I'm retire US Army. I work as a Department of Defense as a contractor. I run to this site by accident couple weeks ago. I was looking for information on mossberg 590A1 and after reading here how pleased is everyone with their 590A1 I went and picked one my self. It is my 3rd mossberg. I own a 500, 835 and my new 590A1. I just got done installing a Limbsaver recoil pad and a Specter CQB sling. Can't wait to shoot it but range is closed till Feb because hunting season. This gun will be mainly for HD maybe some 3 gun competition.
