Description
Mossberg took the 590, a pump gun with decades of duty use behind it, and rebuilt the controls around what people running AR platforms already know. The 590R swaps the traditional tang safety for an ambidextrous rotary selector sitting right where your thumb expects it, so nothing changes when you move between your rifle and your shotgun. Pair that with a Magpul MOE+ pistol grip, a flat profile trigger with a clean break, and a 5-position adjustable stock with interchangeable recoil pad, and you get a 12 gauge that fits a wide range of builds and armor setups without a trip to the parts bin.
What Sets the 590R Cerakote Apart
This version, model 50758, wears Flat Dark Earth Cerakote across the barrel, integrated heat shield, receiver, and magazine tube. That polymer-ceramic coating shrugs off abrasion and moisture far better than standard bluing, which matters if the gun rides in a truck, a patrol rack, or gets carried in bad weather. The 18.5 inch barrel is AccuChoke compatible and ships with a Cylinder tube installed, and the single-piece heat shield is built into the barrel rather than clamped on as an afterthought. Up top you get Magpul MBUS 3 folding sights on a Picatinny rail with a mini rail section for the front sight, and the receiver accepts optics without any drilling.
Running the Mossberg 590R Day to Day
Underneath the new furniture, it is still the 590 action people trust: twin action bars that will not bind, dual extractors, an anti-jam elevator, and positive steel-to-steel lockup. The 6+1 magazine tube has a clean-out cap for easy maintenance, and the enlarged, beveled loading port with an exposed follower makes topping off faster and easier on your thumb. With a 3 inch chamber and an overall length of 36.25 inches at just over 7 pounds, it stays maneuverable indoors while handling everything from light target loads to full-power buckshot. For home defense, duty use, or a serious working shotgun that matches your AR muscle memory, the 590R checks the boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the safety on the Mossberg 590R different from a standard 590?
Instead of the classic tang-mounted slide safety, the 590R uses an ambidextrous AR-style rotary safety selector on the receiver. It sits where your thumb naturally rests, so you can flip it without breaking your grip. If you shoot AR platforms regularly, the muscle memory carries straight over, which is the whole point of this design.
Can I mount a red dot on the 590R Cerakote?
Yes. This model comes with a top Picatinny rail set up for AR-style optics, plus a mini rail section for the front MBUS 3 sight. The Magpul MBUS 3 sights fold flat, so they work great as backups underneath a red dot or can serve as your primary sighting system on their own.
Does the 590R accept choke tubes?
This version, model 50758, has an AccuChoke compatible barrel and ships with a Cylinder choke tube installed. That means you can swap in other AccuChoke tubes to tighten patterns for different loads or distances, which adds a lot of flexibility compared to fixed cylinder bore tactical barrels.
Will the adjustable stock fit smaller-framed users?
It should. The 5-position adjustable stock covers a length of pull range from roughly 12 to 15.25 inches, and it includes an interchangeable recoil pad. That range accommodates everything from smaller-statured users to taller folks wearing body armor or heavy winter layers.
