The Mossberg 990 Aftershock is reviewed as a potential Short Barreled Shotgun (SBS) host, noted for its gas-operated action and compatibility with Magpul SGA stocks. However, the firearm exhibits significant reliability issues, particularly with lighter ammunition, due to a theorized weak extractor. Mechanical flaws like the M-LOK ratchet system backing out also detract from its performance.

This review details the range testing of the Bear Creek Arsenal 15-22 22LR upper receiver. Initial tests with Federal Champion ammunition revealed cycling issues due to inconsistent loads. However, switching to Remington Ranch Hand ammunition resulted in significantly improved reliability and tighter shot groups at 30 yards, indicating the upper is a capable and lightweight plinker when paired with quality ammunition.
