Mossberg 590 Mariner Pump Action 12 Gauge Marinecote Shotgun

A: Hi Kevin, this appears to be plastic according to this review: Please skip to 7mins 5secs : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUtjr7m1wNI

A: Polymer trigger guard

A: I think it looks better. The Marine finish is corrosion resistant, so if you live in an area with high humidity it should hold up quite well. Parkerizing can wear off, but still pretty tough.

A: it is slightly tougher than Parkerizing but I don't like the silver look

A: Not better Carlos, just more effective in a specific environment, namely salt. They are equally tough for the respective environments in which they were designed to live.

A: Douglas, the length with the Pistol Grip is 28.75" and 41" with the Shoulder Stock.

A: yes it is legal in MD "The following are prohibited: Shotguns with a capacity over 10 rounds. Semi-automatic shotgun that has a folding stock (Not including telescoping [collapsible] stock) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder. " see shotguns https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/maryland_restrictions.pdf

A: Brian, Yes Sir. Pump Shotguns do not carry the same restrictions in MD as their Semi-Auto counterparts. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/maryland_restrictions.pdf

A: Hi Suszanne and welcome. This is normal. When racking, there is a slide release button to push on the left side of the trigger guard to release the slide when not loaded. You should also lube the slide rails with a gun lubricant to smooth the pump action. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Suzanne, Mossberg's are not known for their smooth operating pump actions. Lube & oil according to the instruction manual and it should get easier over time. The safety switch is normal, you need to apply some pressure to operate. All of my Mossbergs are the same way. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Hi Ddarryckgmail.com and welcome. Yes, but you will need the OpSol Mini-Shell Adapter for 100% proper function: 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!
