Every time I want one, I talk myself out of it, then I see threads like this and how bad ass they look lol

Gear Gripz, GG&G modified Magpul forend, Promag Safety, XS Big Dot, and Velcro shell holder. It's over the top, but IDGAF lol.

How have the Gear Gripz held up? I was going to get them after seeing your original post but was concerned the edges would curl.

what are the legalities to piecing one together at home?
i heard you could buy a pistol grip shotgun then put the
birdseye grip on and chop the barrel and still be legal

As good as talon grips so far.

Before they marketed them as "Shockwaves", a lot of people used to call them Mossberg Raptors because of the grip. As far as I know, building it yourself was the only way to get one a few years back. You could find the parts list right on Shockwave's website. Legality doesn't seem to have changed much. Except now you can buy a cool lug piece to cap your mag and barrel.

The base shotgun has to be pistol grip only (PGO) regardless.

Not possible . Its made this way or you are risking large prison time over a crappy mossberg . Whoever told you that is an idiot and you should not listen to them anymore .

Same exact kit but now installed by you . Illegal. If you want one buy it new . This is a small loophole technicality shotgun. Don’t happen much but it happens

I think trying to use sights on these are really not an option I put a rail on the top and this mini-laser that works with a push button on the back. Lined up with the front sight it works great held at any angle for being on target. I also modded a magpul forearm (and put the mossberg handle on it for safety) as well. It is kept loaded with Aguila mini shells buckshot.

think this is the route im gonna go if a cheap 500 or 88 pops up later on

it would suite me fine and it would be a lot cheaper

How did you modify the Magpul? Was it for a 500 originally?
