Well, theories abound about what exactly happened between the BATFE, a handful of Congress critters, and the NRA—and why Mossberg suddenly and without explanation stopped selling a legal product to law-abiding citizens earlier this year. I won’t get into all that here. I’m just happy to report that, as of today, Mossberg is once again selling the 14″ front ends for the Mossberg 500 12-gauges.

If you’re in the market for one, give Mossberg Customer Support a call at 1-800-363-3555 and simply order part number 92514. Note that there has been a substantial price increase. In March 2015—before the “event”—the price of the kit was $185.53. Today, the new price is an even $245.00 plus shipping through Mossberg. When I asked, the Mossberg rep couldn’t say why the price had jumped more than 30 percent.

Shockwave Technologies will soon be offering now offers these 14″ front end kits on our website and through our other online channels here for $241.95 plus $15 shipping.

More information on the non-NFA 26.5″ Mossberg 500 is available here.

Today, we are proud to introduce a complete Blade kit for H&K MP5K/SP89/SP5K pistols and clones. The kit includes everything you need to install the sleek, sexy, lightweight Shockwave Blade on your MP5K-style pistol:

• Shockwave Blade, black with cone-point set screw
• KAK Shockwave tube with dimples
• KAK castle nut
• AR adapter for MP5K-style pistols (complete with “H” buffer)
• Two 10-32 x 1/4″ dog-point set screws

We are currently shipping these comprehensive kits at the low price of just $125.

As most of you know, since April I have been fighting a patent lawsuit in federal court. The lawsuit was filed by SB Tactical, a company that makes a product that, like the Blade, attaches to an AR buffer tube.

Without boring you with the details, the lawsuit is a design patent infringement lawsuit. I am told that the test for design patent infringement is whether an ordinary observer would think the patented design and the Blade look so similar that it’s confusing.

My attorney created these composite images showing the design patent drawings overlaid on the Blade. What do you think?

So what do you think? Are the patent drawings and the Blade so similar that you’re confused? Personally, every time I look at these drawings I am amazed that this lawsuit even exists.

Although my attorney says we don’t need it, one way we can show the court how different the patent and the Blade are is by comparing the patent to earlier products. For example, the Plaintiff thinks that Fig. 5 looks like my product. But Fig. 5 looks at least as much like an M4 stock:

Since the patent drawings look like an M4 stock, which has been around for many years, the Plaintiff’s claim is moot.

So here’s where you come in. If you would like to help us fight this lawsuit, we welcome your input. Please send photos of gun parts that look like the patent drawings to this email address: shockwave_f7fd@sendtodropbox.com. The photos have to be older than January 28, 2013. It’s helpful if you can describe the photo or where you found it. And if you could share this blog post on forums and social media, we would be very grateful.

Thank you for your continued support of Shockwave.

Thank you and God Bless,

A tremendous heartfelt thank you to each and every one of our industry donors—both large and small. Every dollar helped us reach our goal last month. After subtracting our attorneys’ initial retainer and paying the monthly legal fees for May, June, July, and August, you’ll be proud to know that today our war chest stands at $561,822.74. We’re ready to take on and defeat this frivolous lawsuit. It still amazes me that, in this free country (which I proudly served for 5 years), someone can abuse the legal system so blatantly to try to squeeze the little guy out of the market. Well, this little guy is ready for the fight now. Thank you again to you all. Let’s do this thing!

We just received a batch of KAK Industry-designed pistol buffer tube adapters for the SIG MPX pistol. We’ve assembled these adapters with all the other components necessary to add the Shockwave Blade pistol stabilizer to your SIG MPX pistol—and significantly improve its usability. Learn more here.

Now that the Shockwave Blade pistol stabilizer is officially 2015’s must-have item, we are proud to announce that, working with KAK, we have developed a kit that includes everything you need to install the sleek, sexy, lightweight Shockwave Blade on your badass SIG MPX pistol:

• Blade pistol stabilizer
• KAK Shockwave tube
• Adapter for MPX
• Mounting hardware for adapter
• Castle nut

We will begin shipping these kits later this month. Estimated street price is just $105—for the complete kit!

(Please note that the adapter shown in the picture above is just a 3D-printed R&D item to give you an idea of the overall design.)

The Shockwave Blade pistol stabilizer is turning out to be 2015’s must-have pistol accessory. Look for a comprehensive review of the Blade by The Truth About Guns in a few weeks.

Adding to our repertoire of innovative products is a complete kit for installing the sleek, lightweight Shockwave Blade on your CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 pistol. Everything you need to outfit your Scorp’ with the Blade for just $125. More information can be found here.

Our legal defense fund just surpassed $250,000 this morning. Thank you to each and every one of our donors and customers. We are going to beat these guys and their frivolous lawsuit.

Thank you to everyone who has donated money to help us fight Alex Bosco’s lawsuit.

We received a check this morning for $5,000 to add to our defense fund. My family and I can’t say thank you enough to you and your business. (It’s understandable that you want to remain anonymous as well. I mean, you don’t want Alex Bosco and Grant Shaw suing you, too. LOL) Thank you. I will give you a call in a few minutes to thank you personally.

We are now sold out of 50-round ZMAGs. We still have some 30-rounders in stock. If you would like to get on the waiting list for the next batch of 50-rounders, please email us at shockwavetechnologies@gmail.com. The next batch should be ready by late July.

Thank you to all our great customers,

We have now accumulated just shy of $210,000 in our legal fund to help defend us against Alex Bosco’s and Grant Shaw’s lawsuit. We are people of principle. We will never give up. And we are going to beat these guys. Stay tuned.

We are all caught up with our waiting list. (Whew.) And we are down to the last few 50-rounders. (They went a lot faster than we thought they would.) It will be early July before we have them in stock again. If you want a 50-rounder—or six—call me at 801-815-5178 to place your order by phone.

Thank you to all our great customers,
Marty
