    Co witness sights for 500 with RDS

    The only thing I've found that's close to what you're after is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TBESVCK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have it on my Maverick 88. There's a red dot securely mounted on top, but I can still see the bead easily through the channel at...

    Mini Shotshell Review

    I use them. Mostly sticking to Federal Shorty Shells, as I’ve gotten better results than with Aguila or Challenger. They are mostly for my Shockwave (4B and slugs) but I’ll occasionally take a box or two of the 8-shot to bust clays on the local trap range. Here’s a good video from Demonstrated...

    Shell holder for mini shot shells for 500

    Really! I'll have to give the ESSTAC another look - I guess those elastic loops are better than I first thought. Thanks Ernst!

    New guy with a new Shockwave!

    Welcome to the fold! Your Shockwave looks great. It's a fun little blaster, especially with the Shortys. Let us know how your first range visit goes!

    Recoil Pad

    The 10809 is the correct pad. I have one on my Maverick 88. It is a bit gummy as John A. states above. To be honest it did not substantially improve felt recoil over the factory pad, but it is slightly better.

    New Shockwave Accessories on the Market!

    I took one of those polymer heat shields meant for the Maverick 88 or Mossberg 500 and did some dremel work. I had to cut off the outer loop fastener to make it short enough, cut a notch for the front sight, and hollow out the inner loop fastener to get it to close properly around the heavier...

    New Maverick 88 Owner

    Welcome, congratulations on your Maverick. I love mine. I succumbed to accessory fever for mine and have spent more in upgrades than I did on the shotgun - but, so what? I liked the result. For an optic mount - of course, you can always drill and tap, but I settled for the TacStar rail mount...

    Mossberg Owners Forum Troubleshooting...

    Recent change to the layout and color scheme of the site is atrocious - please undo. It's unusable for me now.

    Yeah. This one is much better:

    Shell holder for mini shot shells for 500

    The diameter is the same, so generally speaking you should be able to use any 12ga side saddle to hold any length shell from 3-1/2” down to 1-3/4”. I have a couple of Tacstar side saddles, for 4 shells and for 6 shells. You can double load them with minishells if the loops are tight enough, or...

    Magazine Tube Question

    OP, how does it run with the stock follower? Considering replacing my OpSol with the Defender Tactical adapter but I don’t relish the chore of replacing the follower on my Maverick 88.

    Joined the Shockwave club today

    A word of advice - shoot it a bit before you make any modifications. I made a bunch up front and ended up taking almost all of them back off. It's quite a nice little blaster straight out of the box!

    Mav 88 “torture test” video

    Loved this video. It’s always a pleasure to see James reassess his opinion of a weapon.

    Is the Mag tube replaceable?

    The 20” barrel/7 shot tube is found on the “tactical” model and is not threaded for chokes, if I remember correctly. I believe you have to use the 5 shot tube with a 24”/28” barrel if you want threading. You might check EBay or Gunbroker to see if someone is selling parted-out guns, otherwise...

    New shockwave owner, few questions.

    Disregard - scroll up, BoBo! I see you have the SPX so it came preinstalled.

    New shockwave owner, few questions.

    @DavidL, where did you pick up the heat shield? Haven’t found one for the Shockwave 12ga.

    Question Of The Month (July 2021) (2A Firearms)

    All of them. Like the 2nd Amendment says: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” There are no restrictions on types, implicit or otherwise. I do not believe there should be any...

    A gun that have yet to shoot.

    It needs shooting. Guns feel pain when they don’t get used. It might die, and then how would you feel? Awful, that’s how. Save your gun’s life - feed it some ammo!

    Changing Barrels on a 2 year old MB 500

    Howdy! If you want a 28” or similar for hunting or shooting clays, you should be able to find one easily. Take a look at how the barrel lug screws into the top of the magazine tube. Any other barrel you put on there needs to have this lug in the same position relative to the tube, regardless of...
