    Someone could replace the raptor grip with a shoulder stock, BUT that action would require a SBS tax stamp.
    Raptor grip = it stays a "firearm" as manufactured by Mossberg.
    Shoulder stock = it becomes a "short barrel shotgun" (requiring a SBS tax stamp).

    I'm no lawyer, so this input is worth the cost paid.

    The 590 shockwave is all of these things (legally speaking)

    1. A "firearm"
    2. A PGO (pistol grip only)
    3. A non-NFA weapon


    It is NOT:

    1. A shotgun (no shoulder stock)
    2. A pistol (no rifled barrel)

    However Indiana law would classify it as a handgun for the purposes of lawful carry despite it's federal classification. We don't technically have to have a LTCH anymore but it's still something to keep in mind.

    Common sense tells us this is a shotgun that skirts a few laws, but the government is a stupid bureaucracy.

    like others have said, its just a gun (in factory form), not a pistol, not a shotgun.

    I call it a loop hole gun, I really see them as being classified someday the way things are going with the ATF
