SBS’ing Mossberg’s 990 AfterShock: Short On Barrel, Not Performance

[Talyn]

The 990 Aftershock is manufactured from the start with a unique “Aftershock birdshead grip” and maintains an overall length greater than 26 inches. This is why it’s considered a “firearm” and not an NFA-regulated short-barrel shotgun (SBS), despite its 14.75-inch cylinder bore barrel. In other words, the Mossberg 990 has no stock and serves as a pistol-grip only shotgun.

While the appeal of the semi auto as opposed to pump action is strong, the extra 3" reduction in length isn't that important to me.

I’ll stick with my stock 1301 thanks. I don’t see a lot of juice for the squeeze in this one..

Always room for more shotguns. Different tools for different jobs. My favorite is my 1301 as well. It stayed stock for about 15 minutes after I brought it home. Went through about 3 different configurations before I found the one I liked best. So I got extra parts.
