Brownells Shotgun Follower For Mossberg 500, 12 Gauge, Aluminum, Green

A Mossberg 500 shotgun follower is a small but critical component that lives inside your magazine tube, and the Brownells version for 12-gauge models does one job well: it sits atop your rounds and pushes them up into the action as you cycle through them. Made from aluminum in a practical green finish, this follower is a straightforward replacement part for shooters who need a spare or are rebuilding a tube after wear or damage. Whether you're running a defensive shotgun, hunting over fields, or keeping a patrol gun running, a clean, functional follower keeps your gun reliable when it matters.

Mossberg 500 owners know their shotguns are field-proven workhorses, and tube-fed pumps see real use—and real wear. The follower takes the friction of thousands of rounds cycling through. A worn or bent follower can cause feeding jams, short-stroking, or sluggish cycling. This Brownells aluminum piece is built to the original spec and fits the Mossberg 500 platform without modification. The green anodize isn't just for looks; it resists corrosion and keeps the part running smooth in wet conditions.

Stock up on these small parts now—they're easy to forget until you need one, and having spares on hand means you're not breaking down your shotgun or hunting trip to source a replacement. A simple upgrade for any Mossberg 500 operator who prefers reliability over luck.
