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

Re: Mossberg Shockwave
Yet it cannot be a smooth bore handgun and be legal.carlson1 wrote: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.Lambda Force wrote:Hopefully any police who see it will see it your way and not decide to let the DA and judge sort it out.
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.
