With an overall length of 26.37 inches, the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) has classified the compact 590 Shockwave platform as a “Non-NFA Firearm,” requiring no tax stamp for transfers. It has been classified and is considered a “firearm” under the Gun Control Act of 1968 (“GCA”), but it is not a long gun under GCA, and therefore Federal Law requires the purchaser of a 590 Shockwave to be 21 years of age.
Mossberg® was the first manufacturer to bring these 14-inch barreled, non-NFA firearms to the marketplace and now offers six 12-gauge models, a 20-gauge option and 410 bore from which to choose. For more information on the 590 Shockwave series, please visit www.mossberg.com.
Shockwave® is a trademark of Shockwave Technologies/Ewer Enterprises LLC. M-LOK® is a registered trademark of Magpul Industries Corp.
Disclaimer: Although the Mossberg 590 Shockwave is classified as a “firearm” under GCA, and is not subject to the provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA), state and local laws may be more restrictive. Although it is legal federally, the 590 Shockwave may be considered a “short-barreled” shotgun or “assault weapon” by certain state and local laws; and therefore illegal to possess. Please check with your local authorities concerning the legality of purchasing or possessing a firearm of this configuration.
