AFAIK the 1887 copies are made in China or Italy. Only shotguns can be imported from China. We can import handguns, shotguns, and rifles from Italy. I don't think the GCA68 has any provision for importing "firearms" like the Shockwave. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orangesolo 26 Posted October 21, 2017 So like.. Do I have to keep the shockwave stock, or can I put another stock on it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Shockwave does not have a stock, it has a grip. The moment you put a stock on it, it becomes a sawed off shotgun. It is only through the special design of the grip that this thing is somehow legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,573 Posted October 21, 2017 The OAL must remain 26" or greater. If you put a stock on, in order to fire it from the shoulder, you must install an 18" or greater barrel. IMO, you can install an arm brace and shorten the barrel even more, as it still remains a pistol-grip firearm.Sent from an undisclosed location via Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Install a stock and an 18" barrel and you made it a shotgun ( why would you want to do this?). I don't know about shortening the barrel as then it is not in the configuration ATF approved it.

GRIZ 3,369 Posted October 22, 2017 Some have talked about the Shockwave and using it for a trunk gun (legal if you have a FID) or using it to shoot trap at a WMA range. I would restrain from using one for either purpose until there is more clarification. Remember, NJ has said IT IS NOT A SHOTGUN. Carrying a long gun in a vehicle with a FID is legal. WMA ranges allow 22s, shotguns, and black powder AFAIK. The Shockwave legally in NJ is none of these. Whilst I am not known for being cautious I would exercise restraint and not screw up a good thing. JMO 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted October 22, 2017 It has the cool factor, but unless you have access to an outdoor range good luck getting any use out of it. GFH absolutely will not allow it... so I'm definitely out. Planning on picking up a 590A1 sooner or later... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stuckinNJ 81 Posted October 22, 2017 If we’re allowed Firearms now, can we build 10.5” AR with a long brace (PDW?) and pin the brake to achieve over 26”? Would this be legal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you only gain a 4" shorter firearm than a rifle, so why? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
