Nighthawk Tactical Shotguns

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

FINISH

The first feature is a very important and practical one. We use the same expensive Perma Kote™ finish on our shotguns that we use on our handguns. And just like our handguns, you can choose from any of our color spectrum. The pictures show versions in OD green and Sniper Gray, but Black, Desert Tan and Titanium Blue are also available. They all share the same resilience to rust, and will provide you peace of mind, even if you can't get around to cleaning your gun for several days after using it.

* Digi-Cam. Call for pricing.
** Diamond Finish (Black or Dark Earth) Call for pricing.

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, but if a collapsible stock is more to your liking, you can choose the optional five position stock that comes standard with a rubber butt pad already attached. 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.

Optional Five-Position Butt Stock comes with Hogue Pistol Grip, Ambidextrous Single Point Sling Mount with Quick Disconnect Swivel and Rubber Butt Pad already mounted.

		RECOIL BUFFER If you are a little bit recoils 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 that we offer. They are rated at a 70% recoil reduction when extended to full length. (left photo)

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.

Shotshell Carriers

		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. (left photo)

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 can be 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.
