I added a GG&G sling plate/hand stop
Does the sling plate with sling give you a sense of hand security that you could remove the foregrip strap?
I added a GG&G sling plate/hand stop
First of all, thanks to: DarkPassenger308 for the IMGUR photo-site suggestion, as I too was caught-up in the Photobucket nightmare! Finished the last of the upgrades to my 590 Shockwave, I'm "done" (for now...). I added a GG&G sling plate/hand stop, a SJ&J Hardware high visibility Delrin follower, the OPSol mini-clip, and most recently (photos below, thanks to IMGUR): Talon rubberized grips, XS Big Dot tritium front sight and the ProMag PM262 enhanced safety with the Mossberg Safety Hex screw from SGFLLC.
Everything, but the new safety

I plan to keep the strap on the forend, however the sling plate/hand stop could be a back-up in a rush and I didn't get my hand in the strap. Primary purpose in my case, was as sling mount. I utilized a M1 Carbine type sling, like the Witness Protection shotguns had in the 1980s. Very easy to deploy from a muzzle down position.Does the sling plate with sling give you a sense of hand security that you could remove the foregrip strap?
I don't have actual dimensions, however if it helps, I used the standard QD sling swivels from Uncle Mikes, similar to this set below and it attached with no issues to the Shockwave birdshead grip stud:Does anyone on here know the dimensions/size of the sling swivel stud that is now being put on the Shockwave birdshead grip?
Thanks! Finally getting to head out to the country this weekend and pattern her, plus a friends Benelli SBS and also run a few rounds in my Serbu AOW. Looking forward to breaking-in the Shockwave!
The reason I was seeking the dimensions of the stud is that I wish to put a nylon spacer in-between the head of the stud and the grip itself. They have it tightened and it is not square without the spacer.I don't have actual dimensions, however if it helps, I used the standard QD sling swivels from Uncle Mikes, similar to this set below and it attached with no issues to the Shockwave birdshead grip stud:

Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend. Let us know how it went.Thanks! Finally getting to head out to the country this weekend and pattern her, plus a friends Benelli SBS and also run a few rounds in my Serbu AOW. Looking forward to breaking-in the Shockwave!
The customs of opossums instantly became something to discuss from the safety of a tree. [/QUOTE said:I can't imagine climbing a tree, in the dark, while holding my Shockwave.
I had the opportunity on Friday to finally take my Mossberg 590 “Shockwave” out and properly pattern her. In addition, I also brought my NFA-AOW Remington/Serbu 870 “Super Shorty” too for comparison. I was impressed with the below results and have full confidence in using the Shockwave as the new car/trip defensive unit!Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend. Let us know how it went.
