Is this legal to buy in Illinois I thought shotguns needed to be 16 1/2 inch barrel

Ryan, yes, it is legal in Illinois. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Disclaimer: I am not an Illinois resident so the only information I can provide is posted information about their regulations AND I am not a legal authority so if you have any doubts about the legality of a purchase I would highly recommend that you contact the proper authority in Ilinois to be sure. That being said, at the federal level, the ATF refers to this gun as a "firearm" not an AOW or SBS (by the way, barrel length for SBS is 18" and under, the 16.5" number is for short barreled rifles) and it is not subject to NFA regulation making it legal to purchase in many states; however, some states place additional restrictions on guns like this. Personally, I have seen forum posts of Illinois residents having no problems purchasing this gun and the similar Mossberg Shockwave. I would still suggest that you contact a proper law enforcement authority on this matter to be sure and not risk potential legal trouble.

It is legal because the ATF has classified it as a "firearm" and not a shotgun you must be 21 years old to buy it

Mark, yes, since these configurations are not classified as shotguns nor a handgun but, a firearm, you must be 21 years by Federal Law. Details here : https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/non-nfa-14-remington-870-new-tac-14-full-review/

Yes you must be 21 because it is not a long gun it is classified as other firearm which requires you to be 21 to buy

Does this function as a standard shotgun without the magazine?

No it does not Brandon, because if the addition of a detachable magazine feeding system in place of the traditional tube magazine. Pay no attention to that not-a-magazine tube under the barrel. It’s empty; there to guide the fore end as you cycle the gun. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2017/12/dan-abraham/gun-review-remington-870-dm-magpul-shotgun/

Yes, however it is magazine fed rather than tube fed. If you take the magazine out, you'll only have one round to fire.

Can the broom handle grip on the tac-14 be switched out for a normal crusier grip??

Yes it can Patrick and remain legal. Just do not add a "Shoulder Stock" at any cost without NFA Tax Stamp.

while I think it would be legal I would be very careful modifying these guns in any way as they are in a very "Grey" area as far as legality and you could end up defending your "legal" mods in court

I own the Tac 14. Can you purchase just the detachable magazine anywhere?

William, I have not come across just the "Detachable Magazine" yet. I would contact Remington for a distributor or perhaps a direct purchase at TEL: 1-800-243-9700

Bought this from buds and have no regrets, this thing is small and packs a punch especially with slugs and 00 buckshot lol. Love this thing, thanks buds

I consider this shotgun to be the perfect home defense firearm. The Remington 870 is probably the most reliable 'riot gun' in existence today. This variant, with a 14" barrel and 6-shot detachable box magazine, is superior to the longer-barreled fully stocked traditional pump version for use inside the close quarters of my home. I can stow it in places a full-sized shotgun would never fit. Reloading is much easier with a detachable box than it is with the traditional tube.
