I taught them how to do it some years ago. It is to solder the pole/comm joints with silver solder and to clean and true the comm on a lathe. Also, replace the brushes with the Systema AG30 brushes.

Tack mod = armature rewinding to solve the factory big picture problem. Properly done, it's quite amazing.

The rewind is done in addition to the work listed above, as well as the windings lashed and epoxied to prevent resonance.

You can say; "I have had my motor rewound", or "I have gotten the motor mod", but saying Tack mod is what it is, and isn't what it isn't. Him being involved or not.

That was my point

I modified my hop-up by smashing the shit out of it on the side of my house, severely decreasing its performance. I think I'll sell it, and call it the "MacGuyver mod", to sell it easier.

If I worked on anyone's gun, I have no problem with them saying so. I even invite anyone who wants to know more about what I have done to contact me. I don't expect every owner to know every detail. Just be honest about what you have done. If you didn't send your motor to England or buy one from Centurion, it is fraudulent to claim your motor has been "Tacked". Whether you are unintentionally ignorant or wilfully fraudelent is irrelevant to the person buying your gun. The end result is he didn't get what he thought he was getting.
I have seen people installing FCC armatures in Systema motors and "modified" Systema armatures in FCC motors and calling them "Tacked" or simply passing it off as a normal motor. It brings an undeserved reputation to great platform and disrepute to PTW tech. There is one or two guys I know who do this and deserve a shot to the melon.
Don't get me started on the Dremelling of the rack gear guides to remove a piston rack. The height of laziness and stupidity. To the guy who does this and will read this, yes, I mean you, jackass.
