Mesa Tactical is a pioneer in the development of telescoping stocks
for tactical shotguns. Telescoping stocks are necessary for operators
wearing body armor, or for smaller statured shooters; a telescoping
stock provides the length of pull the situation demands.
The concept behind the telescoping stock system is simple: the
shotgun’s factory stock is replaced by an adapter, to which standard
AR-15 grips and telescoping buttstocks can be reliably attached. All of
our stock adapters are investment cast aircraft aluminum, which are
then CNC machined before being anodized with a Type III Class 2 mil-spec finish.
To meet the divergent requirements of professional operators, we
offer three lines of telescoping stock system: High-tube, Low-tube and LEO.
LEO Adapters
The LEO
adapter, manufactured for the Remington 870 and Mossberg 500/590 are
our most popular models, and features a lowered stock elevation allowing
the use of iron sights or even the bead sight.
LEO
adapters also accept optional stamped steel sling loop and hook loops.
The LEO’s low price and streamlined appearance make it the best choice
for agencies looking for a simple, reliable telescoping stock at an
affordable price.
High-tube Adapters
Our
High-tube adapters, with mounting points for Picatinny rails, SureShell
shotshell carriers and other accessories, are manufactured for the
Remington 870, Mossberg 500/590, and Winchester 1200/1300 (High-tube
only). They are multi-function single-point mounting devices which form
the core of Mesa Tactical’s systems approach to tactical pump shotgun
conversions.
High-tube adapters share the proportions of an AR-15 and include a
Picatinny rail on which to mount optics (note: High-tube adapters cannot
be used without rail-mounted sights of some kind).
Accessory mounting points on the sides of the High-tube aluminum
adapters accept Picatinny rails, flush-cup sling swivels or Mesa
Tactical shell carriers. Tactical lights, for example, can be mounted to
either side of the shotgun receiver. Aluminum covers keep dirt and mud
out of unused sling swivel holes and accessory mounts, which are fitted
with HeliCoil® stainless steel thread inserts for strength and long
life.
Recoil Stock Kits
We
recently introduced special upgraded versions of our Stock Kits
described above. The upgraded versions include a newly developed
hydraulic Recoil Buffer which replaces the standard receiver extension
tube normally used with AR-15 style telescoping stock assemblies, such
as those used in all of Mesa Tactical’s Stock Kits. The new Recoil
Buffer is manufactured for Mesa Tactical by Enidine Incorporated.
Enidine has been the leading manufacturer of recoil absorbtion devices
for stationary, mobile, and personal weapons for over forty years. The
photo above, on the left, shows the Recoil Buffer by itself. Note the
similarity to a standard AR-15 receiver extension tube. The photo above,
on the right, shows the Recoil Buffer installed in our LEO
Telescoping Stock Kit. The Recoil Buffer reduces felt-recoil by more
than 70%, making the 12 gauge tactical shotgun comfortable for all
shooters. The Recoil Buffer is also available by itself for those
customers who want to upgrade previously purchased Mesa Tactical Stock
Kits.
