I think that if you are correct you're going to end up with a bunch of NFA weapons you have to register ($200 tax stamp each right?) and that you won't be able to sell unless the buyer also gets permission from the BATF to buy it from you.
Or maybe I have a misunderstanding of how the whole NFA thing works.

How many is that? And what do you plan on doing with them?
A pointless enterprise. But it's your money, not mine (thank goodness).

I say this as I did the same with open bolts and street sweepers. I made some 500% on them.
Didn't know if any of you all had done that before.
NO im discussing how many I have purchased. LOL

I'm pretty well set for rimfires... DID order an extra K of 5.56 this morning though.
I have a lot of useless items that I have collected along the way, but the Shockwave is in the pile simply because I can own one here in Texas. Remington also has their version as well which may just wind up in the pile too......maybe in 20 gauge just to be different. I don't really need a reason although it is fun to chap my friend in California that can't own a single thing I own.....we have been competing since high school and now we are 60 plus year old men still competing......keeps us young.

For anyone that does not understand the place for the shockwave, please go to YouTube and look up Clint Smith and the Shockwave. All us gun folks need to understand as many platforms as we can. After viewing this you will have a complete understanding of what this firearm is for.
Please, don't go another day saying something about something without having the straight skinny on it. This is something you need to understand so you can have a real conversation about whether or not it is for you.

I once saw a person put a pistol grip on one of the Mossbergs that has the bayonet lug. Three heavy loads and he put the shoulder stock back on. A shoulder stock helps control even when shooting from the hip. Larry

Mind you these types of shorter-than-normal-barreled, not-a-shotguns have been around for many years, it's just that now we have them being sold by a major manufacturer. I spoze it's possible that now that they're getting more exposure and popularity, the bureaucrats may deem they need to be restricted even though they've been sold openly previously.
Not to mention the Black Aces jobbies.

What with the loosening of pistol brace restrictions and the climate at the ATF, congress and the White House, I think they're safe. Then again I thought Glocks were ugly plastic novelties that would never get popular.
This isn't a shotgun...

I love mine. It shoots great and is quite controllable. It is a short-range weapon, so accuracy is irrelevant. Even so, Hickok45 can smack a steel gong at 100+ yards with a slug out of one. It's great home-invader medicine, too.

I don't think the Shockwave will require a tax stamp. But if that comes to pass how will it increase the value of a Shockwave? You can buy SBR AR15s and others for the same price as a standard 16in. How will the Shockwave be any different if the Feds put them in a SBS category? What's your plan?
Now if the Feds ban new manufacture of all short barrel rifles/shotguns for transfer to civilian use like they did with automatics that would make the Shockwave more valuable. If you're betting on that... good luck.
The Remington 870 Tac-14 is about the same price as the Shockwave. Remington has a $50 rebate on all 870s through 10-15. That'd put the price around $300.
I'm quite pleased with my Shockwave.

Might as well stock up on the Remlington 870 Tac 14 while you are at it.
I also have no need for either of them.

Phil, may not matter to some but the 870 holds one less round.I don't think the Shockwave will require a tax stamp. But if that comes to pass how will it increase the value of a Shockwave?

If I want an NFA shotgun I want it done right with stock and all. That being said I don't see the value of that shotgun at all let alone with extra $200

All these comments against the Shockwave sound a lot like comments we all get from anti-gun people. "What do you need one of those for? I don't need one, so neither do you." No need to knock other people's choices in firearms. Now, how about a group hug? 
I smell a thread closure comin'.

Do we really need to have Clint Smith show us what a defensive shotgun is for? Other than don't bust yourself in the face with it or have you hand go over the muzzle?

The original question was "what's your opinion". In my opinion it's a toy. I have no interest in it. You on the other hand can buy all the toys you want!All these comments against the Shockwave sound a lot like comments we all get from anti-gun people. "What do you need one of those for?

For anyone who wants to discuss the practicality and usefulness (or not) of the Shockwave in greater detail, there is a quite lengthy thread elsewhere devoted to that issue.
As for the OP's question, I'm not sure that, once the novelty has worn off, it's going to be attractive enough to bank on it becoming an object of high desirability if it becomes an NFA item, and therefore suitable for speculation.
Based on a one-time try-out of someone else's Shockwave, plus watching the most often referenced YT videos, I think it's a lot of fun to shoot, but also a solution in search of a problem. It does nothing particularly well that a good full-size handgun on the one hand or a short-barreled stocked shotgun on the other don't do better.
