You could paint a big white arrow on yours to help with low light aiming. Just sayin'. So we're up to TWO uses. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w388/elduderino36/DSC_00012_zps341f8ff5.jpg View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted: So when the bbl is hot after you've shot all your ammo, you can stab a hun w/ your bayonet and use your non-trigger hand to press the bayonet down through his guts. They don't like it up 'em!
Seriously, that's the only reason for a heat shield on a shotgun - it's to keep from burning your hand when you stab someone w/ the bayonet. If you're not going to mount a bayonet on it, there's no earthly reason for a heat shield. Why do heat shields look badass? B/c they bring to mind US military shotguns from the 1st & 2nd WW that had heat shields on 'em. Why did they have heat shields on 'em? B/c they had bayonet lugs on 'em. Hmm. Would a permanently attached bayonet count towards the OAL of 26"? http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w388/elduderino36/DSC_00012_zps341f8ff5.jpg |

Can anyone post a pic of the Mossberg heat shield next to their Shockwave to show how far off it is?

Anything else will probably interfere with the SBS sized pump/fore end. View Quote The push-pull on the sling works much better than I anticipated as far as a usable sight picture. |

It's fine. Push-pull as you say, and it's not as if you have to use them. You can still just point it like it had a bead only.

You can Dremel the cooling vents into DickMod holes, and attach $87 of Tapco accessories to it as well, so now you're up to 3 reasons. But if you have a heat shield on your shotgun w/o a bayonet lug, you really are an ignorant poser. You MIGHT be a poser with a bayonet lug and heat shield, but @ least then you're not an ignorant one.

I guess when we carried 590s overseas we were ignorant posers, because we never fixed bayonets. Your post was the first I've ever seen in 20+ years of shooting 590s and 500s with the shield added post-factory. I'll still sleep deep. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Yep, heat shields are so kids don't grab a hot barrel in the trenches in France.
Next up - M203 cuts on your bbl. |

Is there a real difference other then barrel length on the Shockwave compared to the 18.5" version? Mine is setup the same but it's the 18.5. Deciding if I should continue trying to sell mine or not. or maybe try to convert to 14".

I work at a shop and received a new PGO 870 and we all noted that the fit and finish of it is nice. It's marked Remington 870, no Express or magnum although it will take 3" shells. Pleasantly surprised about that. Feels smooth too. View Quote |

You're the one putting the heat shield on it. You do know the reason for a heat shield on a shotgun bbl, right? View Quote |

Just one of my bugbears, I suppose. I think a Shockwave with a heat shield and bayonet lug would be awesome; to me, a heat shield alone is like an AR with a red dot and a flip up rear BUIS, with no front sight. YMMV, of course.

It bums me out that the marinecote version only has the receiver coated, whereas the full size sticks have the barrel and tube also coated. I guess I'll have to cerakote the to match.

Has anybody tried using the surefire 500/590 weapon light on the Shockwave? Did it fit or was there some modifications required? I called Mossberg to get some dimensions from them but they couldn't answer any of my questions.
|
|
Im pretty sure it would have to be the one designed for a short barrelled shotgun.
I was given one that came off of factory 14" gun and it fits, I just havent mounted it yet. |
|
|
Most the aftermarket forearms for the 500 will need the channel opened up to make them fit the shockwave. It shouldn't be hard like the magpul forearm how to that's floating around here somewhere.

anyone in Texas seen one at a gunshow or in their local gun store?

I'm not really a shotgun guy, but the shockwave has my interest.
Question for those who have more experience: I was thinking if I get one I would slap a holosun on it. Anyone know if the KE arms remington 870 aimpoint mount would work with a mossberg? I mean as long as the upper geometry is similar I think it would be fine, but I don't have both brands of shotgun to compare. |

One question for those talking about adding a bayonet, WHY ??? View Quote A) I'm thinking of going to the mossberg grip and the vertical front grip. A permanent mounted bayonet would keep the length over 26 inches. B) cuz fuck you liberals, this firearm is everything you hate. |

I spoke with surefire directly regarding this. The surefire representative confirmed that the DSF-500/590 will in fact fit a Mossberg 14" front end.

Also thanks HTHF on contacting and reporting back on the forearm. I thought theirs needed trimmed to fit the shockwave. Good to know.

Out of 4 shops that I have talked to 3 are getting them in and one is not. He was told by someone he talked to that it is a SBS and not able to sell it . I wonder how this is going to work out ?

Well will the price of the Mossy drop now as Remington is getting in the game?
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/05/02/remington-870-tac-14/ |

Considering the shockwave is nearly half the cost of the 870 14inch. I doubt it needs to be cheaper. It is selling super fast at any retailers that are able to get them. I think it will continue short is the new cool thing. In PCC and shotguns.

What are you guys seeing as far as retail pricing on these? A local shop I was in yesterday was selling them for $449 which seemed pretty high.
|

The TFB article as the Remington web site, lists the Remington TAC-14 at $443.05 suggested retail.

Nobody around here has them. Cabelas apparently has no plans of selling them at all. Too controversial for them. I went to an LGS that I haven't tried before amd put $100 down on the first one they get off the truck. Seems lots of people are asking about it but nobody put money on it.
