Thanks. The Magpul is made for the long action so a little modding is necessary. The ribs in the back end have to be removed for 1 1/8" to fit properly on the short action and the front has to have the hole clearanced a bit for the castle nut. Not a big deal to do. I stole...er...borrowed the allen screw deal from one I saw on Facebook. Seems to work well.

Thanks. Had QD slings already so it made sense. GrovTech makes threaded cups so just a matter of drilling a 1/2" hole in the grip and screwing them in with their installation tool in a drill. They self thread into the plastic pretty easily.

Hi Rico...er...Stogie...whoever you are.
I've enjoyed reading your posts very much. I actually can't if I run the light that I have now. The Streamlight has a rear button and the bigger end of the hand guard covers the button. I was going to run the light by itself but the back of it is kinda sharp around the button thus the hand stop being installed in the first place.

Thanks! I'm fighting the urge to paint the SW but you never know. lol... My wife loves her chickens and I love her so tried to build a "chicken facility" that made daily chicken keeping as easy as possible for her.

Will do sir. I doubt that I'm going to get too crazy with it. I'm pretty happy with how it is now.
I replaced the foregrip with the following items:
ERGO MOSSBERG 500/590 TRI-RAIL FOREND – 5 13/16″ LENGTH $78

KELTEC KSG Quad Rail Hand Stop - $33
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KELTEC-KSG-Quad-Rail-Hand-Stop-/201912257041
The grip is much smaller than I expected and very comfortable with the rail covers that were included. I believe there is a bit more “wobble” to the grip than the corncob, probably due to no contact with the barrel.
The Hand Stop is very secure, with a smooth transition between the rail and the stop. Other stops have bulky mounting systems which may be uncomfortable, where this stop is very comfortable. I like not having the strap on the front grip because there is less clutter, and I feel the hand stop will be more than sufficient to keep my hand in a safe place. I mounted it back one inch from the very front to give me more distance from the front of the barrel and to access my light. It is a very comfortable fit. The foregrip and hand stop are made from quality aluminum.
I am able to mount my light and operate the butterfly switch easily with my thumb knuckle.
My only dislikes of these new items are:
The foregrip wobble, and I suspect the hand stop could make drawing from a scabbard difficult.

If I keep this new setup, a heat shield will be mandatory. It is difficult to keep my thumb and fingers away from the barrel.
I will know more today when I shoot.
Appearance wise, it may look better too. I had no intention of going tactical with this weapon, but I'm there, and it seems very practical for me.
What are the drawbacks of fiddling with the Shockwave the way we are? Let's see, we turn our imagination loose, we tinker with parts, and we shoot.
Sounds like a win...win...win...to me.
And, for very little money.
