A week or so ago I paid $410 out the door at a local gun-store in Oklahoma. The dealer said he got 1 from his distributer who claimed it was his last.
I went in looking to buy a Ruger .308 w/ a 18" Medium contour barrel and some local goober who hangs out in the store all day was fingering it (the 590, not the Ruger), I asked him if he was going to buy it, he said he was just looking at it. I snatched it from his dirty fat hands and raised it up in the air and hollered "Sold!", then proceeded to buy it. 
I'll have to wait for that "special time of the month" when my wife is in one of those extra-friendly moods  before revealing it to her.
My wife is a skin-flint when it comes to spending money; I on the other hand, am not. 
Back story on the Ruger. My best friend is a medical doctor who earns the big bucks. He has about $7500 into his Remington 700 (NF optics, suppressor, McMillan stock, bipod, 2 pound trigger, extended magazine etc..) My goal is to buy a cheap-ass Ruger All American, bed the stock, run a Vortex on it, rattle can it Krylon extra flat cammo and attempt to consistently ping the 1000' gong with it. My friend is Asian and super-smart, so we constantly have pissing matches between us. |

Anyone got to play with the 8" model yet? They have seemed to come down in price and are quite reasonable now. Gunbroker sales are around $550. And surely this stupid looking shell holder will come off. Attached File If anyone has one please chime in with pics, video or comments. I have the AOW or DD itch and looking for my next purchase. I could actually see myself toting one of these while fishing for snake medicine. |

Ive got one swamp. The 7.5” version. It is what you would expect. Standard mossberg “quality”. I took the side saddle garbage off and replaced with a hogue tamer grip. Looks and shoots much better. For an out of the box aow it works. Folds up small and is fun to shoot a few times. |

Have also seen the saftey harbor 7” 500 for $500 and I can get that in a 20ga which is slightly more appealing to me. Not sure which way I may go as of yet. The local FFL charging $50 for NFA transfers which kinda sucks. |

My first thought is that they had been making AOW’s for as long as I can remember. Now I see it’s the little guys. Still haven’t seen one in person but in pictures they look a lot uglier than the Serbu Safety Harbor gums to me. I always like seeing new stuff but don’t understand why it took them so long to get in the game. If I ever get another it will most likely be a Safety Harbor 20. Attached File |

They appear to be out of production and when I do see them pop up on eBay and gunbroker they fetch a pretty penny. There is another member here running one and they look pretty cool. |

I like it better than the original grip but have only put a few rounds through it since I swapped it so I can't pretend it's the greatest thing ever. It feels significantly better in the hand but those choate grips that everyone used have always been shit. Only thing I miss is the built in loop for the nifty sling that came with my gun so I need to buy a adapter. What kind of gun do you have? @swampfoxoutdoors |

| I bought the 7” mossberg AOW which has a terrible looking grip and shell holder on it I think. I personally have never even held it or seen it. Found a good deal on gun pro deals and wanted to scratch the $5 stamp itch. It’s at my dealer but never have seen it. |

Saftey Harbor were blowing their AOWS out last time I checked. I think they were $475 or so. Can not remember what I paid for mine but seems like it was under $500. And I would entertain the idea of running it in a micro shockwave configuration but have no idea how the front grip and pump arms are set up. Are they shorter than normal 500 action arms? |

Pretty sure the shockwave grips are standard size but never really thought about it. |

| You could - but if you're adding that much length, you might as well go w/ a Shockwave unless you're intending to conceal it on your person. |
