Its legal there (technically a pistol) if you changed the grip you will need a stamp though. But as it is, it is not considered a shotgun.

This has been deemed legal in NJ by the BATF : An email was recently sent out to FFLs in New Jersey with a message from “THE NJSP FIREARMS INVESTIGATION UNIT.” It stated “…Mossberg Model 590 Shockwave, Black Aces Tactical DT and the Remington TAC-14. The

I definitely agree with you on this. In NJ, there were a lot of FFL's that were unsure and would not transfer. They have been given explicit instructions they can transfer these type firearms now.

here in nc the state restricts (most) local (anti) firearm laws but I am not sure about other states

Randy, this is from the NJSP to NJ FFL's. They were given the green light in NJ and adhere to the BATF (Federal Laws)(At the State level). I think Buds recognizes this on shipping ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, MA, or OH***

James what about local/town ordnances?

Yes appears to be good in New Jersey but I would check with my local FFL holder to make sure of any local laws that may affect it here is the NJ restrictions budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf

No, not under Ohio State law. Information here : According to the GCA, if the overall length of that firearm, with the pistol grip and barrel installed, is greater than 26", then the barrel can legally be shorter than 18". In the case of the 14" barrel Mo

Hi Judi Dejavu lol. Sorry but this isn't legal in Ohio. :(

Yes appears to be good in Kentucky but I would check with my local FFL holder to make sure of any local laws that may affect it

Hi Jim, Thanks for your question. Yes it is legal in KY

Yes, there are no laws that would preclude ownership in Kentucky (currently).

yes

There are no Nebraska state laws that would preclude you from owning this firearm Ross.

It should be but I would check with the local FFL holder who would do your transfer if its Illegal (state local laws) it could be bad for him so he should know the law

Joe, this firearm is completely legal in Wisconsin Sir. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Joe, this SHOULD be legal in Wisconsin but if you have any doubts I would highly recommend you consult with the proper law enforcement authority on the matter to be sure. Assuming there are no Wisconsin-specific restrictions you should be able to purchase

It should be William. Wisconsin's statute on SBS,while the definitions would seem to make possession of the shockwave illegal without a federal tax stamp, it also says it does "not apply to any firearm that may be lawfully possessed under federal law". Si

I would check with the local FFL holder who would do your transfer if its Illegal it could be bad for him so he should know the law

Hi William, Yes it is.

This has been classified as a "Non NFA Short Barreled Shotgun" by the ATF. mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Shockwave-Letter-from-ATF-3-2-17.pdf

Hi Joshua, It is considered a pistol in CA, NY, NJ, MA, or OH

There are exactly 565 in stock at the present moment John.

All firearms that are out of stock will show out of stock instead of "add to cart"

Its in stock!

This package includes owners manual, warranty registration card, cable lock and Mossberg sticker. youtube.com/watch?v=fdigY2q_sOk

Brandon, it comes in a cardboard box owners manual, warranty registration card, cable lock.

Buds will ship it there, you just have to find an FFL locally that will accept it.

buy from Buds

Jason, there is absolutely no NC Law on the books that preclude this firearm. This is simply a lack of understanding of NC laws. You should get a clear answer from your Chief Law Enforcement Officer or local Sheriff.

No because of the short barrel. It's considered a pistol in NY

no sorry

No. even though the overall length is OK, NY law has a problem with the barrel length.

**We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, NJ, MA, or OH***

No layaway on this one. Maybe if you're a Team Buds member, but I am not.

This layaway is for Team Bud's members only. It is the 90-day layaway and you must put 20% down. Here is how. Add it to your cart and proceed to checkout as if you are paying for it now. When you get to the payment page there will be a 90-day layaway opti

team buds members only place item in cart. go to checkout. select FFL to be shipped to (can select or change later) continue to payment select Layaway. Pay the 20% needed to remove gun from inventory (gun price $389.00 20% down payment cash $77.80 Credit

Yes, but currently for Team Buds Members. You can look at the perks and make a decision if it's worth it to you here : budsgunshop.com/catalog/teambuds.php

You nailed it. Quite similar guns. Both drilled and tapped, both have dual extractors, both 6rds chambered in 3". Its all size differences in dimensions really.

