I'm not even slightly interested a box magazine pump action, but one thing that would be nice (if it would occur) would be to finally have 12 gauge box magazines worth a damn, that one could then base a semiauto shotgun around. The achilles heel has always been the magazines.
Well, that, and 12 gauge shells not being designed for vertical loading in the first place. I'm still on the tube train because that's what the shells are suited for.
I’m way more interested in the magazine itself.
Maybe it's just the photo, but why leave the long tube? Twenty rounds mags are cool, but if I'm going to hang two pounds of ammo under a gun I could carry three times that if it were 5.56.

FYI - Remington is coming out with its own mag-fed shotgun line, but using single-stack magazines. - https://www.range365.com/remington-8...hable-magazine
Now what we need is someone to come up with a "firearm" version of a semi-auto platform that can accept the double-stack Mossberg mags...
I can’t imagine the mag pouch necessary to carry the spares. They make Surefire 60’s seem svelte.

I don't understand why they used the full-sized mag tube on the mag-fed Mossberg when they could (I assume) just as easily have based it off the Shockwave setup.
And we all know there's going to be a Shockwave version.
The Remington mag has these skinny little feed lip extension things that look fragile as hell to me - I bet they're good for exactly one drop on a hard surface. The Mossberg mags look and feel sturdier, though of course they'll weigh a lot more when loaded. Mossberg is also rock and lock, for good or ill.
