Does this one cycle the short shells?

Hi Glen, you will need the OpSol adapter to cycle mini shells https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/36595/opsol+texas+miniclip+mini-clip+for+mossberg+500+590+12+gauge+1+round+polymer+black+finish , . Or you can buy the 590S, which is specifically made to cycle mini shells https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/150459/mossberg+%26+sons+590s+tactical+or+12+20+13rd , . Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Glen and welcome. Since this is not the 590s which was purpose built to function reliably with mini-shells, this will function reliably with the OpSol adapter here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/36595/opsol+texas+miniclip+mini-clip+for+mossberg+500+590+12+gauge+1+round+polymer+black+finish ------------------ Cheers and stay safe!

not without the adapter the 590s models will cycle short shells without a adapter but the standard 590 like this one needs the adapter https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/36595/opsol+texas+miniclip+mini-clip+for+mossberg+500+590+12+gauge+1+round+polymer+black+finish

Out of the box, no. Only the 590S models are designed to work with those from the factory. The regular 500/590/590A1 are still reportedly quite reliable with an adapter for the mini shells if you like the features of the A1 specifically.

Does this model include a bayonet? Or would I have to purchase one?

Daniel, this gun has a bayonet lug, but the bayonet must be purchased separately. Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Daniel and welcome. You would have to purchase a bayonet separately. https://www.combathunting.com/MOSSBERG-Bayonet_For_Mossberg_590_Shotguns.html --- Cheers and stay safe!

is this shotgun NJ legal?

Hyung, yes sir, this gun is 100% legal to own in NJ. There are no capacity restrictions on pump shotguns.

as a pump shotgun it is 100% legal in NJ

Hyung, No NJ restrictions on pump shotguns. Only NJ shotgun restrictions are on semi-auto shotguns.

Yes it is. Please remember to vote pro-gun this November and maybe someday soon you won’t have to ask. Happy plinking and stay safe!!

Yes, NJ legal as it is pump action.

Yes due to it being a pump action there is no capacity restriction, you could even throw a pistol grip on it if you wanted too.

Hyung, yes Sir. Pump shotguns do not have the same restrictions as Semi-Auto shotguns : -- https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf

Can a red dot be put on this shotgun?

Bill, yes Sir. All 590A1 models come drilled and tapped from the factory making it easy to mount a Picatinny rail, scope base or other optic options.

yes the receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope

Does this shotgun as well as all 590A1 shotgun have the Logo 590-A1 in-printed on the left side of the receiver?

Robert, no Sir. It is located underneath at the front of the ejection port.

Is it legal to be shipped to CA?

Yes it is CA compliant https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf

Ethan, yes Sir. This Pump Shotgun is as legal as Sunny Skies in California. Pumps carry less feature restrictions over their Semi-Auto counterparts.

Ethan - yep, this one is CA compliant.

Is the trigger guard metal or Palomar

Justin, Great question. Went to Mossberg"s armorer school. They make/sell metal and plastic trigger guards on models 500, 590, and 590A1 even to the military. Have heard of some plastics ones breaking from really slammig, dropping, running over them. This specific UPC 015813516600 Mossberg model#51660 does come as described with a metal trigger guard

Justin, This 590A1 model# 51660 is to have a metal trigger guard

For any purchase, I strive to get the most bang for my buck, from a place/ person offering great service. I found both at Buds. I initially was driven to buy a Maverick 88. It would have more than met my needs. Yet after endless model reviews I kept talking myself into the next model up. I finally decided on the 590 A1. Buds had what I wanted at the best price. Even after FFL & background fees their price beat anything locally. Buds said it would ship in 7 days. Instead, it shipped in 24 hours and arrived in four days. Arrived well packaged, & in perfect condition. Should I have purchased the Maverick instead? Maybe. No buyers remorse here. Thus far I'm happy with the product & happy with doing business with Buds. Although, I should thank their #1 salesman Hickok 45. I look forward to doing business with Buds again.

The 590 A1 lives up to its reputation. A solid shotgun that feels good in your hands. It shoots well with some recoil. I have waited awhile to pull the trigger. Wish I would have it bought it years earlier. It has become my new home defense gun.

Excellent,heavy duty shotgun. Love the ambi safety,aluminum receiver and heavy duty barrel. Have put on a front night sight and AR style stock. Feed elevator makes loading a breeze.

I’ve been waiting for quite some time for this particular Mossberg Shotgun to be back in stock, and finally got one now. Had 150 rounds with Birds and some buck shots with no any problems.

Iconic weapon and you can put a bayonet. What more do you need?

This thing is built like a tank. I've had nothing but good luck and good performance with everything from weak target loads, to buckshot and slugs. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a great home protection shotgun.

I will be the first to admit I've been anti Mossberg since the early 80's for no particular reason. HOWEVER, thanks to Hickok 45 and Buds Gun Shop this new baby is now my new bedroom gun!!! This shotgun is a work horse. It's fun to shoot, smooth, reliable and built like a tank. We took it from the dealer straight to the farm out of the box and 3 cases later I decided it was my new night stand go to gun. Trust me, you can't go wrong with this shotgun!! Thanks much to Hickok 45 for the you tube videos and Buds for fast delivery, definitely a winning combination!!!

Great shotgun, strong, reliable, smooth, best home defense or truck gun you can spend your hard earned money on. Made in America and made to the tolerances of the hardworking red blooded Americans.
