self have always been a Remington shotgun guy over mossy. Personal preference but a Mag fed pump... odd? Yes. Any opinion on a Mag fed semi that falls into the retail price of <$800 you guy would suggest.

    I don’t get it, I hope Remington can salvage themselves but it won’t be from guns like this. Beyond finding themselves along with a new CEO, quality control is their biggest hurdle to get buyers to return

    I like the idea that it keeps the weight away from the muzzle and should be easier to reload but why not jump directly into the mag fed semi market? This seems like a half measure...

    Yeah, I will not be lining up to buy this thing. Mag fed shotguns have feeding reliability to begin with, and on top of that, it is a pump. Too much to ask for Remington to design something from the ground up in a semi that is ground breaking. Innovation/invention is what brings in the money. Gimmicks to already existing products, meh.

    Atlantic sells an AR style 12 gauge that takes magazines. $600.

    If you like the look that's cool but it looks awkward as hell to me and it only adds a couple more rounds. Just put an extended tube on it and get the extra cap while maintaining the ergonomics

    Speaking as someone who owns both an 870 and a Saiga 12, I don't understand this criticism at all. Do people really find tube-fed guns all that smooth to use? Seems like the gross motor movement of slapping a stick mag in a magazine well is WAY easier and faster than trying to stuff a shell in a tube. I get that tube guns have their place in a hunting scenario where your magazine is limited and you may be changing ammo types semi-frequently, but I see only pluses for magazines pretty much everywhere else.

    My beef with the Saiga 12 is that rock-and-lock is a bit tricky on it... not that it takes sticks and drums.

    I know you hate arm braces per your signature but the SB Tactical works wonderfully on my Tac-14
