Hello, all.
I got my shockwave new from the shop a few months back. I ran a couple boxes through it at the range and decided I liked it enough to want to make it better for my use case. In the process of installing a laser saddle, a safety switch with a larger ridge and a flash light out front, I started to notice a few things.
1. The safety switch. I ordered this part from NDZ Performance. I was in a hurry and the safety dropped into the body of the gun where the trigger group is housed. I got to take the weapon apart a bit more than I had planned for, as a result. It was a little bit of a hassle, but I got it back together just fine. It moves firmly from ready to safe and passes all function tests. Problem is, this safety switch rocks a little in either position. I've reached out to NDZ, I've disassembled and reassembled a few times, even re-installing the stock switch to see if the wobble was present when it was installed (it wasn't). I was hoping someone might give me an idea for what could be going on that I'm missing.
2. in the course of installing the new parts, I've noticed that the fore end of my shockwave doesn't move as far down the mag tube as it does in any video or photo of a shockwave I can find on line.It's not a subtle difference, either. I'm talking a few inches from the magazine cap. Again, the weapon "dry cycles" all sizes of shells without apparent issue (I've not *fired* it since I noted this condition). I've reached out to Mossberg and plan to go to the gun shop where I bought it, but I'm not seeing any obvious issue with the weapon or it's assembly.
Again, I'm hoping someone here might think of something I haven't and help me out...
Thank you.