Hi Joshua, basically just the handle(Pistol grip) and door buster muzzle attachment on the 54125. Other specs are identical.

The ones here at Buds are the plain black straps Kevin.

My father got the exact gun from Buds, his has no golden letters or elaborate strap. Not sure if Mossberg did this at some point or if you found a nice added feature by the seller. But I can confirm not all came or come like yours.

Hi Adam, I feel your pain. These are unfortunately so "in demand" I believe some are even being drop shipped from the nearest Buds distributor. Which may explain the seemingly screwed up receptions by various folks.

My father had to wait 3weeks for his Shockwave after reserving it. Once it goes to shipping, should be two days from there. Others have had to wait 3 months after the reserve date on this gun. My dad got his like a month and a half ago I think.

Average time is 5 business days. You should have gotten a tracking number so you could go to the UPS/FedEx/USPS websites to manually setup progress notifications to be emailed to you.

Strange as the Shockwave is explicitly banned by Ohio State Gun Law statutes. Go figure...

Nope.

It is prohibited in New Jersey as a "Destructive Device"

**We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, NJ, MA, or OH***

He can buy one.

Yes you can. Here is the information. Bud's Item Number: 23322 UPC: 015813506595 MFG: Mossberg & SonsBud's Item Number: 23322 UPC: 015813506595 MFG: Mossberg & Sons

Yes

Not at this time. Maybe in the future.

Tracy is right looks like Texas is a no go after some reading https://blog.uslawshield.com/tag/mossberg-shockwave/

No. Texas law doesn't allow for non nfa shotguns with a barrel shorter than 18", no matter the overall length. If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as the "Best Answer". Thank you.

Here are the states they won't ship to ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, NJ, MA, or OH***

James nailed it. The only option for OH is to get an 18" barrel version with a pistol grip. On the bright side, you will get two more rounds in there, and 50 state compliance. If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as the "Best Answer". Thank yo

2923.11(F) of the Ohio Revised Code provides: "(F) Sawed-off firearm means a shotgun with a barrel less than eighteen inches long, or a rifle with a barrel less than sixteen inches long, or a shotgun or rifle less than twenty-six inches long overall." Emp

I ordered mine from Bud's and received it two weeks ago. It took exactly 2 months from the order date. Haven't had a chance to go to the range yet, but the gun is put together and finished very well. Smooth action and a nice trigger.

This is based on review history. Some wait less, some longer. But 3 weeks to 2months is the average window. Info from customer help tab: You can reserve this item and lock in the current advertised price and your position in line to receive the item from

Generally 3weeks to 2months is the average wait time. This is based on personal experience and review history. Some wait less, some longer. But 3weeks to 2months is the average window.

Hi, Michael, this is almost impossible to answer. This will depend strictly on availability from the supplier/manufacturer.

I am not an employee, and this may not be of much help. But I heard recently a guy just got his after a 3 week wait. This is just an idea of wait time from one reviewer. But contacting them directly at 1-859-368-0371 would give you a more accurate time fr

I would contact my local FFL first. Classified as fully-compliant by Federal BATFE, this model requires no Tax Stamp for transfers, where permitted. North Carolina law also bans shotguns with a barrel length of less than 18 inches or an overall length of

You should be good as it says: We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, NY, NJ, MA, MD, TX or OH*. Worst case they contact you to try to buy it as a SBR. Awesome shotgun!

Its not legal in California as it is. Major alterations will need to be made to make this legal in California without a permit.

This shotgun is NOT on the California compliant list.

This might provide some clarification for Ohio shooters from the Buckeye Firearms Association. buckeyefirearms.org/mossberg-590-shockwave-legal-ohio

Kim B I was told that this firearm does not violate that Code since the ATF has classified it as a Firearm. It comes from the factory with never having a buttstock so it is not a shotgun and it is longer then 26 inches. That is what I found out after spea

I paid for my preorder in March. Talked to Buds a few days ago. They aren't shipping to Texas either. Gave me a full refund. I would rather have the Mossberg.

