Isn't the Shockwave useless enough? Seems everyone who bought one has already traded them off after shooting them and seeing how impractical and uncomfortable they are to shoot. Pointless fad, but good marketing.
I highly don't recommend shooting those gats one-handed.
Agreed... everyone has to try it at least once, I totally get that. As someone who had to try it once, and still carries the scar(s), I stand by my (whatever is the opposite of) recommendation.
Doubtful you'll do it a second time... I didn't.
Even w longer (18-19") barrels you're gonna want a hand on top, opposite of a pump-gun. Most doubles have a splinter fore end, not much grip there.
My scar is on the back of my trigger finger... the recoil pushed the steel trigger guard back into my finger, laid it open pretty good. Probably shoulda got stitches but hey, chicks dig scars, right... ?The rise resulting from recoil would cause most people to hit themselves with it.
Perfect example. These guns seem to be just a silly novelty, judging by how many people quickly sell them after purchase. They are a lot like the judge guns in that respect, very little practical use, just a novelty. For the folks who enjoy them, great, but manufacturers know the fad is over.
What AR craze? The market is flooded with them and they aren't selling. The AR craze is over too. Palmetto and other suppliers are practically giving them away. You can build one for not much more than a 10/22 costs. In fact, many wholesalers are offering buy X number, get one free deals.
Ya think? That'd be pretty cool, imo.
1) 20ga sbr double (WIN)
2) Comes from a front the antis didn't even know was open (WIN)
3) Same as #2, outraged antis (WIN)
4) Nostalgia and utility, not to mention coolness for days (WIN)
I've cut down a shotgun or two in my day, always keeping it legal*. But I'd pony-up for a reasonably priced SxS AOW if one were available. Who would make it, though? If they're restricted from importation (still unclear on that), what American manufacturer is tooled-up for it? Who could produce it and market it at a reasonable price?
*Tip: If yer gonna cut down a double and you want to keep it legal, cut the stock FIRST. Do your woodworking before you cut the barrel, you're likely to find the barrel needs to be longer than 18" to get you to legal OAL after the stock is cut... most of mine ended up at around 19".
I realize all that, which is why I included the part about cutting the stock first if you want to keep it legal w/out a stamp... the short reciever/grip (of a double) will dictate how long the barrels need to be to maintain legal OAL. Generally speaking, it'll take more than tbe customary 18"(+.25" for margin-of-error) used on a defensive semiauto or pump shotgun.If you cut down a shotgun that ever had a stock, you need an SBR tax stamp. Shockwaves and Tac-14 were built on receivers that never had stocks. This is the reason that they are not short barrel shotguns, they were never shotguns. Shotguns are intended to be fired from the shoulder, e.g. equipped with stocks.
