Is this shotgun drilled and tapped?

Hi Anthony and welcome. Yes, the Mossberg 590 Retrograde Persuader is drilled and tapped for mounting optics and accessories. The receiver is designed to allow for the attachment of accessories like scope mounts, rails, or other attachments using standard mounting hardware. Cheers and stay safe!

Yes, it’s drilled and tapped.

Good evening to you!! The Mossberg 590 Retrograde Persuader is drilled and tapped for optic mounting rails or any other device which uses Weaver or picatinny rails. Have a good rest of your day.

The same picture is used for the 590A1 and the 590 Retrograde Persuader so whats the difference? Do they both have wood stocks, bayonet lugs, and metal heat shields? 3 inch chambers?

Hi Donald, the 590 A1 has a heavy-walled barrel and ghost ring sights. The 590 Retro has standard barrel and bead sights. Stay safe & have a great day!

The difference with the 590A1 is the heavy Barrel & the Ghost Ring sights.

persuader has standard weight barrel and a bead sight the 59A1 has a heavy wall barrel and ghost sights

Hi Donald and welcome. The 590 A1 Retro has Ghost Ring Sights and a Heavy Barrel. This Retro has the standard Barrel and no Ghost Ring Sights : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/109204/mossberg+%26+sons+590a1+retro+12+ga+9rd+20

Will this model shoot and cycle mini shells?

Shoot, yes - cycle, no unless you use an adapter like this one: 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

Is this shotgun legal for purchase in New York?

Hi Joseph, yes sir this is NY legal. Pump action shotguns do not have the same restrictions as semi-autos do. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf Stay safe & have a great day!

yes it is legal as a pump with under a 10 round capacity https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf%3Cbr

Hi Joseph and welcome. Yes, as Pump Action Shotguns are not restricted as their Semi-Auto brethren. Cheers and enjoy!

Can ghost ring sights be added to this aftermarket?

Hi Ryan and welcome. Yes, but gunsmithing is required for the front Sight. Best to try and find Ghost Ring Sights already installed.

Ryan, model 51665 comes with ghost ring sights, but out of stock everywhere. I would try to find a local FFL who is a Mossberg dealer and ask about ordering one. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/109204/mossberg+%26+sons+590a1+retro+12+ga+9rd+20 , Good luck, stay safe, & have a great day!

Is this shotgun legal for sale in Illinois. There is a sentence in the law that states "ANY shotgun with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds"

Steve, this is not legal in Illinois because of the 8+1 magazine capacity. No shotgun can have over a 5 round capacity weather it's semi automatic, pump, has a fixed magazine tube or detachable magazine. Sorry but hope this helps. If interested here's a link to Illinois's restrictions....................... https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/illinois_restrictions.pdf

Hi Steve and welcome to the Community. Unfortunately no due to the extended tube magazine capable of holding more than 5 rounds. Details under Shotguns here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/illinois_restrictions.pdf - Cheers and stay safe!

Steve, this is no longer legal in Illinois. Prohibited - "a fixed magazine with the capacity of more than 5 rounds" The only way it would be legal would be to have the magazine permanently altered to hold only 5 round and Bud's will not ship unless it is compliant as is.

Does this model have a metel triger guard.

No it has a polymer trigger guard, not metal. Sorry but hope this helps.

Rick, from what I am reading, the 590 Retrograde does not have the metal trigger guard. The 590A1 Retrograde does have it. Have a great day!

Rick, no Sir it does not have the metal trigger guard. Just the 590A1. Also the length of pull is reduced to 13.87 inches over the standard models for quicker handling. Cheers and stay safe!

Beautiful piece. First shotgun purchase and not my last. Very reliable and the 8+1 is great for target shooting and hunting if need be.

Really nice looking shotgun with M7 bayonet mounted on the wall it looks very intimidating .... Took it to the range it did ok, it hung up on me a couple times, maybe it was the ammo, I will try it again. The wood furniture looks great, happy to add this to the collection.

Great retro pump shotgun. I shoot historical 3 gun, and we are required to use a pump shotgun with wood furniture. Love the trench gun look that the Mossberg 590 has. It is not quite as slick as my Winchester Model 12 or the Ithaca 37, but is also not as temperamental.

Excellent looking gun. No issues with the entire purchase process. Recoil is a bit more noticeable when compared to a SA, but that is to be expected. Action a bit stiff, but that is common with Mossberg firearms. It should loosen up with use.

Just what I was looking for. A classic looking shotgun. Feels sturdy. Shipped fast, good experience. Five stars
