Remington TAC-14 in 20ga. Will Mossberg follow?

[MarkB1]

Remington has released their tac-14 in a 20 ga model. Will Mossberg mke a 20 ga model in the Shockwave? Keep in mind a 20 ga magnum load has the same shot size as a 12 ga standard load.

It appears that Mossberg only has 20 ga models in the 500 series and the Maverick 88 series.

I called Mossberg Service. The Tech was not aware of any plans to make a 20 ga Shockwave but he did say Mossberg has received many requests for a 20 ga version.

The telephone answerers aren't going to know what corporate is thinking about or going to do. And only they could answer that question, and I'm not convinced they would prior to a press release.

Does Mossberg currently make a 590 chambered in 20 gauge?

Joe

I can't find one on the Mossberg website.

 

[John A.]

Not that I am aware of.

The 590 is the civilian version of the 12 gauge the Navy is using.

 

[MarkB1]

The only 20 ga guns were in the 500 series and the Maverick 88 series.

I don`t know where he gets his info but about :45 he hints that a 20ga might come in the future.....

 

[Djcala]

I know if they do id by at least one maybe even two. Get with it Mossberg

 

[MarkB1]

Remington had the advantage of having a 20 ga ready to go in the 870 line. Mossberg only has 12 ga models in the 590/590A1 line. Maybe Remington's new 20 ga will be the push Mossberg needs.

A Shockwave in .410 would be really cool!

Here are the details on the 20ga. It looks like it is a 590, thick wall barrel, 3" chamber, 20ga Shockwave and not a modified 500. The MSRP is the same for both the 12ga and 20ga at $455.00 so the street price should be about $350 to $380 once stock is available.

I just did a long look on Gunbroker and other websites for the 20ga Shockwave. NADA, ZIP. Nothing out there yet. It will happen.

I think I saw that the 20 gauge is just a bit heavier than the 12 gauge version. Can that be right?

[MarkB1]

The 20ga is drastically heaver than the 12ga - by 0.05 pounds (per Mossberg).
