Mossberg 590 Shockwave 12 Gauge 18.5 Inch Shotgun

Description

Built around a pump-action design, the Mossberg 590 Shockwave is a 12 gauge firearm with an 18.5 inch heavy-walled barrel. We see this configuration as a fit for buyers who want a compact shotgun platform with a bead front sight, cylinder bore, and a simple manual of operation. Its black synthetic Raptor grip and corn cob forend with strap define the handling setup.
