SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 All of these problems you guys are having resulting from modifications to the 1919 really make me glad I decided to keep mine 100% stock. As to date I have had zero problems and zero issues with mine. I am still waiting for some sound evidence to prove that an upgraded gun shoots any better than a stock one. Seeing how all the upgrades are purely cosmetic I don't see it happening. Well, I got to get back to counting all the money I have saved from staying stock .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james lambert 3,059 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 A stock gun works quite well for what it was intended to do. The mods we all make are to allow for personal preferences or for 922r compliance and competition uses. You can rock all day with a stock gun, lots of folks do!

Syndicate 812 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I feel you messiah, for me a lot of it was having a stock to stow items, and that wasn't gummy rubber and a pistol grip that was the same as many of my other firearms. Also the rails, being able to put an optic and flip up sights that do not have to be constantly removed when breaking down the weapon is convenient, but I totally understand where you are coming from on keeping it stock and have wanted a 2nd for exactly that to be honest. Can I borrow some of that money? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm very happy with this one "as is". Cant really see the point of sinking anymore cash into it. I hope some where down the line some american manufacture actually makes a shotgun like this. There seems to be a growing demand for tactical semi-auto mag fed shotguns. How sweet would it be if Colt made something like this. HEY COLT, DID YOU HEAR ME ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis 38 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I hope some where down the line some american manufacture actually makes a shotgun like this. The TAC-12A1 is a 100% US designed and manufactured magazine-fed shotgun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I hope some where down the line some american manufacture actually makes a shotgun like this. The TAC-12A1 is a 100% US designed and manufactured magazine-fed shotgun. I was under the impression you still needed the upper,barrel and a few other parts off the MKA ?

Anubis 38 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 For the TAC-12 yes, it was designed to work with the current MKA. The TAC-12A1 is its own animal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well quit teasing, lets see some photos, specs and release dates of this TAC-12AI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yeeb 3 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Any hope for a sub $1k AR styled shotgun? I'm sure TAC-12A1 will be top quality, but I don't think I fit the niche customer base that it is designed for. Maybe once the gun drama subsides, some enterprising company will mass produce a reasonably priced "AR" shotguns with better quality standards then the imports.
