What’s Included
- Mossberg Model 500 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The shotgun is configured with an 18.5-inch smoothbore barrel with a fixed cylinder bore and a perforated steel heat shield; there is no vent rib. The 3-inch chamber adds shotshell versatility, and the 5+1 capacity suits defensive or general-purpose roles. A brass bead front sight provides a simple, durable aiming reference.
Controls and layout are classic 500: pump-action operation, a tang-mounted ambidextrous safety, and a right-side ejection port. A knurled Mossberg 500-style takedown screw sits at the barrel and magazine interface for straightforward disassembly.
The receiver is aluminum alloy with an anodized finish, keeping weight down while maintaining durability. The furniture is black synthetic, including a fixed stock with a recoil pad and a 14.5-inch length of pull, and a ribbed "corncob"-style synthetic forend for a secure grip.
Markings are located on the barrel (Mossberg North Haven, CT USA and gauge/chamber details). The receiver itself is unmarked apart from the serial number. The gun presents as a bead-sight, no‑rib configuration fitted with a perforated heat shield, emphasizing simplicity and reliability in operation.
