WHAT’S INCLUDED
- Mossberg Model 500A Persuader 12 Gauge shotgun
The Persuader configuration features a 20-inch steel barrel with a fixed cylinder bore, ideal for wide patterning at close range. Its brass bead front sight provides a quick, unobstructed aiming point, while the absence of a rear sight keeps the sight picture clean and fast.
An extended magazine tube delivers a 7+1 total capacity with 2 3/4-inch shells, giving the user ample rounds before needing to reload. The single magazine-cap bolt allows rapid barrel swaps, a hallmark of the 500 platform.
The lightweight aluminum receiver is finished in durable matte anodizing to match the barrel’s matte blued exterior. Combined with the synthetic Monte Carlo stock and ribbed forend, the gun is built to withstand hard use and varying weather conditions.
Mossberg’s tang-mounted safety is fully ambidextrous and instantly accessible from any shooting position. The hammerless, dual action-bar design promotes smooth cycling and long-term reliability—attributes proven across more than 11 million 500-series shotguns produced.
