What’s Included
- Mossberg 500A Persuader shotgun with Butler Creek side-folding wire-frame stock
- Mossberg 500/505/535/590/835 series owner’s manual

The Butler Creek folding stock pivots alongside the receiver, trimming overall length for storage or tight quarters while preserving a full 13.75" length of pull when deployed. Stainless steel construction and a rubber butt-pad add strength and shooting comfort.
Mossberg’s factory 20" cylinder-bore barrel is fitted with a perforated steel heat shield that protects the support hand during rapid fire. A single brass bead front sight offers an unobstructed, snag-free sighting plane.
An extended magazine tube holds seven 2 ¾" shells, giving the shooter an 8-shot total capacity (7+1). Twin action bars keep the pump stroke smooth and resistant to binding, while the ambidextrous tang safety is easy to reach from either shoulder.
The matte black anodized aluminum-alloy receiver keeps weight down without sacrificing durability, and the polymer ribbed fore-end provides a secure, weather-resistant grip. Like every 500-series gun, this Persuader shares the platform’s renowned modularity, making future barrel or furniture changes simple.
