Mauricio, yes Sir the Shockwave is perfectly legal to purchase/own in the State of NC. You can lawfully possess or own the Mossberg 590 as it falls within the exception of N.C.G.S. § 14-288.8(b)(5) and its possession alone would not constitute a crime in the State of North Carolina.

Hi Mauricio, Yes this is legal in NC ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Yes, here is the full determination of the NC Attorney General if you'd like to see it: .nssf.org/share/PDF/Schatzman-Sheriff-Mossberg-590-Shockwave.pdf

Hi Ronnie, Yes this is legal in Mississippi buddy ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

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

Kevin, All Mossberg 500 series pump shotguns have same action.----------Introduced in 1960, all model 500s are based on the same basic concept designed by Carl Benson. Originally using a single action bar that was known to bind and even break, this was changed to dual action bars in 1970, following the expiration of Remington's patent on the double action bar design. A single large locking lug is used to secure the breech. The magazine tube is located below the barrel, and is screwed into the receiver. The slide release is located to the left rear of the trigger guard, and the safety is located on the upper rear of the receiver (often called a "tang safety").

It might be the biggest different factor between 500 and 590 that you should consider carefully. The magazines of model 500 are closed at the muzzle end, and it is held in place by bolting into the threaded hole at the end point of the magazine tube. However, the 590’s magazine is designed to be opened at the muzzle end. Besides, the barrels fit around the magazine tube and held on by the cap nut at the end point. Especially, the 590 magazine setups are easy to clean and remove, as removing the nut allows removal of magazine spring and followers as well.

Kevin, the 500 & 590 are the same "Action" Sir. Great details reviewed here : https://rifleshooter.com/2017/09/remington-870-v-mossberg-500-v-mossberg-590-comparative-design-notes/

They are exactly the same actions Kevin.

Yes this is perfectly legal in MN. Thank you budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/minnesota_restrictions.pdf

Hi Leonaldo, Yes this is perfectly legal in FL ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Leonaldo, yes Sir. There are no current restrictions in FL. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Hi Tony, It would have to ship to an FFL. Federal Law requires this be transferred from a Class III FFL Dealer.

Tony, by Federal Law and the classification as a "Firearm" this firearm must ship to and be transferred fron an Class III FFL Dealer.

it must be shipped to a FFL it is a firearm and all firearms must go to a FFL for transfer

Hi Tony, It would have to ship to an FFL

DAvid, Here is a set of sling swivels. $13 and free shipping.--------budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/44429/u+mike%27s+mag+cap%2fswivel+set+m500+12g

David - if it doesn't come with a sling, then it would be very easy to purchase adn install an adapter of your preferred style.

David, yes you can for th models that don\'t come with the sling swivels. gggaz.com/mossberg-shockwave-quick-detach-rear-sling-attachment.html

the Mossberg site shows it with the sling swivels installed I suggest contacting Mossberg and seeing if this is correct or if you can get the factory swivels mossberg.com/product/590-shockwave-6-shot-50659/ contact Mossberg at Tel: (203) 230-5300 | 8:00am-4:30pm Eastern Fax: (203) 230-5420 or mossberg.com/contact-us/

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.

yes it is legal in PA but it is not classified as a shotgun and you must be 21 to purchase ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

Hi Joshua, Yes it sure is buddy. This is NY legal. We just don't ship to CA or MA.

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/localities have passed rules against these firearms.

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 law enforcement.

pistol grip firearm

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.

Frank, yes Sir, it is legal for purchase/ownership in CT.

Yes it sure is because it is not a shotgun but is classified as a "firearm" by the ATF ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, or MA***

sorry federal law say 21 to own the shockwave and others like it

Quincy - Quite sure you will not be covered under any 'concealed carry permit' provisions .. since this isn't exactly concealable on your person. You really need to find a knowledgeable concealed carry instructor to help you wade through all this .. The cops, while they will tell you something, probably don't really know the actual details of the laws. The vast majority do not. A good concealed carry instructor would know, as it is their business to know. I don't believe you can buy it until you are 21. However, I believe you could legally possess it, should someone (a private individual) loan or give you one, at age 18 or above. Just double check - you are responsible to make sure you are within the law.

Quincy, no Sir. The minimal age for purchase is 21 since it is classified as a "Firearm" and not a long gun so it follows the same laws as a Pistol for purchase. I would talk to your local Police or Sheriff on your specific carry for accuracy laws since they enforce them.

