SB Tactical Kits for Remington & Mossberg Firearms
SB Tactical announced the company was now offering arm braces for the Remington TAC-14 and the Mossberg 590 Shockwave firearms. These two guns are similar to shotguns since they both fire shotgun shells, but have shorter barrels and other size specifications that make them plain firearms instead of shotguns or handguns.
SBM4
Two of the new SB Tactical braces are named the TAC14-SBM4 and the 590-SBM4 respectively. According to the company, they do not alter either firearm to create some other specific class of firearm. When assembled, both kits weigh 21 ounces and measure 10.25″ long.
SB Tactical uses 7075 aluminum as a receiver extension in these kits. The kits also come with an ERGO GRIPS Flat Top SUREGRIP, SBM4 pistol stabilizing brace and an appropriate ERGO GRIPS adaptor and castle nut.
Both kits are made in the United States of America. SB Tactical is already offering these arm brace kits on its website. Both versions carry a suggested retail price of $199.99. For me, the SB Tactical arm brace make the Shockwave and TAC-14 much more practical options for any kind of defensive use.
SBL
A lighter version of the arm brace is also offered for the Remington and Mossberg firearms. They are called the TAC14-SBL and the 590-SBL kits. They carry the same retail price and use similar components. However, SB Tactical replaces the SBM4 brace with a low profile SBL brace. This reduces the overall weight to 18.5 ounces.

If 50,000 SBR/SBS "Dreamers" put a rubber band or a piece of string on a conventional stock and made it their Facebook profile pic with the caption "This is a Pistol," the law would vanish instantaneously. "Unregistered NFA" would be as common as an "Undocumented Citizen" (i.e. on every block) and we could debate for decades on an appropriate "Path to Registration" while we work on repealing unconstitutional legislation.
It would be nice if this were indeed legal to do, considering all the alterations being made which seem to void the "manufactured as" exemption. Wonder if they got an advance ruling from ATF or are just throwing it out there to leave it to their customers to litigate. Meanwhile, Remington now offers a box magazine fed 870 provided in all its hunting, home defense and tactical configurations including the Shockwave. The magazine holds 6 so with one in the chamber, the Shockwave can now start with 7 rounds inside with an additional 6 quickly available with a fast mag swap. Starting to get interesting. Certainly way easier to stow and/or carry than the huge and heavy double tube and barrel contraptions like the DP-12 which at best hold only 3 more rounds if I am reading the specs right. And that of course is before people come out with 8,10, or 12 round magazines for it.
