The Mossberg 590R combines the proven 590 platform with magazine-fed versatility for rapid reloads and enhanced tactical capability. This 12-gauge shotgun accepts detachable box magazines while maintaining the reliability that has made Mossberg shotguns a standard in law enforcement and military applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional tube-fed shotguns, the 590R features a detachable magazine system that allows for faster reloads and the ability to quickly switch between different shell types. The receiver incorporates a magazine well that accepts 5, 10, and 20-round detachable magazines, providing tactical flexibility without compromising the robust construction of the 590 series. This design eliminates the time-consuming process of loading individual shells through the loading port.
