Mossberg 590 Shockwave .410ga Matte Blued 14″ 50649

The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is a unique and compact firearm that falls into the category of “firearm” rather than a traditional shotgun. Chambered for .410 shells, it’s designed for self-defense and close-quarters use. Its design make it a good choice for shooters looking for a powerful firearm that’s both compact and powerful.

Key features of this unique firearm:

• Compact Design: The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is characterized by its short length and compact design. It features a 14-inch barrel and an overall length that’s just over 26 inches, making it very easy to handle and maneuver in tight spaces.

• Gauge and Capacity: The 590 Shockwave is chambered for the .410 shell and has a capacity of 5 rounds.

• Raptor Grip: Instead of a traditional stock, the 590 Shockwave has a “Raptor” pistol grip. This grip allows for a firm and comfortable hold while also helping to minimize recoil when firing.

• Bird’s Head Grip: The distinctive “bird’s head” shape of the grip contributes to its compactness and allows for a more natural and ergonomic hand position when shooting.

• Pump Action: The firearm operates using a pump-action mechanism, requiring the shooter to manually cycle the action to chamber a round after each shot.

• Non-NFA Firearm: The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is classified as a “firearm” rather than a shotgun under the National Firearms Act (NFA), meaning it’s not subject to the same regulations as short-barreled shotguns. This allows it to have a shorter barrel length without requiring additional paperwork and taxes.

• Overall Length: The design of the 590 Shockwave allows it to maintain an overall length above the legal minimum for firearms, even with its short barrel. This is an important factor in its classification as a non-NFA firearm.

• Twin Action Bars: The shotgun features Mossberg’s dual action bars, which provide smooth and reliable cycling of the action.

• Top-Mounted Safety: The thumb safety is located on top of the receiver for easy and ambidextrous access.

• Sling Swivel Studs: The 590 Shockwave often includes sling swivel studs, allowing you to attach a sling for convenient carry.

• Matte Finish: The firearm features a matte blued finish that’s both durable and resistant to wear.

• Other Features: Brass bead front sight, cylinder bore, drilled and tapped receiver, and corncob forend with strap to prevent hand from approaching muzzle.

The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is not a traditional shotgun. It is classified as a firearm and specifically designed for personal defense scenarios where compactness and maneuverability are crucial. Its unique design makes it a popular choice for individuals looking for a compact yet powerful option for home defense, close-quarters engagements and other situations where a traditional shotgun might be too bulky.
