The Mossberg 590 Mariner delivers uncompromising reliability in marine environments where corrosion destroys standard shotguns. This 12-gauge pump-action features Marinecote finish protection and versatile configuration options for tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
The proprietary Marinecote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued or parkerized shotguns. This electroless nickel coating withstands saltwater exposure, humidity, and harsh weather conditions that would pit and rust conventional finishes. The cylinder bore barrel accepts rifled slugs and buckshot equally well, while the included pistol grip conversion kit allows rapid field reconfiguration from standard stock to compact tactical setup.
Key Features
- Marinecote finish resists corrosion in saltwater and humid environments
- 8+1 capacity with 3-inch chamber handles magnum loads
- 20-inch cylinder bore barrel optimized for defensive ammunition
- Dual extractors and positive steel-to-steel lockup ensure reliable cycling
- Synthetic stock and forend resist warping and cracking
- Included pistol grip conversion kit for tactical configuration
- Ambidextrous top-mounted safety accessible to all shooters
Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling with various load types from light target loads to 3-inch magnums. The cylinder bore choke pattern spreads buckshot effectively at defensive ranges while maintaining sufficient accuracy for slug work to 75 yards. Law enforcement agencies specify this model for marine patrol units and coastal operations where equipment faces constant salt air exposure.
