My curiosity was piqued by the two toned comment. I Googled it and found one for sale on AR-15 forum. There was a picture of the SG and the box. I got the model number for it; 50658. I can't find it on the Mossberg website, but I found listings for the Mossberg Model 50658 Marincote on a couple of online seller sites. Apparently made for marine environments. I also saw on the Mossberg website they are now shipping the 20 Ga Shockwaves.JRG wrote:pbwalker wrote:I got the two tone

Yep, that's the one. I had no idea it was Marinecote.puma guy wrote:My curiosity was piqued by the two toned comment. I Googled it and found one for sale on AR-15 forum.

My problem is finding the mini-shells. They don't seem to be in stock anywhere. I already have the adaptor but haven't installed it because I have no ammo that will work.nimravus01 wrote:I shot some Aguila mini shells (buckshot) yesterday in my Shockwave. I am thinking they are the perfect mate to this firearm for the purpose of home defense. The recoil is a pussycat compaired to any other 2&3/4" buck I've tried. At 21 feet, (my maximum realistic HD scenerio,) they had about an 7 to 8 inch spread. With the Opso adapter, they cycled perfectly.
Let me just say that I'm a big guy, and at the range I don't find regular 2&3/4" shells unmanageable. However, thinking about the possibility of having to use it in the middle of the night, indoors, without ear pro, and probably not with the ideal stance/grip; I think the mini shells are the ticket.
Unless it was a .410 barrel (i.e. under 1/2" bore) they would probably say it's a destructive device.apostate wrote:Franklin Armory's new Reformation makes me wonder if a straight grooved barrel could be likewise assembled on a virgin 590 receiver to make a 14" barreled non-shotgun with a full stock.
Good point.

I know what you mean. I couldn't find them anywhere local at first. I had to drive to another town where a gun shop just happened to have a box. Needless to say, I didn't have a whole range day shooting these little buggers. Just enough to get a pattern and feel for them.Soccerdad1995 wrote: My problem is finding the mini-shells.
