Mossberg Expands 590R Shotgun Lineup with New Cerakote Finish Options

Enhanced Color Selection for Popular Tactical Shotgun Series

Mossberg has expanded the color options for their innovative 12-gauge 590R shotgun series, introducing two new Cerakote finishes to complement the existing lineup. The rotary-safety equipped shotguns can now be purchased in Olive Drab (OD) green and Flat Dark Earth (FDE) colorations, broadening the aesthetic choices for tactical shotgun enthusiasts.

Recent Market Introduction and Key Features

The tube-fed 590R and its magazine-fed counterpart, the 590RM, made their debut in the firearms marketplace in January, bringing a fresh approach to shotgun safety mechanisms. These models feature an ergonomically enhanced, ambidextrous lever safety system that represents a departure from traditional shotgun controls.

The feeding capabilities differ between the two primary models:

• 590R: Operates with a six-round tubular magazine system
