Mossberg 590 Retrograde 12 Gauge 20in Pump Shotgun 8rd Worn Copper

Description

There's something about walnut and a heat shield together that just works. The Mossberg 590 Retrograde is a throwback to the company's first tactical pump guns, pairing a checkered walnut buttstock and corncob forend with a 20 inch barrel and 8-round capacity. This particular version takes it a step further with a custom Worn Copper finish, a distressed, battle-worn copper tone over the metalwork that gives it a character all its own. It's the kind of shotgun people stop and ask about at the range.

The Same 590 Action That Earned Its Reputation

Underneath the classic looks, this is every bit a working 590. You get twin action bars for smooth, bind-free cycling, dual extractors, positive steel-to-steel lockup, and the anti-jam elevator that keeps feeding consistent when you're running it hard. The tang-mounted safety sits right under your thumb and works the same whether you shoot right or left handed, which is one of those Mossberg touches you really appreciate once you've lived with it. The 3 inch chamber handles everything from light target loads to full-power buckshot and slugs, and the clean-out magazine tube cap makes maintenance simple.

Retrograde Style, Modern Practicality

The vented recoil pad takes some sting out of heavier loads, and the barrel-mounted heat shield isn't just for looks, it keeps your support hand off a hot barrel during longer strings. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so adding a rail and optic down the road is a quick job if bead sights aren't your thing.

Where the 590 Retrograde Worn Copper Fits

This one covers a lot of ground. It's a serious home defense shotgun with real capacity, a fun range gun that cycles anything you feed it, and a display-worthy piece thanks to that copper finish. Wood-stocked pump guns with this much personality don't come along often, and when they do, they tend not to sit around long.
