Thanks for all the thoughtful comments! I clearly AM being too picky, but it is nice to learn that I had the whole "overpressure" concept backwards. The problem I face is that there seems to be no recipes from people who make or sell powder and primers for a cut-down minishell. I'm not sure I...

I've been reading the various reloading guides to learn about reloading for 12 gauge, something I've ever bothered with before. The fits and starts in ammo supply is bothersome, so even if it ends up costing more, reloading seems a good way to at least keep shells on hand for regular range and...

Ernst asked, so here are some photos. Some folks on the interwebnets have said that a Shockwave with both a Knoxx "Breachers Grip" and a Crimson Trace saddle-style laser has no problems. Others warned that recoil would cause the Knoxx to move forward, and shatter the plastic of the expensive...

Well, a wife who burns her hand on a hot barrel is an unhappy wife. Nuff said!

I was asked, so I will post photos, as there was some work needed to make a claimed custom fit actually fit. The need for a heat shield is to avoid burning my wife's hands when she reloads her Shockwave, so both "his" and "hers" get all the same accessories, so they match and are interchangable...

You don't need a forend wrench. The flat metal wrench one uses to tighten the nut on a table saw blade works PERFECTLY, as would any flat and sturdy hunk of scrap steel. But you must first remove the forend from the receiver, which is something one should to learn how to do, and more...

That may not be the same part - what I got was verified as being non-interfering by the shopkeeper at http://www.shotgunheatshield.com But it may be the same actual heat shield. Polycarbonate, slides over the barrel with a friction-fit 7/8ths band at the receiver end, and comes with two...

Yes, of course, but to be blunt - the sole intent of this weapon is to be used once - when running is not possible, and my wife has no other option. So, while I could handload (or just buy if they ever get them back in stock!) some "Federal Shorty Shells" with a limited number of OO buck...

I have a heat shield on a Shockwave, and it does not block the beam of a CT-LS250. It is the very common cheap polymer type sold for Mossbery 500/590, and while one needs to elongate the holes in the outward direction a few mm in the bottom "clamp" to accommodate the thick barrel of the...

Thanks for the helpful advice in dealing with people Ernst, but I thought I did describe in detail what my goal was. I will add more detail, as so far, I've gotten nothing but flak and insults, with only ONE account of swapping, answering my purely technical question. I have a 5' 6" 118 lb...

Try as I might, I cannot reproduce the "jam" with the Delrin follower. It is a new firearm (Its a NOT-a-Shotgun!) so time will tell, the stock followers are saved in a ziplock, in a box, in a drawer.

When fitting this, which keeps the shockwave longer than 26.5 inches (actually makes it a little longer than the bird's head grip), the tang safety is "not within easy reach". https://blackhawk.com/knoxx-breachers-grip-gen-iii/ The recoil reduction is a significant advantage, so the swapping of...

Has anyone done it to verify that it really is compatible? Having the obvious safety where it "wants to be" is the issue here. But has anyone actually done it? Don't want to buy one, only to find it is not compatible.

Sorry, here's the website for the product: https://www.gogaugetactical.com

I bought a pair of the NON-light-up Go Gauge Dupont Delrin followers (because I think a flashing light on a shotgun is silly) as they have them priced low, and Delrin is good material. But I noticed that after cycling some snap caps through our matched "His & Hers" pair of Shockwaves, that one...

Thanks - got a "plastic" heatshield... we shall see how it holds up.

So, can anyone offer any theory on why the bead sight on a Mossberg is so "low" at shorter distances? What distance do they expect/design the bead target to be at? When I slide in a laser boresight to double-check the Crimson trace laser (it literally takes a 2nd laser to align the first...

Need the heatshield itself, and at minimum, the clip that goes tight around the rearmost part of the barrel to which the heatshield clips. The other hardware is less critical.

Given the discussion above, why does a Mossberg 590 Shockwave Not-A-Shotgun have a bead sight? I'm certainly not putting my cheek anywhere near the handgrip when firing. I don't care for myself, I put CT LS-250G green lasers on our his & hers matched Shockwaves, but the bead sight just seems...
