Quote History Quoted:
in the AFT's proposed pistol brace rules, it addresses a braced Shockwave or Tac14. If the rules go into effect, the AFT will see it as a SBS.

Yep. Anyone wanting to put a brace on a pistol grip shotgun like the Mossberg Shockwave should keep an eye on the status of that
proposed brace rule. The language from that proposed rule:
These criteria and worksheet do not apply to firearms with a smooth bore that use shotgun ammunition. These types of firearms, commonly referred to as “pistol grip shotguns,” were never designed to be fired from one hand (e.g., Mossberg Shockwave, Remington Tac-14). ATF has always classified these weapons as GCA “firearms,” not shotguns or pistols, as they do not incorporate a stock, like a shotgun, and are not designed to be fired from one hand, like a pistol. Thus, the addition of a “stabilizing brace” does not assist with single-handed firing, but rather redesigns the firearm to provide surface area for firing from the shoulder.
