Yes. You are correct. The 590A1 is the milspec model with the metal trigger guard and safety. Haven't priced one in a while, but $400 seems a tad bit high--maybe not. I'm really not sure. But that is the right model. Hope this helps.

$400 is a little high....but not if it`s the ghost rings....if you need them....but for 20$ or so and it`s there, go for it!...[shotgun]

Well... seems like a perfect time to show mine off! :D

Holds 8 in the tube + 1 if I remember correctly. I paid a little over $400 for mine (in CA EVERYTHING is more expensive). |

590A1 model # 51663,..yup.
i paid $420 for mine. it has the ghost ring sights, but not speed stock. metal tigger guard, 20 inch heavy barrel, 9-shot, and accessory lug (yeah right, it's the bayo lug). so, it's about the right price, considering i live in Kali. |

Dealer cost on your gun is $329.99, so I would say $400 is not too bad, especially when the cost must have shipping added. I have one w/o the ghost ring sights and love it but am going to replace it with one like you want. Dealers have a hard time making anything on new guns with all us cheap bastards. LOL Good luck, you will love it.

My local dealer is asking $390 and they don't have ghost ring sights. I thought that was a bit much, guess not.

I got mine on sale last X-Mas for $375. Yes you can shoot slugs out of em. Pretty damn accurate to 50yds. We were shooting a silhouette and were putting them all in the torso area. Oh I forgot, one of the AK-47.net members, resitor, shot a set of eyes on our target. Wether he meant to or not, it was impressive and funny as hell when you see the sunlight shine throught the holes.
here's mine. [img]http://wsphotofews.excite.com/001/kR/5Q/Sm/NC12560.jpg[/img] |

Hey Frank:
What kinda bayo do you have on that Mossy? I have a 590 with the lug, and I bought a Colt marked bayo from cdnn, but the damn thing doesn't fit for some reason. It seems that it is going on there crooked or something. To check the lug, I bought a surplus USGI bayo (both are M7s) and it fits just fine. Any thoughts/comments/advice? Also, I have the model that has the bead sight, and the heat shield. Anyone know of a way for me to get ghostrings on this? I think I'd prefer ghost rings to the heat shield (unless I could get both of them on at the same time) -Gloftoe (edited because I thought of something else to ask) |

c-rock, that shotgun retails for $573 so I'd say you did good. I recently bought a M590A1, paid $399 for it (stock #51663). The best price I'd seen online is $415 and I considered having my friendly neighborhood kitchen table gun dealer order one for me but a local gun store beat that price and I saved shipping costs and dealer transfer fee, still had to pay tax and DROS though.
Only problem is his distributor sent the wrong gun (the 590 [b]NOT A1[/b] version, stock #5[b]0[/b]663), and now I have to wait a couple of weeks before I can pick it up. FYI, stock #51668 is the same as #51663 except is has a speedfeed stock. Stock #51660 has the bead sight and retails for about $100 less than the one with the ghost ring sight. SILVER SURFER, sorry dude, can't put a bayonet on a Mossy with a 18.5" barrel... well, you can attach it with duct tape but the bayo lug only comes on the 20" barrels. [:)] Gloftoe, your receiver should already be drilled and tapped for the rear ghost ring sight. Installing the front sight might get to be expensive though. To do it right it has to be soldered on and the barrel reparkerized. You may want to consider a MMC front sight. They make a clamp-on band front sight that installs without gunsmithing. |

Gloftoe,
I got it direct from Bushmaster: [url]http://www.bushmaster.com/shopping/accessories/gc-bayoscabkit.htm[/url] $30 is high... but it was brand new, not "slightly used". Plus I knew it would work and if not I could send it back. I hate that scabard crap, first time you put the bayo in it scratches the hell out of it and looks like crap. Wish I knew that before.. I woulda never used it. Ah well.. |

A real cheap bastard. Except for women, guns, and cars. come to think of it, that is why I am so cheap on everything else. |

Wether he meant to or not, it was impressive and funny as hell when you see the sunlight shine throught the holes. FOR CLARIFICATION: Sluggo had PLACED that silhouette at 75 or 100yds LT, I cant remember which, and yes, I was aiming at the head, and yes, it was 2 eyes AND two ears, and yes, it was with my 590A1 20" with a bead sight. Ghost ring sights??? Who needs em' with rifled slugs? Are they accurate? You decide...I'm keeping mine. |

Well,
I talked to my dealer this morning, and he is ordering it as we speak. I should get it sometime next week, and for sure it will be at the next pit meet. If you want to try it, just ask. I do need go break it in. I also am picking up a used S & W, 38 special from him too. 4 inch heavy barrel, blued, full frame also. New york cop turn in. Thing is nice. Heavy, the kinda of pistol cops back in the day used to beat the shit out of people in the back of a alley. Maybe a couple of whores too. Felt nice in the hand. Well, I just have to go to the bank, and cough up $600 today. c-rock |

Quoted: j3, Yep. It only holds 8 rounds in magazine tube and one in chamber. It's normal to call it 9 rounders. For example, we can't call AR15 31 rounders because it has detachable magazines. It can be called 101 rounders, 41 rounders, 21 rounders, rounders and so on. So, it's customary to call any rifles with fixed magazine system as (insert #) rounders that also includes one in chambers. -[blue]ChaZ[/blue] P.S.- I love Mossy 590A1, do you know that you can put the swivel stud in the back of bayo lug so your sling won't interfere with bayo installment. I just saw that on someone's picture and lo, there was a hole in back of lug. I've already installed the swivel stud there and will order sling and bayo when I get more cash... Ah, I see you have DWGS Syndrome!!! Bradd (remember me?) P.S.- Dimwits Without Grammar Skills. By the way, I figured out where the swivel stud went about thirty seconds after I took my shotgun out of the box, but then again it's not in the owner's manual so that explains why you didn't know. Have a nice day! |
