Tac 14

[eruby]

It’s been awhile since I got mine but I recall it falling under firearm and had a 7 day wait.

Thank you.

Just as I suspected, Maryland says it's a 'firearm', but still forces you to have an HQL.

How is the Tac 14 sold in Maryland? Is it not a handgun, even though one needs an HQL? Is it sold as a 'firearm' and thus the Federal > 26" comes into play?

Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to understand.

MD treats Shockwaves as handguns; they're listed on the roster.

Here's more info about the Shockwaves:

So, if the tac 14 and mossberg shockwave transfer as a pistol in MD does that mean that I can put a pistol grip stock on it and not use the handle grip?

The TAC-14 is not a pistol and is not transferred as a pistol, even remmington doesn't call it a pistol. It is an "other" firearm.

^^ This is true, but in Maryland, you must have an HQL.

Unless you buy a pistol grip only (from the factory) mossberg 590 and buy the 14" front end kit and build the shockwave yourself. Only way I get one with no HQL.

Then either keep or sell the barrel and mag tube/spring from the 18/20 inch front end to someone who wants to home defense their field mossberg.

I have a Tac-14, Mossberg Shockwave is the better of the two due to the ergonomics.

Lots of them got done this way before the factories decided to make them. Shockwave published a list of parts needed from Mossberg. They were easy, since they had a ton of PGO Cruiser guns already in circulation, and the short front end parts came from their LEO catalog.

Yup...I was asking Chad about them when he worked at Scott's and they were cash and carry, and before they became an hql required firearm. There's s thread I started about shockwaves before they were a thing. Somebody owes me one!
The 20 gauge Chad did was sweet...one handed shot and he says "pussycat" about its recoil in a video. I have the parts list written down for when I get the donor gun. Prices and availability are screwed now so more waiting.

Federally, it is a "firearm"
In Maryland in is a "pistol"

it must meet both federal and state laws to be legal.

The founding fathers would be ashamed of us.

The tough part is finding a 14" front end, or finding one that is not outrageously priced.

This is too true.

Mossberg used to sell all the parts directly. Price wasn't too bad, although it ends up being a lot more than just buying a Shockwave.

I have been told that those parts are not for sale.

Call them and see. A few years ago they were fine with selling them.

 

[Alphabrew]

I bought a Mossberg 92514 SBS conversion kit, think it was $200. Might be hard to find in stock now.

Only because we are complying
