Found a cheap violin case at a local antique store today-fits the Shockwave great. Need to buy some felt to re-line it and plan to add some wood spacers to the butt end for ammo carriers(planning to make a compartment with holes drilled, to hold individual shotshells without the boxes. May use some type of existing ammo carrier and fit that though).
Then I decided to add my machete to the top part of the case because why not?

Works great! Just eyeballing it in the house and it looks like it's on the money without even adjusting the W/E on it. The dot is bright as Hell and about the size of a quarter. I'm able to thumb activate it just by stretching past the safety. I hope like Hell it stands up to the recoil because I really dig this!

I did notice that it is not as bright as I remember. What I remembered was that shining it on the white ceiling would make the whole room glow green. Pointing it in other places does not produce the same effect. Still damn cool though and cuts out the guesswork.

Maybe one hour? Bought a hobby burner from Menards that came with different tips. Practiced on an old plastic pistol case til I found a texture I liked then started on the grip. I used scotch tape to mark the boundary lines then stippled along the tape. If you touch the tape it just melts in. Then I peeled the tape and tried my best to make uniform lines from side to side.

Got to the range to try the laser out yesterday. About half dozen slugs and 3 or 4 00. Sight didn't wander off zero so I'm happy as Hell!

Took my Shockwave out for the first time and I love this thing!! Recoil isn't bad at all (only was shooting bird shot) and my 7yo was emptying the tube with my help with no complaints. Great firearm for sure! Home run mossberg!

I have had multiple people email me asking for em to send them the photos of the modification process in my thread from three years ago. The photos are being held hostage now wanting $35 a month but if you just do an image search they should all appear in the search results. Just look for the orange ones.

Marine NP3 coating is what it is as far as I knew for the finish. it shouldn't cost much to send barrel and magazine tube in to be made to match.

If you have to do that its going to be about the same cost if you just send your receiver too and get a definite match.

How long is it? I'm trying to figure out if it will break even with the barrel or how far it goes past.
ETA: Never heard of S&J and didn't pop up on Google when I was looking, thanks for the tip! |

You have a conversion Shockwave right? Kit built not an off the shelf? I measured mine and it looks like 1.5" breaks even. The S&J is 2.75" and would be about 1.25" past the barrel (on my factory model). I'm waiting to hear back from Nordic components about their extension. Their extension nut might be long enough by itself then I would just have to cap it somehow.

Winchester did similar years ago with one version of the 1300. All weather on the receiver(silver color), blued steel parts. Add me to the list of "not getting it". Why put the coating on the part that needs it the least? |

The Vang Comp is 2.25". That puts the tube about three quarters of inch past the barrel. I'm not sure if that'll stick out far enough to bug me or not.
ETA: Nordic can eat a dick since they haven't bothered returning my emails, Brownell's emailed me the information about 10 minutes after I sent the inquiry and they said it was just under 2.5". This makes Vang Comp the winner. |

 Well it looks good, but I cant get that 6th shell in the tube. I'm not sure if it's hanging up on something but damn. I'll play with it and see if it allows an extra 3" or if another brand shell will fit any different but as much as I like the look $75 is a lot not to get that +1. I've got two other Mossbergs it can go on but damn I had my hopes up. At least nobody else will waste $75 on this.

I was under the impression that the Mossberg Shockwave was supposed to be able to get the following in the Standard Mag Tube; 5- 2&3/4" Shells 4- 3" Shells 8 Aguila Mini-Shells Please let me know if I'm wrong. Even by adding the 2.25" Extension on the Mag Tube, I Do Not see where you would be able to squeeze 6 3" shells into the Mag Tube, and even the 6th 2&3/4" shell would be tight. |

It comes painfully close to accepting six 2.75's, in fact it will just barely take six shells of #8 birdshot but not 00. I can also now fit five 3" shells in the tube. So it increased the capacity of the weak loads and the capacity of the holy shit loads but not the useful ones. CD |

I went through my stash and found that the Remington, Federal, and Winchester loads were the same length. Herters and S&B have that weird disk thing in the end instead of a crimp and end up being as long as the crimped 3" loads. Just out of curiosity I grabbed six birdshot loads and they fit just fine. They appear to be about 2mm shorter than the buck loads and that adds up to 10 or 12mm in the tube which is just enough room to get that 6th shell in. I'll look for something shorter in the future but for now I'm stuck with what I got.