Richard - I imagine it will be changed to general availability as soon as a new supply comes in. This points out yet another benefit to belonging to "Team Buds". Not only would you get access to several firearms not available to the general public, but if you use the layaway feature, you can possibly save nearly the cost of membership in one transaction.

when the stock numbers get higher it will be available to everyone if you planned to put it on a layaway please think about becoming a team buds member 90 day layaway will cost you $25.00 team buds membership with FREE layaways $29.95 or $4.95 more

Richard, usually when restocked in sufficient numbers according to Buds. You can ask Buds when that may be at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Legal in OH as of 03/28/19. I live in OH. Ordered mine yesterday. It has already shipped and should be at my FFL by early next week.

Randy - Maybe you can ... Perhaps Buds just hasn't gotten around to changing the listing yet. Just give them a call, and be prepared to order (have FFL information and payment information ready when you call). I'm sure they wil get everything worked out as soon as possible.

Randy, you will need to contact Buds directly to see what's going on on ordering at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Fred, yes Sir. There are no current restrictions in Hawaii for this firearm. Details : budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/hawaii_restrictions.pdf

it is a smoothbore firearm it is not a rifle handgun or shotgun it is classified as a firearm only link to atf letter mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Shockwave-Letter-from-ATF-3-2-17.pdf

Fred, yes Sir. There are no current restrictions in Hawaii for this firearm. Details : budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/hawaii_restrictions.pdf

yes it is legal in Hawaii ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Jeff - should be all clear in just a few more days .... so give Buds a call at 1-859-368-0371 (9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri) or use the "chat now" button located at the bottom right hand portion of your screen, (9am-9pm EST 7 days a week) and verify it, then get your order in!

It should be however I suggest that you Contact customer service (859) 368-0371 available 9AM to 9PM CST Monday through Friday or use the blue chat now button . we are not buds employees we are volunteers that answer questions

Jeff, yes it should. I would confirm with Buds that they are aware if the Law change in OH at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm 7 days a week.

as long as it gets shipped to a valid FFL then your fine. soon as the new law hits nothing will get in the way of shipping

Akin - I believe you are good to go with this one! Get that order in!

Akin, yes Sir. This is perfectly legal in NY City. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Theodore Christopher, Sorry about the attempt at humor in my first answer. The only time I saw anything like white sand on my new firearm was when a silica pack that they put in to keep humidity out broke. The little dry pouches they put in packaging may have broken some how. Check and see if you find a empty silica gel pack broke in your packaging.

Theodore, you should just do a regular clean/lube and if everything is kosher, no worries. If the action is still rough afterwards, I would contact both Buds and Mossberg for advice on resolution.

Buds does not open the boxes so how it came was the way Mossberg sent it out from Buds "Many new firearms are test fired at the factory. You may notice residual powder, rotation marks on revolver cylinders, residual cosmoline which sometimes appears to look like rust, etc. All firearms sold as "new" are in fact new in box as received from the manufacturer or distributor and include new manufacturers warranty....no exceptions."

Theodore Christopher, Never seen that before. What can I say. Firearm must of had a trip to the beach before you picked it up. Guess assembly debris. Clean her up and see what happens.

Ramon, Get your LE paperwork in to BUDs and this firearm can be shipped to LE personal in CA. Only allowed in CA 2 ways. (1) for the movie industry or (2) Government or Law Enforcement per California State statute {PC33300(b)(1)} So LE can purchase this in CA

Maybe as it is neither a handgun or a assault rifle the following exemption may not apply CA says " Law Enforcement (including federal) can purchase non-compliant ARs and so-called “assault pistols” as long as the firearm is being used for duty use only. Department letterhead required and must ship to a dealer with an “assault weapon” permit. " Please Contact Buds customer service (859) 368-0371 available 9AM to 9PM CST Monday through Friday or use the blue chat now button and they will help you We are not buds employees we are volunteers that answer questions

Ramon, yes, just contact Buds who will acquire your required credentials and you will be set at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Sure they can. There are provisions for it in the laws.

this firearm is Federal law approved, no restrictions in NC!!

This is an Federal NFA exempt firearm. No problem in NC.

Darian, yes Sir. NC has no restrictions on the Shockwave, TAC-14 or similar firearms. I live in NC and own two, no issues whatsoever.

Yes it is 100% legal in NC (I live in Camden NC) ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

Darian, Yes you can have this firearm shipped to NC.

