    Mossberg 590 / 590A1

    Legal in CA?

    Short post. I eschew obfuscation.

    Yes they are quite legal. The only limitations on pump shotguns relate to overall length and barrel length.

      The one sitting in my gun safe right now would be very surprised to hear if it shouldn't be there.

        No, but folks frequently get the idea that a bayonet lug (which the M590 has) is a banned characteristic on long guns...

          They don't necessarily have a bayonet lug. The ones we had in the Navy didn't. Honestly, I'd rather not have it one there. It's just one more thing to get caught up on stuff.

            I have not seen one in the local gun shops, and given CA's whacky politicians, I did'nt know if the bayo lug / heat shield was the problem.

            Glad to hear it's not. Sweet.

              not using $5 words like those, you don't.

              yes they are legal and the 590A1 is one I wish I had.

                well, it was benned federally, so I can see why they are confused. as far as I am concerned, it was an oversight on CA's part not banning them, but I'm glad for it.

                  Are you sure they weren't doing us a favor?

                    My 590's got a bayo lug and a heat shield. Got it from Turners

                            Im not sure if you can just buy the sights. There are models that come with them (ghost ring) and models that dont (bead sights i believe).

                              Yeah, i really want the ghost ring sights, but i am not sure if there is a way to put them on after market.