If you are not a dealer, you have to ship through a gun dealer in the state of Ohio.

I just saw a video about this gun. Then I looked up my state law. The barrel is 2 inches too short to be legal. Ohio probably has similar restriction.

Most likely a state regulation will not allow the firearm to be shipped or sold in your state. Each state may have different standards then others like California for example

Michael - You bet it is! But since it is classified by ATF as a 'firearm' the minimum purchase age is 21. "Get ya One!"

Michael, yes Sir, this firearm is PA legal for purchase and ownership.

Joshua, yes Sir it is legal in NY. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

according to the ATF it is neither a shotgun or a pistol but is classified as a "firearm"

Yes

Jose - the ATF says this is neither a pistol, or a rifle, or a shotgun. It is a 'firearm', and as such, is not subject to the barrel or overall length requirements of a 'shotgun'. Check for local/state restrictions before you order, as some states/localit

Jose, this is classified as a "Firearm". This essentially makes it follow the same guidelines as a handgun when it comes to purchasing. you must be 21 years of age or older to purchase.

The ATF rules that it is a "firearm", neither pistol or shotgun in this configuration. Without knowing what state you reside in I don't know if that has any consequence regarding its legality, I would probably check with the FFL you plan to use or local l

Frank - if you're over 21, then you can legally order this for shipment to your FFL in Connecticut. The ATF have classified this as a 'firearm' .. but not a shotgun. Hence, the shorter barrel is legal.

Brendan, the same as a handgun Sir. You must be a minimum of 21 years of age to purchase.

it is classified as a firearm and you must be 21 to purchase

Must be 21 Berndan. This is the same requirement as a pistol

According to ATF it is simply a “firearm”. Check out ATF’s letter to Mossberg. mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Shockwave-Letter-from-ATF-3-2-17.pdf

The Shockwave is considered a firearm.

Hi Cliff - due to the fact this was not designed for, and never had a shoulder stock attached, it is in that "never never land" category of just being a "firearm". 21 yrs minimum to purchase. And the NC guys say no permit required. Very popular item these

No it is not the ATF calls it a firearm it has the same age requirement (21) to buy as a pistol. You would not need the PPP I am also a NC resident you should your CHL (concealed handgun license) it makes it so much easier

Clifton, no, it classified as a "Firearm" and not a shotgun, long gun, or pistol. For legality, it carries the same general rules for purchase as a pistol meaning you must be a minimal of 21 years of age to purchase. I am in NC also and a purchase permit

Joseph, no. The shockwave is not classified as a "Shotgun" but a firearm and carries virtually the same rules as a handgun, which you cannot purchase across State lines. Only Long guns can legally be purchased across state lines.

According to the legal opinion I read, possession of his firearm in Ohio would be considered illegal .. even though federal law says it is legal to manufacture and purchase and possess. That being the case, if you could buy it in an adjacent state .. it c

David, 1 round in chamber, 5 in the tube magazine for 5+1, 6 total

David, this firearm has a 5 Round tube Magazine and if you rack one in the chamber and top off the tube magazine with another round, you get 6 shots fully loaded capacity.

5+1

It fell overboard in a fishing accident.

It would depend on who was in charge of the government at that time (including Judges) they could be "grandfathered" in as legal or you could be ordered to turn them in. that is why voting is important

James, similar has happened and current owners may have their Shockwaves "Grand Fathered" in similar to Pre-Ban weapons of years past. We won't know until that bridge is crossed in actuality.

Try with the gun empty and chamber closed/locked (pointed I a safe direction) by pulling the trigger and seeing if the action unlocks to allow you to pump it. If it does be sure that recoil is not causing the pump hand to start the cycle (pump) slightly b

I’m pretty sure it is. I’ve seen a video with two small girls shooting paper targets with their dad. Look on YouTube. Shooting the mini shells.

