Mossberg Shockwave - Landing in Canada Soon?
- Thread starter BoreSnake79
- Start date
I just spoke to their rep. Mossberg has submitted an application to export. If approved they will be shipping soon. Unfortunately approval on short barrelled shotguns is rather hap hazard so no real idea if/when things could happen.

With comments like this, should anyone be surprised we're not allowed to own nice things?
Its a big deal to the Americans as the factory Shockwave package is the only way they can get a shorter than 18" barrel without dealing with NFA issues.
For us it just means that it should be easier to get 14" barrels since they will be now be produced in numbers and shouldn't be subject to export restrictions.
It's a big deal for the Americans because they an buy this model without getting the extra tax stamp, they have to leave it as I'd though and can't put a regular butt stock on it.
It's even better for us in Canada because we can put a regular stock on it and it means that anyone looking for a 14" 590 would be able to buy one new. There were some 14" models available 2 years ago that came in but before that they were fetching a premium on the used market in Canada at around $1000.00..... I guess getting one brand new in the store for closer to $500 would be a big(good) deal if you are in the market for a short battled mossberg.
As far as the shockwave grip being available in Canada I don't think they are at this point in time, so this model would be a bonus if you were interested in that setup .
You can buy an 18" mossberg and swap in the 14" kit pretty easily.
Done at the factory may be cooler, but this is already here in a parts kit and almost any Mossberg 88/500/590/590A1 shotgun + acquisition of the Shockwave Raptor Grip. Whether it's cheaper already done up, I don't know.

Ball park at $500 for the SG and $300 for the conversion means an $800 shotgun - versus hopefully $500 for the Shockwave and $150 for an SGA and sell the Raptor on the EE for $50. That difference will get you an ammo can of buckshot to play with.
You missed the point entirely.
