An adaptable stock system and a short barrel make this Mossberg a practical household shotgun. It is a 12 gauge pump with an 18.5" barrel, a five-round capacity, and an olive drab green finish.

The Flex name refers to Mossberg's system of interchangeable stocks and fore-ends. If you have a smaller person in the house, you can adjust the gun to fit instead of buying a second shotgun. That is a smart design for families who share one gun for home defense or for the range. Pattern your chosen load on a large sheet of paper at the distance you expect to shoot, because every shotgun prints a little differently.

The 18.5" barrel handles easily in tight quarters and fits in a vehicle. A pump action is simple to run and easy to teach, and Mossberg's 500 platform is common enough that parts and accessories are everywhere.

OD green is a break from black, and it does a fine job of hiding dirt.

Pattern your home defense load at the distance you would use it, and keep the gun stored safely.

New. Ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for pickup and the background check.
