Maverick SA All-Purpose
For years, Mossberg has partnered with a Turkish manufacturer to build its double-barrel shotguns. This time, they went with the same partner to build a semi-auto that they could offer at an affordable price point. It’s a gas-operated action, looking a lot like an old 1100-pattern design when you take the forend off.
Barrel length is 12 inches, with magazine capacity of five, plus one in the chamber. The stock has multiple spacers so you can dial in your length-of-pull. A fiber-optic bead comes standard, and there’s a quick-empty bolt release button so you can unload the tube mag quickly. The shotgun ships with five interchangeable chokes.
This Maverick-branded shotgun will come with walnut stocks and polished-bluing barrel for a $693 MSRP this season; a black polymer stock (and a matte-finished barrel) knocks $70 off that price. See more details here.
Mossberg 940 Pro Waterfowl Realtree Legacy Camo
A familiar face returns—but can you even see that familiar face, with its new camo finish? This year, the Mossberg 940 Pro Waterfowl is available in Realtree Legacy camouflage. Depending where you hunt, that might be the finish you want to blend in better to your surroundings.
Aside from that upgrade, the rest of this shotgun is what you’d expect; it’s a 12 gauge, with receiver cut for RMSc-pattern optics base (others can fit with adapters, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for other bases).
Bore and chamber are chrome-lined to resist corrosion; the stock is adjustable for length-of-pull as well as drop at the comb and heel. The loading port is enlarged and beveled so you can quickly jam rounds in there when the birds are coming in hot and heavy. The magazine tube comes with a quick-unload function as well.
MSRP for the Realtree Legacy model is $1,141; see more details here.
Mossberg 590R/RM Chisel
These shotguns were announced last week, combining the tried-and-true 590 platform (with either tang or rotary safety) with folding stock mounts from Chisel Machining. This means you have a lot of firepower in a very compact package.
We already told you about these shotguns here, but the basic points you need to know are: The stock was designed by Mossberg, with eight points of adjustment (from 12.5-inch length-of-pull to 16 16 inches). There are two-sided QD attachment points, with the front QD hole on the mag cap. Magpul provided an MOE+ pistol grip for better control.
MSRP for the 590R Chisel is $1,330 (see more info here). The 590RM Chisel is a Class 3 firearm in the US, with MSRP of $1,435 (more details here).
Mossberg 990 Aftershock SPX
The Mossberg 990 Aftershock gets updated with features from their SPX lineup—starting with that heat-resistant handguard with integrated M-LOK slots. Controls have improved ergonomics for shooting under stress, including a knurled charging handle, oversized paddle-style bolt release and tang-mounted safety that works for left-handed or right-handed shooters. The loading port is beveled and enlarged for quick reloads.
The receiver is optics-ready, same as the 940 Pro Tactical SPX, which makes sense; this gun shares its basic design with the 940 Pro, although the gas system has been reworked to work better for firing from the hip.
You can get this shotgun in basic black, or Cerakote finish; available barrel lengths are 14.75 inches or 18.5 inches, with Accu-Choke compatibility. Pricing is $1,204 for all versions, currently; see more details here.
Mossberg 990 Aftershock SPX Magpul
As the name implies, this is an Aftershot SPX with the addition of a full-length Magpul SGA stock with adjustable spacers instead of Mossberg’s birdshead grip. Since it’s made to be fired from the shoulder, not the hip, you also get ghost ring sights.
It’s a Class 3 firearm when you buy it with the 14.75-inch barrel, which also restricts you to 5+1 magazine capacity. Get the 18.5-inch barrel and you’ve got a longer, bulkier firearm, but no Class 3 hassles and 7+1 magazine capacity. Pricing is $1,309 whichever you buy. See more info here.
