    Shotgun Wait Support Group thread

    Because not only new handgun purchasers need support.

    I'm on day three of my ten day waiting period for my Mossberg 590A1.
    For additional sympathy, I'll describe it in more detail:

    It's the 18.5" barrel, has 6+1 round capacity, a speed stock, and this thing that tells time.

    I simply couldn't afford the shoulder thing that goes up.

    I just bought a Springfield M6 Scout, kind of a shotgun... has a .22lr, and a .410 gauge!
    The inconvenience of poor quality lingers long after the thrill of a good bargain.

      Your 590A1 came with a clock?!

      And you know what's worse than the dreaded 10-day wait?? 11-DAY WAIT

      Congrats on your purchase

        Gonna hopefully be starting the wait on a Rossi Circuit Judge tomorrow. **fingers crossed**

        And wizdumb, you don't need the shoulder thingy that goes up as long as the boomy thingy makes stuff go down.

            Just be thankful that no one chooses to use the legal max of 15 days. (I just learned this factoid.)

            Yeah, I didn't get the Christmas Story reference either.

                Congrats!
                My first gun was actually a single shot break-action .410 shotgun. I remember my dad taking me to the gun store down the street, which was owned by the local police chief. I might have been 14 years old or so. Pretty sure we got the cheapest thing he had in stock. The rear leaf sight was snapped off and half of it was missing. I put *maybe* half a box of shells through it before selling it 10 years later.

                I always wanted a pump shotgun, even back then. This will be my first.

                  I also just bought a 590A1 9 shot with Ghost ring sights from Budsguns, being sent to my FFL but since I just ordered it I have weeks to wait, hope that news cheers you up some.

                    I know the feeling, mine is off for CeraKote as we speak cough**commercial*cough and the boss doesn't put me to the front of the line at all. So waiting to get the girl back from some make up is killing me as well.

                              I'm on day 2 of my 11 day wait (gotta love Big 5) for my Mossberg 500. I picked up a Marlin 725 too while I was at it. My wife will be out of town so I can sneak them into my safe w/o her noticing, "Why, I've always had those".
