$699 + Shipping + DROS

So not exactly "cheap", but I figure the M9 bayonet is at least $100 retail alone. Plus it is almost $800 retail, if you can find it or special order it. I'm pleased with what I payed for it, especially since it was factory new.

[savasyn]

Me likey.
Not too different from the normal 590A1, but different enough to add an extra cool factor.

[waitwha?]

does that little nub with the hole in it come off? I just ordered the same shotgun last week and wanted to put a surefire fore end on it but it says the light might hit. Do you have any input on that?

That little 'nub' is called the bayonet (or accessory) lug. It comes right off with a grinder.

what's wrong with the front sight? is it glued on or something, what's that white stuff?

[den888]

That is one nice and intimidating shotgun !

Probably silver soldering.

The U.S Military :D , Since the 590A1 series are build to military spec and for military & LEO , thus the heavy barrel, bayo lug, and I belive the receiver is made of diffrent material and other changes.

The trigger guard on all 590A1s are made of steel, not plastic like the Mossberg 500 series.

And you wouldn't believe how heavy it is loaded w/ 9+1 00 Buckshot. :chris:

It's so heavy, you practically need a bipod for prone shooting.:D
It's so heavy, if I was on a boat, I could use it for a anchor.:D
It's so heavy, I'm thinking of selling it, and getting a Remington 870 Police Magnum:(

Beautiful

I load mine with 3 inch #4 buck and it weighs a ton, the recoil is amazing with my Spec Op's replacement stock though!

He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

[ALCO HK]

Nice and tasteful

[jonni]

do they sell the spx ghost ring sites + rail separately?

[Black Majik]

I must say, I've never wanted a Mossberg like I do now.

That is just plain awesome, congrats on the shotgun :thumbsup:

Don't go thinking the 870 Police is any lighter. I have one and fully loaded it weighs a ton.

Most modern 500/590's receivers are setup for a rail. They cost about $25-40. I know XS Sight Systems sells add-on ghost rings for Rem 870/Moss 500s, but they cost around $100-150 and require a gunsmith to install them.

Boy...imagine if it got to the point where you had to stab someone with your shotgun!

[jmf_tracy]

don't do it! been there, done that and returned the surefire. yes you will have to grind off the bayonet lug:( i miss my lug although i would not use a bayonet on my shotgun. i took a 4 day shotgun class at front sight and had to remove the surefire fore end and replace the stock fore end. after shooting a bunch with the surefire, it really hurt my thumb that was riding against the square button on the sure fire unit. take my advice and forget that surefire fore end, unless you just want to be tacticool.

but can you buy the actual spx ghost ring sights separately and mount the rear sight to the rail?

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood your question. The SPX sights are manufactured by LPA in Italy. They are the OEM manufacturer for Benelli & Beretta shotgun sights.

First you need to purchase the rear sight (Part# BAR11W) $132.60 Here (http://www.precisionsights.com/Product/BAR_product_page.html)

Then you have to purchase the front sight (Part# SG4) $71.70 Here (http://www.precisionsights.com/Product/SG_product_page.html)

http://www.lpasights.com/immagini/sg4m1b.jpg

You have the choice of a plain front post, tritium, or fiber optic. Mine has the fiber optic post (Part# M1F) like in the picture.

The rear sight looks like you can just attach it to the receiver yourself with the included screws. The front sight has to be welded in place. That is gonna run you over $200 + labor for the gunsmith.

Sweet gun!
