Description
Pump shotguns have fed from tube magazines for over a century, and the Mossberg 590RM is one of the few that breaks that mold in a way that makes sense. Built on the battle-proven 590 action, this 12 gauge runs off detachable double-stack magazines, the first of their kind in a production pump gun. That means a full reload is a mag swap instead of thumbing shells one at a time, and you can stage magazines loaded with buckshot, slugs, or birdshot and switch between them in seconds. The included 10-round magazine locks up tight thanks to stabilizing ribs that engage notches machined into the receiver, and the lever-style release sits in front of the trigger guard where either hand can reach it.
What Sets the 590RM Apart from Older Mag-Fed Mossbergs
The R in the name stands for the new ambidextrous rotary safety selector, an AR-style lever you can flick off without breaking your firing grip. If you learned to run a safety on a carbine, this will feel like home. Mossberg paired it with a flat-profile trigger that breaks clean, a redesigned compact forend that is user-serviceable, and a one-piece heat shield integrated with the 18.5-inch barrel. The five-position adjustable stock with Magpul MOE pistol grip lets you dial length of pull for armor, winter layers, or smaller-framed folks in the household, and it carries QD sling mounting ports too.
Sights, Rails, and Setup on the Mossberg 590RM
This SKU (50213) ships with Magpul MBUS 3 folding sights riding a full-length top Picatinny rail, so you can drop a red dot on and keep the irons folded as backups. A front M-LOK adapter gives you slots on both sides for a light or sling hardware. The barrel is threaded for Accu-Chokes and comes with a cylinder tube installed, which is a nice touch you rarely see on tactical pumps.
Underneath the new features, it is still a 590 where it counts: twin action bars, dual extractors, steel-to-steel lockup, and an anti-jam elevator. The 2.75-inch chamber handles the full range of standard 12 gauge loads, and with 10+1 on tap this is a serious amount of firepower in a 39.5-inch package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Mossberg 590RM work with other magazine sizes?
Yes. The 590RM feeds from the same double-stack magazines as Mossberg's 590M line, and accessory mags are offered in 5, 10, 15, and 20-round capacities. The gun ships with one 10-round magazine, which is a good balance of capacity and bulk for most uses.
Can the 590RM shoot 3-inch magnum shells?
No, this model has a 2.75-inch chamber, so stick to standard-length 12 gauge shells. In practice that covers the vast majority of defensive buckshot, slugs, and practice loads, and 2.75-inch shells keep recoil more manageable in a defensive gun anyway.
How is the rotary safety different from a regular Mossberg 590?
Traditional 590s use a tang-mounted slide safety on top of the receiver. The 590RM replaces that with an ambidextrous AR-style rotary selector you can sweep with your thumb without shifting your firing grip. If you already run an AR-pattern rifle, the manual of arms will feel immediately familiar.
Can I mount a red dot on the Mossberg 590RM?
Absolutely. The full-length top Picatinny rail is set up for optics, and the included Magpul MBUS 3 sights fold flat so they stay out of your sight picture. There is also a front M-LOK adapter with slots on both sides for adding a weapon light or sling attachment.
