15 All-Purpose, Hunting and Tactical Versions of World’s Best-Selling Pump-Action
North Haven, CT – With over 10 million Mossberg 500 pump-actions sold, industry-leading firearms manufacturer, O.F. Mossberg and Sons, Inc., is pleased to announce a new series of left-handed, pump-action shotguns, the Mossberg 500/590/590A1 L Series. Now, left-handed shooters can choose from 15 versions of the same dependable, workhorse platform that has served sportsmen and women, law enforcement and military personnel alike for over 53 years.
For 2015, Mossberg will offer nine general-purpose and hunting versions of the 500 L Series including a 500 FLEX™ TLS™ System All-Purpose which can easily be re-configured using Mossberg’s FLEX TLS accessory forends, stocks and recoil pads; 500 All-Purpose; 500 Turkey, 500 Waterfowl and slug-specific models; 500 Field/Deer Combo (2 barrel set); and to start your young Southpaw off with a shotgun that fits, the 500 Super Bantam™ with an adjustable length-of-pull (LOP) system. Six tactical models are available including the military-approved 590A1 9-Shot; a heat-shield version of the 590 9-Shot; and three 6-shot, or an optional 8-shot, 500 Tactical shotguns including two Cruiser®/Persuader® packages. Both 12 and 20-gauge versions are available in select models. The All-Purpose and Hunting guns feature black synthetic stocks; fully-camouflaged Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity® (Turkey) and Realtree MAX-4® (Waterfowl) synthetic stocks with complementing camo barrels and receivers; and Dual Comb® wood stocks with ISB (cantilever) fully-rifled barrels in the hard-hitting 500 Slugster® platform. Mossberg 500/590/590A1 L Series Tactical shotguns have standard, full-length black synthetic stocks; included pistol grip (Cruiser/Persuader packages) or optional 6-position adjustable stock (500 Tactical); all with fixed cylinder-bore barrels. Various sight systems are available including twin bead or single bead sight; fiber optic sights; ISB (integral scope base) cantilever; and XS® Ghost Ring sights.
The 500/590/590A1 L Series is based upon the time-tested 500 pump-action platform with non-binding twin action bars, positive steel-to-steel lock-up and anti-jam elevator for smooth, reliable operation; dual extractors; anodized aluminum receiver for added durability, yet less overall weight and better balance; versatile vent rib ACCU-CHOKE™ barrel (excluding Slugster® and Tactical models); and universally-recognized, ambidextrous top-mounted safety.
Adding to the versatility of its sister platform, the 590 L Series 9-Shot pump-action features increased shell capacity (2 ¾-inch) with its 20-inch barrel length and open-ended, flush magazine tube design. The design of the mag tube also offers an easy-access cleanout. If you prefer a battle-proven design, choose the Mossberg 590A1, which is the only pump shotgun to pass U.S. Armed Services Mil Spec 3443 Requirements and has served in multiple Branches of the U.S. Military (25 Years+) and continues to do so. The Mossberg 590A1 L Series 9-Shot shotgun has a heavy-walled barrel, designed for the harshest of environments with its Parkerized finish; metal trigger guard and safety button; extended magazine capacity; and easy-cleanout mag tube.
With all the field-proven features of the 500 pump-action platform that have delivered the ultimate in reliability and durability for over 53 years and 10 million strong, Mossberg is proud to bring a family of left-landed 500/590/590A1 L Series pump-action shotguns to hunters, shooters, law enforcement and military personnel around the world.