Derrell, it is actually not. With some practice and using "Low Recoil" ammunition, it can be controllable. Examples here : budsgunshop.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=low+recoil+12ga

Ohio just changed their law by overiding the Governor's Veto. The Shockwave will be legal in 90 days.

Daniel, yes they will. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Dylan, yes it is legal. Just keep a copy of the Braces' ATF Compliance Letter with you and you will be fine Sir. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

while it should be legal I don't know of anyone who makes a brace to fit the Mossberg 590 action and I would be very cautious about making ANY modifications to the shockwave or the Remington version as they are such a grey area you could very well find yo

it will ship to the local FFL (may be a gun store) that you select he does the paperwork and charges you a transfer fee which is normally $15.00- $40.00 this fee is up to the FFL not buds you leave his store with you gun

Hi David, this will ship directly to a local FFL dealer of your choice (based on Zip Code of your address) for transfer to you. You will fill out the necessary paperwork and pay the transfer fee usually $25 to $30 and the dealer does the background check

the best way is to purchase Gift cards and have him order the gun in his name

Talisa, he would have to be the purchaser. You could also just find the firearm you want to purchase him at Buds and buy the equivalent "Gift Card" amount and he can complete the purchase without issue.

I finally got an answer at my local sheriff’s dept. If I carry it in my vehicle just covered up behind my front seat of my van, then anyone sitting in that 2nd row of seats must have a cwp since they would have open access to the gun. I’m legal to carry i

Frank, yes, the Shockwave is legal in NJ. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

as NY city laws are so different I would call a local FFL and get his advice. If the FFL will not handle the transaction then you are out of luck.

Arthur, this is perfectly legal in NY. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

I was at a gun show near Youngstown Ohio ,this weekend . Saw shockwaves for sale .I asked the same question , you can have but do not shoot . This is what the man told me

The Mossberg Shockwave has a barrel length of 14". Accordingly, with a barrel of less than 16" long, it is considered a "Sawed-off firearm" under Ohio Law. In Ohio, there is no barrel length exception, even with an overall length of 26” or greater. link b

Dylan, simple case of State Law overriding Federal Law plain and simple. Details here : buckeyefirearms.org/mossberg-590-shockwave-legal-ohio

Ohio law says any barrel under 16" is considered sawed off and under state law that weapon system is illegal

Dylan, The only real issue with Ohio is the state says the firearm cannot be modified by a third party from the manufacturer. So I don't know what the caveat is with the regs. Unless a third party adds something like pump strap or birdshead stock after th

Lawrence, I didn't get where your question asked about mini-shells, but could have missed something. May have been asking about Mossberg mini-shell adapter. Only in 12 ga. Mossberg does have the shockwave in 20 ga and also the persuader with a regular pis

An adapter would not be needed for a break action or pump shotgun to fire the Aguila mini shells Lawrence. I have not heard of nor seen any 20ga Aguila mini Shells by the way.

sorry there is not as far as I know the mini shells are only made in 12 ga

Its a non-NFA item ATF classifies it as a "firearm". Transfers must go through a FFL and the buyer must be 21 or over

It is a non - NFA item Glenn, but is still classified as a "Firearm" so an FFL is still required for transfer to you.

Hi Aaron, the only way to tell is with the serial number.

it should be 18 as it is not a handgun I would contact a local FFL and ask them

Hi Mike, there are so many different opinions that I would ask your local Sheriff or Police Chief as they are who would enforce your local laws and their interpretation of the legality of this is what will count most.

Its tough to figure out if you can or not because the shockwave is not a shotgun or a handgun I would contact the local Sheriffs or state police office and see if they can help answer this question

Hi Mike, I would for sure call and ask your local Sheriff or Police Chief as they are who would enforce your local laws. Don't rely on others on this one.

Frank, your local Sheriff or Police will be the best source of information on this local matter (as it could vary county to county).

Definitely not in Illinois. Our CCL only applies to handguns. This would not qualify and therefore is not allowed to be carried loaded on person or in vehicle. An AR pistol is good to go though.
