Mossberb 590A1 with heavy barrel,metal trigger group and saftey

[jeep]

I understand the the U.S. armed forces has bought some 50,000 for all branch's since 1991. I have shot one and it was reliable and well made.I wonder if they will ever sell any surplus down the road. They are current issue even today.

I think you can purchase the exact same shotgun commercially.

I doubt you'll ever see any on the surplus market.They'll be chopped or go to PDs or other police agencies.Mossberg has several 590A1 Mil Spec models commercially available.

Ordered one the Talo Military issue model 590A1 for $529 new. Metal trigger group,saftey and heavy barrel. Same rioit gun as the 50,000 they bought. Takes the M9 or M7 bayonet too.

Mossberg sold some guns on the commercial market that were thought to be contract overruns. These had the heavy barrels and all metal trigger groups with sling swivels. They had a unique serial number prefix "USA" to distinguish them from the real military contract guns which had a "US" prefix. The same gun is now sold as a 590 A1 with a Mossberg item number 51411. The serial numbers on these guns do not have the "USA" prefix.
