Buying all the shockwaves i can

[ChattanoogaPhil]

Phil, may not matter to some but the 870 holds one less round.

Right. And I don't care for the safety position nor absence of a hand strap on the Remington. That said, I don't think any of that is a consideration for the OP who is thinking he can turn a profit based on future Fed legislation.

I'm not sure of the future value of the Shockwave but I'm definitely ordering a few AR15 binary triggers.

If, and that's a bif IF, the yput the Shockwave on NFA, it would be an AOW, not a SBS (no shoulder stock), so only a five dollar tax.

yeah I just have a pretty good feeling it will be listed. Once that happens tis going to go up. with the initial investment of 300-320 for both AND the rem rebate. it makes for a pretty good investment. I cannot get that good of a return on 4000.00 anywhere right now so YEAH its a gamble and in the mean time I can up armor my neighbors when the zombies come after us.
I have pretty good knowledge on some the (IIC) idiots in charge and they really don't like it when some smart atty goes and makes them look like an idiot. PLUS if they leave it like this it means the industry will have plenty of "ammo" to de-reg other shotguns, SBS and AOW's.

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.

Whats your opinion?

Don't post stuff like this

 

[CalmerThanYou]

My broker suggested I stick with Procter & Gamble,,,what a party pooper.

 

[Cal44]

I don't intend to buy one

But the marketing person who decided to call it a Shockwave should get a bonus.

Great name.

All these comments against the Shockwave sound a lot like comments we all get from anti-gun people.

Well, just for the record (if anyone's keeping a record), I was probably one of the first people in town to get a Shockwave. There were zero Shockwaves here, but I found one, and only one, NIB at a gun show.

And now gun shops here have stopped selling the things because they're afraid they'll be breaking some obscure little North Carolina law. One LGS has about 20 in stock, but won't put 'em out for sale. Go figure.

I smell a thread closure comin'.

While I may question the purpose or reasons for "buying all I can", I'm not making fun of anyone's choice of the Shockwave as a personal/home defense weapon. Any gun that throws multiple projectiles from a cylinder bore barrel is going to be deadly at close range.

Thread closure? You just never know when a thread's gonna take a nosedive. This one could be losing altitude.

IBTL.

It may be a good investment, it may be a bust....but it's a hell of a lot more fun than a regular savings account.

 

[Kanewpadle]

There's only one reason to "buy all you can". So you can gouge those later that weren't fortunate enough to find one earlier. Not a big fan of that kind of dealing.

But I'm urging you to buy all you can because nothing good will come of it.

 

[Drm50]

I am shocked, shocked that there is a big market for these
Sawed off Shotgun Pistols. The only advantage they have is
concealment. A stock makes them a lot more controlable
especially with full power and magnum loads. But as I read the
regs a shotgun with a stock would still have to have 18" of
barrel and be 26" OAL. It don't make sense to me. But then
again nothing the Govt does is designed to make sense.

I am not sure why there is such polarization around this, maybe it is the weapon, maybe it is the OP's attitude toward acquiring all he can, or his mercenary motives........it doesn't bother me that folks may have feelings about both, but what I don't understand is assumptions about the functionality of the gun. If you have not shot it, find one and give it a try. It is really pretty easy to shoot accurately and safely at least for me. I had my doubts but bought one to try and low and behold it was really no big deal. It rides with me in the truck and on the tractor and will dispatch the errant rodent and snake with aplomb......we all have different reason for collecting and differ in our likes and dislikes but I just can't figure why such hate for the thing or reasons why someone would own one.....I was set to be a hater of it until I tried it......it is a nifty little tool.

 

[Don~Z~]

I'm still waiting for mine, I had to special order it, to each their own...

This is a twofer - it attracts people that hate the Shockwave and people that hate speculation. A perfect thread...

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Just me thinking....Isn't buying a bunch of these, holding and then selling for a profit considered a bid'ness and thusly requiring an FFL. I mean if this is what I was planning to so I sure as HELL would not be posting my intentions on an internet forum nor bragging on the markup I made on street sweepers. the word "Dumb ***" comes to mind.

 

[bnolsen]

Last time I checked the aguila short shells were OOS everywhere. Is that still the case? Otherwise I'm not sure I would personally find use for one of these. I did plunk down some 20usd or whatever to get get one of these grips on my normal mossberg 500. I couldn't stand the stock pistol grip mossberg shipped with it.

As for running a business? Doubt that. He's just a collector.

 

[2152hq]

Nothing I'm interested in at any price.
But it's still the USA so people can pretty much do with their cash as they want to and speculate with it.
If you want to buy a bunch with the idea of the price going up in the future,,go for it.
Buying stock,,AR's, primers or 22 ammo is/was the same thing.
Sometimes it works out,,sometimes not so much.
Timing and a few other uncontrollable factors are everything.

The initial purchases keeps the gun companys afloat and a lot of people working,,that's a good thing.

Just think of how many MORE Mossberg could sell if they had named it:

TACTICAL Shockwave!!


Phil. You really, really need to resize your pics again!

DING!

This topic was making the rounds quite some time ago in my home state of Ohio. IIRC Mossberg has gone through all the proper channels and submitted the design to the NFA for approval prior to marketing and distributing it. Maybe I misunderstood the OP, but believe me, the ATF isn't going to suddenly "discover" the Shockwave nor suddenly "decide" it is a SBS or DD. Having said that, the public misperception of the Shockwave as being a "naughty" weapon is, although unintentional, a great marketing tool for Mossberg.
