Model Identification Help: Which Mossberg 500 Do I Have?

A Mossberg 500 Challenge

A guy on another forum that I frequent posted the photos below and asked the members to identify the Mossy 500 in the photos. He purchased it but doesn't know what model of 500 it is. I have my suspicions. What's your guess?

It resembles the 6 shot Persuader, though with some other stuff like the new railed forend and ATI Scorpion adjustable stock.

Or this, only this one lacks the stand off breacher...

Or the new BlackWater, only the BlackWater doesnt have the adjustable stock. Or I guess its the "Thunder Ranch" now.

Did he buy it new? Mossy will sometimes have weird stuff on the shelves that arent listed on the site, but if he got it new, there should be a part # on the box... I'm bettin he bought it from someone after a couple upgrades were made. It could easily be the Tac Persuader 6 shot that someone put the new forend and Scorpion stock became available.

So final answer, my guess is the 50145. The first one pictured. Though it could have started life as the Pistol Grip model I suppose...
 
Re: A Mossberg 500 Challenge

I figured it was a 54125 that the gun shop put a different stock on to make it more appealing...
 
Re: A Mossberg 500 Challenge

He bought it new from Academy. The model number on the box was 55200. That model number doesn't cross-reference with anything listed in the standard Mossberg catalog.
 
Re: A Mossberg 500 Challenge

Ahhhh! So it is one of thos weird models Mossberg just doesnt have listed on their site!

Messes me up when I see a model, even at WalMart, come home to look it up and it isnt there on the site!
 
Re: A Mossberg 500 Challenge

google Mossberg 55200 turns up mud's post on XD talk on this...

Ok, so we now know its someone at mossberg that is making our life difficult...
We need to get Mossberg customer service on here more often.

Its things like THIS that mossberg needs to put in their catalog, not that chainsaw joke...
 
Re: A Mossberg 500 Challenge

Mossberg has a whole new set of part numbers for new models in different configurations. Most of the ones listed on the site are no longer available since they came with the old style ATI stocks. The new style stocks come with new model model numbers. This one appears to be the Mossberg 500 cruiser with the ATI tactical talon stock. The cruiser also comes in two variations; one having the 500 lug/magazine while the other has the 590 lug/magazine.

Re: A Mossberg 500 Challenge

Mossberg apparently also produces distributor exclusives in limited quantities, like my 590 Cruiser with the American Flag laser etched onto the receiver...
 
Re: A Mossberg 500 Challenge

So it sounds like even Mossberg doesn't know what they produce.
I bet their part numbers are sequential to when they decide to put some combination together tooo.

Yeah, I was thinking this might be an Academy exclusive.

Is there a difference

Is there a list somewhere that goes into detail the differences between the 500-A and other 500's?
