Not giving any legal advice and you should certainly verify this information before you make any decisions, but here are the major take-aways from the ATF Ruling on pistol braces that went into effect yesterday, as they might affect us Shockwave/TAC-14 owners:
1. To sum it up, “pistol braces” are now treated just like shoulder stocks for all weapons.
2. Short-barreled fi****ms like the 14” Shockwave are not affected by this ruling, as they were never covered under the original pistol brace ruling to begin with (that ruling applied to “pistols” only).
3. Essentially means that it has never been legal to install a pistol brace on a short-barreled “firearm” like the 14” Shockwave or TAC-14.
4. Anyone with a pistol brace on an unregistered 14” Shockwave, TAC-14, etc. is technically in possession of a Short-Barreled Shotgun and is (technically) committing a felony.
5. Since the original ruling never applied to weapons like the 14” Shockwave, “fi****ms” with Birds Head Grip aren’t affected by this latest ruling either; however the ATF are requiring the manufacturers of these “fi****ms” to resubmit their requests for reclassification.
6. There is “tax forbearance” period from now until 31 May where you can register a pistol-braced pistol and they will waiver the $200 tax stamp, however this DOES NOT apply to pistol-braced short-barreled fi****ms like the 14” Shockwave and TAC-14….you will need to follow the normal process and bear the normal costs.

Another great article on The Truth About Guns by Travis Pike. This time, our SafetySight and HighBall were put to the test! Check out the article to see how they held up.

Today we take a peek at Defender Tactical's HighBall and Safety system for Mossberg 500 series shotguns. This promises to correct those POI/POA issues.

Throwback to our second Custom TAC-14! Definitely hurt a little to say goodbye to this one.

Blasted away the factory black oxide finish and recoated with Cerakote Flat Dark Earth. Finally, we outfitted the firearm with all of the Defender Tactical upgrades for TAC-14. Should we do another one and auction it on GunBroker?
