Mossberg Unveils Next-Level Pump-Action Shotguns: The 590R and 590RM with Rotary Safety Selector

Mossberg, a pioneer in pump-action shotgun manufacturing, has introduced a new breed of its acclaimed 590 series - the 590R and 590RM (Mag Fed) models. Renowned for its reliability, superior performance, and range of configurations, the Mossberg 590 series has set the standard for duty and home defense shotguns for years. The evolution of this supreme tactical platform now presents gun enthusiasts with groundbreaking features like a user-friendly redesigned forend, an integrated barrel/single heat shield, and most notably, an ambidextrous rotary safety selector. Available in four unique models, including two standard models and two mag-fed versions, the 590R keeps its predecessor's key features while being the first in the market to feature double-stack magazines for pump-action shotguns.

Core Features of the 590R and Improved Design for Ease of Maintenance

Boasting the universally revered features of the 590 platform, including non-binding twin action bars, positive steel-to-steel lock-up, and an anti-jam elevator, this next-generation version offers enhanced features for unprecedented user comfort and accessibility. A versatile clean-out magazine tube with a cap, designed for easy maintenance, added to the dual extractors, aluminum receiver, and drilled and tapped receivers, further elevates the 590R’s status as the ultimate shotgun choice.

Mossberg 590RM: The Evolution of the Mag Fed 590M and Key Features

Closely following the blueprint of the 2018-introduced 590M Mag Fed, the new 590RM shotgun stands out with its detachable magazine and integral stabilizing ribs. Designed to provide secure lock-up, the ribs directly engage with notches on the receiver, resulting in a sturdy connection. The 590RM, provided with a magazine release button and mounting guide located ahead of the trigger guard, is fully ambidextrous. The shotgun’s detachable magazines are available in 5, 10, 15, and 20-round capacities, offering options for varying individual needs.

590R and 590RM Pump-Action Shotguns: Overview of Key Features

The laundry list of features for the 590R and 590RM models includes an ambidextrous, rotary safety selector and a Mossberg-designed stock adjustable to five positions (12 – 15.25 inches). Stock/Base compatibility with other grip designs, a compact ergonomic forend, a 5-inch barrel with a removable heat shield, an enlarged beveled loading port, and an elongated bolt release all contribute to a smooth and personalized shooting experience.

Furthermore, the newly introduced models come furnished with a Magpul MOE+ pistol grip, a front M-LOK adapter with dual-sided accessory mounting slots, a flat profile trigger with a smooth, crisp break, and an extended follower for ease of loading (590R only). The icing on the cake is the electroplated internal and external receiver, offering unmatched durability with a smoother finish.

The Superior Shotgun Series: Model Details and Pricing

The 590R (50762 and 50761) each carry a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $1,085. The 12-gauge, 3-inch standard versions come standard with an 18.5-inch barrel, a compact forend, an adjustable 5-position stock, a MOE pistol grip, and a Picatinny rail.

The 590RM (50213 and 50218) versions, each priced at $1,190, offer a 2.75-inch 12-gauge, magazine-fed pump action. Each model is equipped with an 18.5-inch barrel with an integrated heat shield, a compact forend, a 5-position adjustable stock, and a 10-round magazine.
