Mossberg 500 Cruiser Persuader Pistol Grip and Stock Combo 12 Gauge Matte Blue Shotgun

A: Harry, this is either or. They both use the same single point attachment bracket.

A: They are 2 different stocks so its one or the other now there are pistol grip stocks available that you can get which would be like combining the two

A: The 590 is basically a beefed up modified 500. That said the 500 has been made for 40 years with no problems I would get the 500 you have pictured and never have a 2nd thought

A: The 590 and A1 are parkerized versions and have slightly heavier barrels(Militarized comes to mind). It is not a huge difference, but the 590's are more sturdier built. The Mossberg 500 will serve you well with no issues. I happen to have both.

A: 590 is a 500 on Steroids. Both are great shotguns though. 500 is a little lighter

A: Andrew, the process involved is explained in this thread (essentially the front sight would have to be silver soldered on) :https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/installing-mossberg-ghost-ring-sights.103064/

A: This is a shotgun, whether or not you need a permit to purchase it depends on the legal situation in your state. In most states nothing is needed for this or other long guns.

A: Jaharris, no, as this shotgun has a greater than 18 inch barrel it is considered a standard Shotgun and no permit is needed.

A: no NFA paperwork needed as it is a shotgun with a longer than 18 inch barrel
