Re: HB 1819 makes shockwave legal

But the shockwave isn't just a short stock, it also brings the barrel down to 14 inches while even a folder shotgun must still have a 18+.
Effectively it's the same loophole as a pistol AR using a "arm brace" stock.

If we can get rid of NFA and GCA of course everything would change, hehe.

Guess my lurker status for this forum is over, lol.

Re: HB 1819 makes shockwave legal

I agree it has many practical downsides, but I can also easily see where such a compact package could fill some important niches. If things ever go completely to hell nobody will care about NFA, but until then a legal SBS has its place. It isn't going deer hunting with me but might get a concealed place in my truck or boat.

My home defense shotgun will be a KSG or benelli and the like, but a shockwave would be something you can hide in the living room couch :)

HB 1819 makes shockwave legal

http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2017/0 ... -1819-85r/

Just saw this on TTAG cause I was hoping to pick up a shockwave and was surprised to learn we can't have them in Texas. That is until Abbot signs this bill. Seems that the language in 1819 that is meant to legalize cans if HPA ever passes will also apply to any loophole guns that ever make it through the ATF maze.

Bonus. :anamatedbanana
