I asked the same question in GD and got a ton of great responses. https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Mossberg-Shockwave-accessories/5-2009337/ I've had my Mossberg Shockwave for less than a week, but already I want to change the forend (hard corncob w/strap is fully functional, but somewhat uncomfortable when shooting long strings). I'm going to try both the Hogue 'Tamer' overmolded (also ordered the extension tube to make it work on the shorter Shockwave) and the new GG&G modded Magpul forend w/a vfg (Hogue is softer/more comfortable than the factory corncob but the vfg is easier on my wrist, so I'll try 'em both before deciding which to keep). I've ordered the XS big dot tritium front sight that fits over the factory bead and already installed an NC Star 6-shot side saddle for now (works well, will probably keep it I spot something that has a significant advantage). For a sling, a Magpul MS3 is on the way so I can experiment w/both single-point & double-point setups (probably single-point for stability while firing based upon what I've read so far), still not certain how I want to attach it (end of the Raptor grip? side of the receiver?). Haven't decided if I want a light yet or not (trying to keep this light & KISS). Using the Hogue 'Tamer' forend would make mounting a light problematic. W/the Magpul, I can use M-Lok rails and such for a light if needbe. For fun I've ordered a Voodoo Tactical 'breacher' case. I'll need to make a hole for the Shockwave's relatively longer bbl to pass through for the Shockwave to fit the case properly. Still very much a work in progress, I have a feeling this is going to end up being very different from what came from the factory!

I picked one of these up last month - here is what I've added so far...
ProMag PM262 Enhanced Slide Safety OPSol Mini-Clip (still need to find ammo to test it) XS Sight Systems SG-2003-3 Big Dot Trituim Express Front Sight CDS Tactical Shockwave Raptor Shotgun Grip Wrap VooDoo Tactical - Breacher Shotgun Scabbard SKD Tactical - Esstac Shotgun Card - 7 Round I am looking into changing the forend to one that will allow a light mount - but will hold off on that for now. I like the VooDoo Tact. Scabbard, but will warn you that the sliding pad on the shoulder strap moves too freely, and if you grab it by that, it can flip over and let the gun fall out. Have fun, Bob S. |

Phase 1 of my Shockwave started yesterday by looking closely at a Shockwave at my dealers shop. $349+ tax seems fair. I followed this by calling OF Mossberg and ordering a 14" barrel with ghost ring front sight and a GRS rear sight. I'll put money down on the Shockwave today, to be followed by Form 1, and months from now, a side folder.

If I may ask, what does Mossberg charge for the 14" barrel w/ghost ring sights?
|
|
|
|
Posted: 9/28/2017 1:14:46 PM EDT
[#11]
$120 for the 14" heavy barrel with GRS blade, $34 for the rear GRS plus shipping- $177 total.
The other route I considered is buying a 14" compact SBS with speedfeed for $300 off GB, but the many month wait makes that unpalatable. This way I can play with the thing while the paperwork clears |

The CMR-206 green laser was the best thing I put on, and stippling the grip makes it a lot easier to hang on to. To me the big drawback with the Shockwave was projecting out in front of your face to aim it. It's awkward, and not fast to shoot. The green laser lets me put slugs on target at 25 yards from the hip.

This is getting close to final: G&G modded Magpul forend, GG&G side saddle w/QD mount, haven't decided yet if I want to attach a light on the Magpul forend and use an MS3 as a single-point sling or forgo the light and attach a paraclip loop on the forend and run the MS3 as a two point sling.

So far I am happy with where this is at. A lot of the items I already had such as the light, sling, sling mounts...
XS Big Dot front night sight, CDM Gear MTRS mount, Gear Sector offset light mount (pic shown just has standard 1" ring for light. GS mount made the light sit higher and even with the bbl), SF 6P w/Malkoff LED, SOE Gear shotgun card, Uncle Mikes military sling swivels, standard military sling, Aimpro bbl shroud, S&J follower, stippled grip and forearm, elastic pouch for two extra CR123 batteries. 
Added a Vang Comp oversized safety. 
A view with the Gearsector mount added. 
Shot of how the light does what I need. Trees are approx 30 yds out.

I swear guys, putting that laser on was best thing I did with mine. A gun like this one is so much easier to get fast accurate hits with if you don't have to have it up and out from your face to aim it.

It's a 5mw laser and is bright as Hell. It's not much help in broad daylight, but if it's overcast, in the woods, night, indoors the laser stands out very well. Sighting it in was easy as Hell because all I had to do was hold the gun upright and turn the allen wrench until it lined up with the barrel then turned it on it's side and turned the wrench until it converged with the barrel at a spot about 40 feet away. Done.

