The Remington 870 Tac 14 is a non-NFA firearm, transferring just like any Title 1 pistol, rifle, or shotgun. It features a 14″ barrel, associated 870 front-end components, Magpul M-Lok forend—and the Shockwave Technologies Raptor Grip for R870.
We are very honored that Remington chose our Raptor Grip to complete their 870 Tac-14 firearm.
I just got off the phone with a very nice gentleman at ATF Tech Branch—who was fielding these calls today. (He was, understandably, very well versed on the subject—and very nice about it even though he’s been on the phone all day, repeating himself ad nauseam.) I identified myself and asked him specifically if the letter that’s making the rounds is limited to one company’s products–or if it applies to all pistol stabilizing braces. He said: “The letter covers all pistol stabilizing braces, including the Shockwave Blade.” So that settles that.
So there you have it. Anything you read to the contrary on a web forum, social media site, or industry blog is simple misinformation by people who are not being completely honest.
As you’ve probably heard or read by now, the ATF has clarified its position on shouldering pistol stabilizers. They’ve opined that sporadic or situational shouldering of a pistol stabilizer doesn’t automagically create an NFA item.
And credit where credit’s due: Kudos to those who pushed for the clarification.
With 2016 officially in the books, Shockwave is happy to report that it was a banner year for us. And 2017 is already shaping up to be even bigger. To show our appreciation to our past and future customers, we are lowering the price of Blade pistol stabilizers from $48.95 to $42.95. (We’ve reduced the price of complete kits, too.) Our goal is to keep earning the business of our repeat customers and that of our new customers. Besides, who doesn’t like to save a few bucks on their AR parts? 😉 Find our selection of pistol stabilizers and attachment kits here.
On November 15, 2016, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued US Patent No. D771,765 for the Blade pistol stabilizer. The Blade features a vertical “rudder” that the user stabilizes against the inside of their forearm when in the firing position. Its design gives the user additional support of a firearm while it is still held and operated with one hand. “I couldn’t be more proud that the Patent and Trademark Office honored me with a patent for my unique pistol stabilizer,” remarked Martin Ewer, President of Shockwave Technologies LLC.

Mossberg has introduced the 590 Shockwave 12-gauge firearm. A non-NFA firearm, these transfer just like any Title 1 pistol, rifle, or shotgun. It features a 14″ barrel and associated 590 front-end components as well as the Shockwave Technologies Raptor Grip for M500.
Team Shockwave is very proud and honored that Mossberg has chosen to pair our grip with their newest offering.
The part number is 50659 (UPC 015813506595). You can find the release information here: https://www.mossberg.com/category/series/590-shockwave/

We still have about 100 black Blades that just “didn’t make the cut” with the QC department. But they’re still very usable. Most of these “factory seconds” have a small flaw on the top surface where the sprue was cut during production. We only have these in black. And the quantity is very limited. Order using the button below:
Outfitted with the excellent Lage Manufacturing MAX-31 and MAX-31A uppers. These are 30-round stick mags designed to fit original Suomi M31 guns and again those MACs with the Lage MAX-31(a) uppers. We started shipping these just this morning.

In an effort to continually improve our great products, we have begun shipping ZMAGs with our new, improved polymer followers and inserts.
The new followers feature a reduced surface area where the follower makes contact with the inside of the mag body. This ensures the follower can smoothly progress up the mag as you empty your firearm at rates up to 3,000 RPM*.
The inserts are now plastic (versus formed sheet steel). This new insert features a “taller” and “squarer” button for engaging the hole in the floorplate better.
Find ZMAGs here.
*That’s the fastest we could get our test M11-A1 to run. If you have a faster gun, let us know. Videos are always a plus. 🙂
You asked for it. You got it. We have added a plug to the Raptor Grip for the Mossberg 500. This makes for a more attractive grip and aids in keeping dirt and debris away from the mounting bolt.
With this Gen 2, we also made improvements to the Raptor Grip, including how it fits the firearm’s receiver and the shape of the mounting bolt hole. Find it here for the same great price.
(Note: Because the mounting bolt hole is a different shape than before, the new plug isn’t compatible with the older style of Raptor Grip for the Mossberg 500.)
We’re getting settled in our new location. And we’re able to take online and phone orders again. Everything (with the exception of CZ Scorpion adapters) is available. (We should have more CZ adapters within the next 10 days.)
Thank you for hanging in there with us during the move. It’s been a lot of work. But the good people of Florida have been extremely welcoming. We’re very happy to be here. 🙂
