Mossberg 500 Moss 56424 12 24 Fr Rs Syn

The Mossberg 500 is one of the most trusted pump-action shotguns in America, and the 56424 model brings slug-hunting capability to this legendary platform. This 12-gauge combines a 24-inch barrel with rifle sights and a synthetic stock, creating a compact, durable shotgun equally at home in the deer woods or as a reliable home-defense tool. Weighing just 7 lbs, it's light enough to carry all day without wearing you down, yet substantial enough to shoot confidently when it matters.

Built around Mossberg's proven receiver design, the 500 feeds from a 5+1 magazine tube, giving you reliable firepower for multiple shots if needed. The 3-inch chamber handles a full range of 12-gauge ammunition, letting you choose between slugs, buckshot, or lighter loads depending on the hunt or situation. The ambidextrous safety puts control within reach for both right- and left-handed shooters, and the adjustable rifle sights dial in precisely for slug accuracy at hunting distances.

The synthetic furniture isn't an afterthought—it's engineered for real use. It resists weather, won't swell or crack, and cleans up in seconds after a muddy day in the field. The 1-in-36 twist rate stabilizes slugs effectively, helping you deliver consistent accuracy when it counts. Whether you're a slug hunter, home defender, or someone who appreciates a workhorse shotgun that doesn't require constant babying, the Mossberg 500 56424 delivers the reliability Mossberg's name has meant for generations.
