I'll preface this with "I am not a dumbazz". I took my Mossberg Shockwave apart to clean and lube it completely my way and to learn how to re-assemble it. Taking it apart is easy. Re-assembly, WITH instructions, was a nightmare. I feel like I need three hands, one of them tiny to re-assemble the thing. I finally got a friend to do it while I went to work one day. Are there any tricks or something not in the instructions that I haven't figured out? I know there has to be some tricks or a certain way to how you hold your mouth but heck if I could figure it out. I've taken V8's apart and put them back together, but a Mossberg shotgun....nope. Help!

Thanks a bunch! There are some tricks, like the order and alignment. The owner's manual doesn't explain it as well. Looks like Mossberg would do a youtube of it. Yours is excellent! FD
Performed a detail strip on my new to me 590 Shockwave last night. First Mossberg too. I can strip an 870 in the dark if I had too. The Shockwave assembly took forever . Found a few good videos and finally figured out how to install the bolt. Man that's frustrating until you learn how to.
