That looks like a Mossy 590 - correct???

What is that muzzle break/impact weapon device he's got there?????

And is that OEM pump grip w/mini hand sling?


Thanks!

It looks like a stock (as in unmodified) mossberg 500 "tactical cruiser" to me.

One good shotty accessory is a handkerchief or do you really mean shotgun accessorys? :banghead:

The doohicky on the muzzle is a breaching attachment. It's designed to blow off hinges/locks/door hardware at contact distances. Hence the vents in the sides.

It's a breaching gun. All it needs is a bungee sling and a magazine full of Hattons or the like to be complete.

Given the barrel ring and magazine cap, it's a 590. The muzzle attachment is a standoff device for breaching. The 'teeth' are to allow it to hold in place when pressed against wood or painted metal surfaces and the vents are to dissipate gas pressure from firing the gun when in contact with a solid object.

The strap on the fore-end is a fairly common device on short barreled shotguns, it's a belt and suspenders approach to help keep the support hand from slipping off the forearm and out in front of the muzzle.

If you need a "Master Key" it's a good setup, it's less than optimal for most shotgun chores in that configuration however.
