Mossberg's on the verge of shipping, I have an advance sample in limbo at my dealer right now.
Just to advise:
Mossberg does have the ATF nod of approval, I have a copy of their two-page letter to Mossberg greenlighting it, even with 14-inch barrel, as a GCA "firearm" and NOT an NFA "firearm".
In other words, the feds require nothing more than the usual 4473 process at the dealer/state level.
No tax stamp.
But- in my state the barrel may be illegal under state law.
We're trying to get a determination from the appropriate state agency, who will be conferring with the local ATF office to discuss the feds' reasoning & see if it can be applied to state law enforcement.
In the meantime, the gun sits in lockup, pending notice back from the state.
Check VERY thoroughly on YOUR local law before ordering one of these.
