I played with an older one that a buddy has. It worked well but had to be held in place with duct tape. I've seen on here that they changed it some in the current generation and they are much better.

Brother has one on his 590. Feeds just fine, no issues. He hasn’t mentioned needing tape and I think it fit pretty tight.

I don't have a mossberg but, a buddy has a 500. I researched this adapter and got him one for xmas last year. The gen 1 adapter has issues falling out so the gen 2 has some wings built in to provide a friction fit. Those wings seem to have resolved the issue of the adapter falling out.

Can you still use full size shells with the adapter installed?

I bought one for my shockwave and by reading post here, I'm going to say its a gen two as it has little wings.
My thoughts on it are it is fun for the range. I would not want to really trust my life one it, as it's just a little rubber wedge that is friction fit into the loading port. It'd be really cool is someone would scale a shotgun action down just to run the short shells. With the adapter installed you can only use the mini shells. you can load 2.75 into the tube with the adapter in, but they won't feed. They get jammed up against the adapter. Edit: in the OP said snake gun, I would use for that application without worry. |

Thanks I'm thinking of buying a shockwave and putting a brace on it like the brownells boom kit package yet don't know about the barrel and cost of that kit since it's $377! So it's almost the same cost as buying another shockwave. Yet do like the brace on it a lot! |

Anyone know if the mini slugs could take a hog?

I don't know about a hog, but I'm 325 pounds and holding one of the slugs in my hand. I wouldn't wanna be shot with it!

I had the Gen 1 it fell out during use. Gen 2 has held in place, no problems. I use it for my Mossberg Mini-Cruiser AOW, and it gives me just one more round, but very pleasant/mild plinking fun gun with the Minis. It can pop out for using regular shells easy enough. Get the Gen 2. |

I just wish they had something similar for an 870.

Quote HistoryQuoted: IIRC what you seek is the Winchester 1300. if memory serves, the shells were originally designed for using the 1300 and I have been told they will cycle through it without an adapter.

It might be a few weeks as I don't have any mini shells and my 1300 is not with me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just wish they had something similar for an 870. The 870 does not need an adapter. Some people have had issues with mini shells and there 870, I run them fine in mine. I just need to make sure when i rack the gun I do it aggressively. My understanding is that the reason the adapter is needed in the Mosberg 500 series guns is that the back of the lifter is open and the shells fall out. The 870 does not have this space so an adapter is not needed. |

Received everything the other day! Fit was great shotgun holds 13 rounds I keep the 4 rounds of slug in the speed feed stock as I believe if need be I can do a single combat load with 2 3/4 if I have to take a hog out.
Anyone who has one tell me if it is possible to do a single load even with the block in place? I would think you can. I have not had the chance to go to my land and try it. |

Yes, you can single load your 2 3/4 shells with the block in place. The block can also be removed in a second if necessary of course. |
