No, it is not.
Hi Jeremy and welcome to the Buds community. No, the standard Mossberg 990 Aftershock SPX (with the 14.75-inch barrel and birdshead grip) is not classified as an NFA item; it is considered a Title 1 "Firearm". Because it is manufactured with a pistol grip (no shoulder stock) and has an overall length exceeding 26 inches, it does not meet the definition of a Short-Barreled Shotgun. Classification: So, it (requires no tax stamp). Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
The Mossberg 990 Aftershock SPX "is not"considered an NFA item. 👍🏻‼️
The Aftershock is not considered a NFA item. It's classified as a "other" weapon
Good evening to you!! The mossberg 990 aftershock Spx is not considered a NFA item. It fall under the classification of other. Hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 'Merica' 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes, the 990 SPX Magpul - Class 3 (model 83014) is classified as a Class 3/NFA firearm because it is a short-barreled shotgun (SBS) with a 14.75-inch barrel. The 990 SPX Magpul variant is explicitly sold as an NFA item, whereas the original, 2025 "Aftershock" featured a specialized grip to avoid this classification. Key Details: Classification: It is classified as an NFA Short-Barreled Shotgun (SBS), requiring a $200 tax stamp. Features: It features a 14.75-inch barrel, a Magpul SGA stock, and is designed for tactical use. Model Designation: While Mossberg lists it as a "Class 3" item, other versions (like the base Aftershock) have been classified as "Other" under the Gun Control Act.
Hi Jeremy, no sir, the Mossberg 990 Aftershock SPX is not classified as an NFA item because it has an overall length exceeding 26 inches and is designed without a traditional stock, which allows it to fall into the "other" category rather than being classified as a shotgun, as shown here >>> https://www.mossberg.com/990-aftershock-spx-83010.html No tax stamp or registration required. (Only model 83014, which has a Magpul stock, is a class 3 item) >>> mossberg.com/990-spx-magpul-class-3-83014.html Stay safe & have a great day!