Mainsail,
I purchased the heat shield off of ebay a couple of years ago. The Aimpro is a perfect fit in length with the XS big dot front sight. I only had to modify the front set of tabs that the cross bolt goes through that secures the front of the shield around the front of the bbl. The front tabs had to be ground down slightly to be able to thread the mag tube cap back on. |

Here's what I'm hoping is my final version:
XS Big Dot tritium front sight GG&G modded Magpul forend w/Magpul paraclip mount GG&G side saddle w/QD mount MFT Torch (20 lumens) on a Magpul M-Lok 3-slot rail Magpul MS1 sling w/paraclip & QDM QD sling swivel Mag Grips forend panels I'll do a final range test this weekend to confirm this setup works as well as I hope. The MFT Torch works better than I anticipated; easy to access/activate, low profile/lightweight, 20 lumens should be sufficient for target ID inside the house (I'll try to get in a night shoot in the near future).

So far I have at least 300 light trap loads through. Maybe a dozen 00 and at least a dozen slugs,and so far it has held up great. It's a completd blast to shoot with too. The first time I tried it out I used it to cut down a bunch of tall weeds at my parents house. Put the dot on the bottom of the stalk and pow! The last time I had it out I was just walking around blasting softball sized dirt clods left behind by a bulldozer.

The first thing I did was replace the strap. The Mossberg embossed strap was thin and floppy. I had a foliage colored rifle sling that was thicker cordura nylon. I removed the original strap and cut the sling to size, marked the screw hole positions, used a hot nail to melt holes and screwed the new strap in place after searing the ends. For a final touch, I used a torch type fireplace lighter to heat the seared ends while mounted and confirmed them to the curve of the foreend. The new strap stays D shaped and your hand slides right in, the curved ends aren't sharp at all.
I was debating on getting a magpul but this did the trick. I don't trust that my hand will stay on a magpul when shooting 1600fps slugs. Oh yeah, bought the ghost ring barrel and rear sight from OFM, then saw a half dozen GRS barrels on gunbroker for $40. :/ |

Mainsail,
I purchased the one for the 18" bbl. I originally purchased the heatshield for my 590A1 18.5" bbl version. Out of curiosity I put the heatshield on the shockwave and found that it was perfect in the length to fit between the XS big dot front sight and the receiver. This is how it looked on the 590A1 w/18.5" bbl.

I picked up mine yesterday- was surprised at how smooth(ish) the action is. The safety is metal; I was expecting plastic for some reason. The trigger guard is plastic so I need to determine if I really think that's important enough to swap out.
Seems they used a lot of grease before packaging as well. Aimtech is coming out with a heatshield rail system combo called the Warhammer (PN ML3A1SWH)- looks interesting but bulky. I'm still leaning towards a plain heatshield. This is the only picture I was able to find of it:  Attached File |

Mainsail, the Standard Mossberg Heatshield (Parkerized), will fit on the Shockwave's 14" Barrel almost perfectly. You will have to do the following: 1) Remove the REAR Bolt Lugs, so you'll be able to Remove/Re-Install the Mag Cap. 2) Drill a hole for the factory Front Sight OR the Front Sight of YOUR Choice. If using GRS Front Sight, I would then suggest using a Dremel Tool to cut the slot. Use the Standard Mossberg Heatshield, NOT, their special 590A1 Heavy Barrel Heatshield, as the Standard Unit will GRAB the Barrel better, and will not Slip when fired!!! (ask me how I know) That WarHammer thing, just looks too ungainly, or something. Just too much, for something that doesn't need a lot of extra weight or size. Sorry, Just my 2cents. Chief |

Chief I really don't understand 1) and 2) -probably because I don't have any conception of how the heatshield attaches to the gun. It may become evident once I have the parts in hand. How does it attach in the front? I want to order a mount/rail that I think goes on the magazine in the small space in front of the forend. |

After much experimentation, I've gone back to the factory corncob sans strap.
I've kept the XS Big Dot tritium front sight along w/the GG&G 5rd side saddle w/QD sling mount. Added the S&J +1 mag tube extension & follower, it doesn't add an extra rd but it does make speed reloads to capacity faster/easier & I like the stronger spring. I've also added the GG&G light mount w/a 20-lumen MFT Torch for a light & low-profile lighting solution that's less likely to snag on things. Tomac  Attached File |
