Finally found one. Mossberg 590 A-1.

Wheelgunner, I had to special order that gun. Most dealers did not carry them. They all wanted to sell me Model 500s. I have only seen 2 or 3 like mine. they all had the same light colored welds. I have had it about 2 years and have not seen another one for sale.
Roose, I walked into a gun store one day and saw that gun on the rack. It was not imported by Browning. It was made by FN in Belgium. Supposedly sent to Africa. Then imported into this country by Century Arms. I have only seen 4 or 5 of them. I talked to a guy from Century at Knob Creek once. He told me they had only imported a few hundred of them.

Hopefully we will be at the range at the same time soon. The weather sure is improving. I'll bring it along two weekends from now to put it through it's paces!

Got my attention to. I have a Remington Model 11 I am trying to tacticalize. What is the mag capacity on yours.

 

[Waldo]

I have not shot it in a couple of years. I think it was 8 in the tube + 1 in chamber for a total of 9. But it might be 7 +1. I would have to load it to be sure. I have not seen a lot of info on these.

I have the 890 in your configuration for my home defense shot gun. I cut off the bayonet lug to allow installation of a Shur Fire forend. The bright light and 8+1 capacity, along with the ghost ring sights are great.

Mine came with a speed stock this holds 4 additional rounds. I keep loaded with #4 buck and slugs in stock. This gun is very heavy loaded and absorbs recoil really well. My wife can handle this shotgun just fine.

Congrats on your new shotgun.

The catalog states that it's 8+1 if using 2 3/4" shells, and 7+1 if using the 3" shells.

Thanks Happy Hunter.

Wow...nice piece.

I've got a Mossberg 500 but she's not nearly as slick as that one. we are going to need a range report.

 

[Careby]

Don't forget when using your shotgun and bayonet that if you get your bayonet stuck in something you can just pull the trigger and use the recoil to break it free. A 12 gauge is much better at this than a 5.56mm...

 

[Wheelgunner840]

Bassamatic, you can count on a range report. I am looking forward to dialing in that ghost ring sight for slugs and ooo buck, but not looking forward to the bruised shoulder which is likely to result!

Careby, the only way I could ever see that scenario playing out is if we were right all along, and there is a zombie outbreak!

My dad said that his Navy DI told him the same thing in 1942, while using the M1 Garand.

I always figured that if I needed to use the pig sticker, I wouldn't have any more bollitts...

I wouldn't underestimate the bayonet if you can get some decent training on its use. While not commonly used, it does have its place. And you won't have to worry about over-penetrating your walls. A quarter-turn of your weapon left or right will break it free and open the wound.

I have spent most of my life closing up wounds. I pray I never have to cause one that severe. Actually, i think blades are more dangerous than firearms. They are always loaded!


BTW, She gets to come home tomorrow! (The gun, not the bayonet.)

I guess it will be a Pumper-not nickel hold the bayo!!!

OK, that was pretty bad even by my low standards!

ParadiseRoad,
It appears that if one were to be on the receiving end of that, there would be no need to try to close up any wounds! Vicious looking little weapon!