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 this as you would any other firearm. The ATF does not view this as an AOW or SBS, rather it is a "firearm" due to specific design considerations by Mossberg to work around potential ATF no-nos. In any case, it is not subject to NFA paperwork or tax stamps.

it is reserved for team buds members right now your choices are to become a team buds member or to go to a different model like Trevor D linked or to join team Buds Joining team buds would be my choice if you are going to put it on layaway because layaways cost $25.00 for a 90 day layaway but team buds gets free layaways and Costs $29.95 for the 1st year $24.95 if you renew budsgunshop.com/catalog/teambuds.php

You will have to become a team Buds member to purchase this one

Chris, that particular gun is only available to people with an active Team Buds' subscription. When searching all the results that are available will have Add to Cart below their picture in search results and on the right side of the page when you click on a gun. If you don't have this option it is either Team Buds' only or currently out of stock. I would recommend searching for other similar models, there are several models available with minor differences. A few links, an FDE colored version: budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/49157/mossberg+590+shockwave+12ga+5%2b1+fde A detachable magazine version: budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/105678/mossberg+590m+shockwave+12ga+mag+fed+10%2b1 Hope this helps!

Christopher, no, it does not. You will need a computer with a full browser, Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge to properly view it. ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

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 days.

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 would speed things up but is not necessary.

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 could subject you to legal problems once you take it back into Ohio. The burden is placed on the owner to maintain compliance with firearm laws. If you can;t buy it in Ohio, then that;s a very good indication it is illegal in Ohio - regardless of federal law. This was copied from the Buckeye firearms.org web site: "According to our legal analysis, the Shockwave 590 is banned in Ohio. It is NOT legal. We don't like it any more than you do. And of course, this ban won't stop any crimes or make anyone safer. But for the moment, that's the way it is."

I fought and ask for this Approx a year to a year an a half ago- Praise the Lord Jesus Gov Mike Dewine Signed this into Law effective Immediately over- riding or correcting the Language on the Law that they the State of Ohio had or needed to correct. Yes they the Mossberg Shockwave and Remington Tac 14 can and will be allowed to be legal to be had or owned by Folks living Here in Ohio on this coming March 28 2019. Again Thanks Govenor Mike Dewine. Again I Praise the Lord in all things both Good and Bad...

Will be officially legal to ship to Ohio on March 28th 2019

Local gun shop is selling them here in OH they said they are legal state followed ATF reg.

When the gun becomes Legal in Ohio Buds will then start shipping the there

Michael, yes, Buds follows State laws so shipping would commence when legal in OH.

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 but then pushing the forearm back forward causing it to lock again if that is not the issue contact Mossberg at (800) 363-3555 ---- mossberg.com/service/

Carl, something does not sound right Sir. You should contact Mossberg Customer Service for a resolution at (800) 363-3555 ---- mossberg.com/service/

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.

this Remington would be more "lady" friendly as the "semi auto" action will help with the recoil budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/107460/Remington+83392+V3+Tac-13+Semi-Automatic+12Ga+13++5%2B1+Syn

it will really depend on the "female" but in most cases it would not be they have a lot of recoil

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.

yes it is legal in IL and buds will ship it there ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

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 yourself arrested and having to defend those legal mods in a court of law and hoping that the opinion of the jury/judge goes in your favor this article is a example even though he was found not guilty it still cost him thetruthaboutguns.com/2018/11/daniel-zimmerman/atf-suffers-rare-court-loss-in-ohio-short-barrel-rifle-prosecution/

Jason, unloaded weight is 5.25lbs.

5.25lbs empty

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 and once approved, gives you your new firearm.

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 it anywhere in my vehicle as long as all others in the vehicle have their cwp. So I guess I won’t be carrying it in the car after all, unless I’m by myself or with my husband since both of us are cwp holders. Thanks to all who offered advice and suggestions.

yes it is legal in NJ but as it is NOT classified as a shotgun you must be 21 to purchase "*We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH ****

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 buckeyefirearms.org/mossberg-590-shockwave-legal-ohio

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 the rest of the firearm is manufactured. I can't find anything about the 14" barrel, but that might be it. Dylan, I did find that Ohio considers this a "sawed off shotgun" even though BATF says it is a firearm. That is why you can't get it in Ohio.

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 pistol grip in 20 ga.

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.

Yes it can ship to NY ***We're currently not shipping this firearm to CA, MA, or OH***

I would ask my local FFL holder

Jeremy it is legal currently according to (it is not a shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches) : pacificislandmovers.com/pdf/Movement%20of%20Firearms%20through%20Household%20Goods%20-%20Rev%203-19-14.pdf

I would ask my local FFL holder
