I buiLt a shotgun just like this, but the barrel was 18 inches. If this is NJ legal, then I'm game.

  • You think that is fair to the vendors here? Your best bet is get the NJSP to send you a copy. Don't expect vendors here to support using outside online vendors.

    Word of caution with short barreled weapons - it’s easy get your hand in front of the muzzle. Especially on a weapon that has a manual action that works like pump shotgun. The strap is there for a ver

I was never interested in shotguns, but this one has my interest!

 

Maybe my first shotgun purchase- if NJ OK.

you are missing out. They are lots of fun. I would say how many I have but people are known rats so I don't like to give specifics

I have a raptor grip on a mossy 88. Its a little rough with 00 buck  but it will bring a smile to your face with bird shot.

From  Ammoland on the 590 Shockwave.

 

"Disclaimer: Although the Mossberg 590 Shockwave is classified as a “firearm” under the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), and is not subject to the provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA), state and local laws may be more restrictive. Even though, it is legal federally, the 590 Shockwave may be considered a “short-barreled” shotgun or “assault weapon” by certain state and local laws; and therefore illegal to possess. Please check with your local authorities concerning the legality of possessing a firearm of this configuration."

I'm waiting to hear back from an FFL

I wonder how many honky tonk bars will end up with one of those under the counter.

Paul, like everything else in NJ. The law is what I say it is!

If that was legal why not just cut the stock to match and cut the barrel to 14 inches of any other shotty

What a joke. Some things never change..or go away

It is not manufactured with a shoulder stock so it is not a NJ shotgun. If it is a smooth bore pump handgun (not semi-automatic so no weight maximums). But it fires a cartridge over .60 caliber which is only valid in a shotgun (which this is not) so doesn't it become a "Destructive Device" which is not NJ legal?

 

 

... so doesn't it become a "Destructive Device" which is not NJ legal?

YES, according to the NJSP FIU as told to me back in 2004. Long story.

Paul, I'm still getting one.

Paul, it's not legal in NJ. So I can't get one. Maybe a road trip to your bunker in Montana and we can shoot one together?

"Sawed-off shotgun" means any shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length measured from the breach to the muzzle, or a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length measured from the breach to the muzzle, or any firearm made from a rifle or a shotgun, whether by alteration, or otherwise, if such firearm as modified has an overall length of less than 26"

The "modified" wording is getting to me. Since it isn't modified, and it's coming from the factory like that does it still make it illegal?

steve will find out.

wait, no he won't.

Illegal in NJ

Curious what the difference is between the BA 8.5" barrel shotgun with arm brace and this. The BA is considered a pistol so you need a permit, but I'm guessing the Shockwave weighs more so it's not a pistol anymore?

Weight restrictions would only apply to a semi-auto.
