Mossberg 50798 590A1 NFA Pro 12 Gauge 5+1 14" Tungsten Gray Cerakote Barrel & Steel Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Fixed Black Synthetic Stock
The Mossberg 590A1 NFA Pro is a purpose-built 12-gauge pump-action shotgun engineered for serious defensive use. This short-barrel shotgun (14" barrel) meets NFA Class III regulations and combines proven platform reliability with modern tactical features. The heavy-walled barrel, steel-to-steel lockup, and dual extractors deliver the kind of mechanical integrity you need when it matters. Finished in Tungsten Gray Cerakote for durability and a professional appearance, the 590A1 Pro handles demanding environments without compromise.
What sets this Mossberg apart is its thoughtful optic-ready design. The drilled and tapped steel receiver accepts RMSc-footprint micro dots directly (sight plate removed), letting you run a modern red dot without hunting for adapters. The factory Ghost Ring rear sight pairs with a front fiber optic element, both protected by low-profile wings—you get a fighting sight picture out of the box, with the flexibility to mount glass if that's your preference. The adjustable synthetic stock spans 12–13 inches of length of pull, so it fits different shooters and gear layups.
This is a serious tool: ambidextrous safety for either-handed operation, twin action bars for smooth cycling, anti-jam elevator for reliable feeding, and a clean-out magazine tube for maintenance. At 6.25 pounds and 32 inches overall, it's compact enough to handle in tight spaces but substantial enough to shoot smoothly. The 5+1 magazine capacity gives you six rounds ready to go. Whether you're building a home-defense rig, running a professional security role, or running drills at the range, the 590A1 Pro delivers no-nonsense performance.
