If you are a serious
professional and need a shotgun
for specialized applications,
then look no further. If you are
a civilian who wants the best
defense shotgun available, then
look no further. We build our
Tactical Shotguns with one thing
in mind, and that is to provide
the end user a well thought out
platform that will meet their
individual need. No one offers
the options that we do on our
shotguns. Whether it is a
shotgun with breaching device
designed to blow door locks, or
one designed to keep a load of
buckshot within a pie plate at
25 yards, we we build you a
shotgun to meet your every
requirement.
We begin with the tried and
true Remington 870 3-inch
Magnum. The 870 is America's
favorite pump shotgun, and for
good reason, it performs every
time. Every action is then honed
to smooth it out and make it
faster to operate.
It is a tried and true
Remington 870 chambered for 3
inch magnums. It is also easy to
train other personnel on its
use. Nothing outside of
explosives is more lethal than a
shotgun at close to medium
ranges. There are several
configurations in our line to
choose from that have been
outfitted to work in various
environments.
CUSTOM FEATURES
SIGHTS
The rear sight is a fully protected ghost ring that is adjustable for windage and elevation. There are hash marks on the sight which will allow you to make changes and redial back to your original settings without guess work.
You have a choice on the front sight of either a red fiber optic or a $35.00 upgrade to tritium. Those who like to take shotgun training classes will appreciate the fiber optic for quick acquisition. We have the barrel band style as well as soldered, so if you have a preference, please let us know at the time of order.
A picatinny rail is also an option for those who prefer electronic sights. We stock the newest Aimpoint scopes, including the new small T 1 that runs five years on one battery, or the newest full size Comp M4 that will give 7 to 10 years life on one AA Battery!

STOCKS
After testing many of the available stocks on the market we chose the Hogue
Rubber OverMolded stocks hands down. They feel like they grab you back when you
pick one up. We don't think that there is a better stock out available, and once
you feel one, we are convinced that you will feel the same way. If you needing a
shorter stock, Hogue offers a 12" version which we will use at no extra cost.
If you prefer more versatility than a conventional fixed stock offers, we offer
a very rugged collapsible stock that is made for shotguns. It will not fit an AR
platform. It has the traditional five positions and includes storage tubes on
both sides for carrying additional batteries. It has a Hogue Rubber OverMolded pistol grip on it. If you are a little bit
recoil sensitive, or if you are taking a class where you will be shooting
several hundred rounds in a few days, you might consider the optional hydraulic
recoil buffer by ITT Industries. They are rated at a 70% recoil reduction when
extended to full length.

SHOTSHELL CARRIERS
Probably the first thing you will notice after you admire the finish is our side shell carrier. We say that because there is no need to remove it to read the serial numbers. It is made from a one piece aluminum billet that is hard
anodized to military spec. (no more fear of plastic cracking if left in direct sunlight). They are available in
your choice of four or six round configurations.
BIG DOME SAFETY
Never worry about having to make sure you push the safety off in a rush situation. The Big Dome Safety makes taking the gun to a ready-to-fire condition almost automatic. When you push your finger into the trigger guard, the dome is high enough to actuate the safety in one fast, smooth move.

QUICK RELEASE SLING SWIVELS
Shotgun and rifle slings can be a very personal choice, and we will not even pretend to tell you which one to use. Some users had rather not have one at all. On our collapsible stocks, there will already be a quick-release sling swivel slot. If you would like to have a sling mount, then get the optional barrel clamp and we will include two quick release sling swivels along with the shotgun.
TACTICAL SHOTGUN LIGHT
There are several different ways to mount a light on a shotgun, and we offer
them all. One idea is to install a barrel clamp that includes a sling swivel on
one side and a Surefire Z-2 Combat Light on the other side using a picatinny
rail. We also offer the traditional Surefire Forend that has the built in light,
but if you attend a shotgun class that requires shooting 200 to 300 rounds, you
are really going to be in for a surprise because it gets pretty uncomfortable.
We offer both though, so take your pick.
VANG COMP SYSTEM (VCS)
The Vang Comp System is well known in the law enforcement community. It is a
patented method where the forcing cone is lengthened, and the barrel is
back-bored. In addition, the barrel is ported to reduce recoil. If you would
like to include this in your shotgun build we will be happy to accommodate you.
Just allow an extra two weeks to the build time.
As you can see, we did our homework before we entered the tactical shotgun arena. We believe we have the best, and most complete list of options offered by anyone, anywhere. If you have an idea on how we can improve anything, or you would like another custom feature, we would love to hear from you. You are what has made us successful and we value your ideas.

5.11 Tactical Shotgun Case: $99.95
When you make an investment
in a custom firearm, it only
makes sense to provide good
protection for it during
transport. 5.11 Tactical is the
brand preferred by most
professionals, and we know the
quality is first rate. That's
the reason we decided to have
them make our shotgun cases.
