Re: Mossberg Shockwave

Mossburg could have placed a rifled slug barrel on it. The controversy is their advertising.

I don't think it will be a problem. I believe it is the same as an AR Pistol. If the AR was ever a rifle it is always a rifle. There is no going from rifle to pistol although you can take an AR pistol and make it a rifle. After you make a rifle out of an AR pistol you can never take it backwards.

The key here is that the Shockwave is manufactured with a pistol grip and therefore is not intended to be fired from the shoulder. Due to this distinction, the firearm cannot be classified as a shotgun and therefore cannot legally be a short-barreled shotgun.
Yet it cannot be a smooth bore handgun and be legal.
