it should be 18 as it is not a handgun I would contact a local FFL and ask them

Hi Aaron, the only way to tell is with the serial number.

Aron you must be 21 years old. The Mossberg Shockwave is a firearm, not a long gun. Federal Law requires purchasers of firearms to be 21 years of age. Question 3 here : https://www.mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/MOSSBERG_590-SHOCKWAVE-PUMP-ACTION.pdf

Oh I read the question incorrectly. The purchase age is 21 for this firearm. mossberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/MOSSBERG_590-SHOCKWAVE-PUMP-ACTION.pdf

I was incorrect it is 21 to buy. From the Mossberg page "The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives has confirmed the 590 Shockwave as a "firearm" per the Gun Control Act (GCA), but not a Class 3/NFA firearm. Click here to read a copy of the letter from the BATFE regarding federal classification of the Shockwave, dated 3/2/2017). NOTE: This letter only speaks to its FEDERAL status. There could be local/state laws that prohibit the sale of this gun in your state. Consult your State Police for clarification. Just as with any other pistol grip firearm, the buyer must be *****21 years of age, and be a resident of the state where s/he is purchasing it".
