Have you run the SBA4? I don't hate it at all, and I hate everything.

Definitely give the SBA4 a shot. I ran one in a carbine course earlier in the month and it didn’t bother me a bit.
Ill check it out, thanks brother.
To be clear, the sbA4 is adjustable like an AR15 carbine stock. The sbM4 is not, and is retained on a "pistol" buffer tube by friction. Definitely not what you want.
The SBA4 is available for $99 with a buffer tube on Durkin Tactical with code SBA. I'm not affiliated, but I did snag a couple of them when they were $10 cheaper and they shipped quickly and arrived fine.
From someone who has SBS'd a shockwave. It will shoot a foot high at 7 yards with any full sized buttstock added to it. A shockwave was my first NFA item and now I hate it. I am waiting to have ghost rings added to it so maybe it is useable. The barrel has NO taper to it causing for me at least to not be able to get a good sight picture. I tried the SGA and a 12" hogue and could still see half of the barrel resulting in the shots going high.
I've tried both the Magpul SGA and a 12" Hogue. it has the XS taller front sight on it already.
On a pump gun the Remington LE armorer guru, Lyle Wheelock, taught to adjust via the mag tube. I've done it on the range using a receiver hitch receptacle on the back of our range van.
I'd have to see you in your shooting stance, but shooting high is a pretty common thing for folks who bury the stock in their shoulder. To mount the shotgun keep your head erect, bring the comb of the stock up until it hits your cheek, and then back to the shoulder. The range mantra is 'head erect, up to the cheek, back to the shoulder.'
The flat portion of the upper receiver serves as the rear sight plane on non-ribbed police/HD barrels, the bead should appear to be sitting on the rear sight plane, just as the sun appears to be sitting on the edge of the world as it begins to drop below the horizon as seen in the South Pacific.
Check to see if you are doing that.
Good luck.
