Sights on my TAC 14

[Scott Tschirhart]

Much better. Federal 00 buck at 12 yards.

I bought a barrel for mine with sights, easier for me to get better hits. Which reminds me, I’ve not had it to the range for a while, need to correct that

[GunnyMack]

Tac 14? Is that the short barrel 870?

[Scott Tschirhart]

Yes. Birdshead grip and 14 inch barrel. The Hillbilly Howitzer.

[GunnyMack]

I thought so.
Enquiring minds want to know, do you have a mares leg holster for it ?

[Scott Tschirhart]

No. It’s not a carry gun. It’s a house gun.

[Ysabel Kid]

What sights did you put on it?

[Scott Tschirhart]

They appear to be Remington. Though they have tritium inserts. I actually bought the barrel with the sights installed. Probably a takeoff of a LE issued gun.

I have carried a 12-inch 870 at work since 1990 on a Remington 870 Witness Protection (a $5 tax stamp as an AOW). While Van Comp was in town bought some barrels from them and had them convert one for my wife to use when I was gone. Very good crowd pleasers when needed.

My AOW before Ceracote, which I carried at work to open doors and other things.

With sights it is useable. I was having difficulty with the shotgun bead on my other barrel.

My last issue shotgun was a 14 1/2" 870 with a Wilson +1 extension and TruGlo gobble dot. It would hold five but I kept it loaded with four 000 Buck so if needed, I could poke a slug in the mag, rack it and load another in the tube behind it. Drive-by stakeouts...

I have little need for such an implement these days, but the temptation to tax stamp a SBS is still pretty strong.

[Scott Tschirhart]

I still have my old Ithica Stakeout that I used in Houston. But it’s so light and kicks like a mule.

The Remington (with no tax stamp) is much more better.

I lowered the rear sight a bit and it ought to be dead on now

[Scott Tschirhart]

Now, not every buckshot patterns well.

I tried the Government issue buckshot from Olin. It won’t keep all of the pellets on the target consistently.

[GunnyMack]

Back in the Oh stuff Hillary is going to be prez I bought a case of 250 of the Winchester military OO. it's ok but certainly not as good as the Federal OO my Benelli M1 likes. But when it's all ya got it's better than throwing rocks!

[Scott Tschirhart]

It’s great in an enclosed structure or as a truck gun. Just don’t count on any distance.
