| The Mossberg 500 and 590 series shotguns are the most popular shotguns on the planet. They come in every configuration and color you could imagine, and Mossberg has just introduced a new system called “FLEX” that allows you to make your 500 or 590 into any other configuration you want with no tools. You just have to buy the parts, then they clip in based on a new attaching system. The buttstock, foregrip, and pistol grip can be swapped in and out with no effort at all. And as with all 500/590 guns, the barrel is easy to swap out. So you can go from a duck gun to a home defense gun in about 30 seconds, all on the same receiver. The base price on the FLEX guns in the 500 looks to be just under $600 MSRP, and the 590 Tactical 9 shot with the rail front has an MSRP of $816. Hopefully we’ll get a review gun at some point to check out these new modular guns from Mossberg. It is a great idea and they should be a big success. |

| No word yet on when these guns will be available for sale, but we expect them soon. |

pretty darn cool! About time they leaped forward. Good job!
I just got a 590 this past summer. Will it “FLEX” or is this something different?
Hopefully we will find out if Mossberg is going to sell the hardware to adapt existing 500 and 590 guns to the new FLEX system. I expect they will.
Awesome!!
Sure hope you’ll be able to use the attachment system to retro-fit to existing receivers. Otherwise I’ll be going with the original plan of a ATI adjustable buttstock…
Cool!
If you follow the link, it appears the Flex attachment stub is what you bolt to the rifle, and then attach the stocks to that. So I don’t see why it couldn’t be retro-fitted. The forend appears the same way, there is a sub-part that attaches to the slide rails, that the modular part locks onto. I hope to see them in stores so I can play with one.
Looks like Mossberg is moving to top of the pack in pump shotguns ! Wish I had one on my 590a1 !
Were they ever not at the top of the pack?
Hope they will I have a Mossy at home with 28″ barrel with chokes from skeet thru xtra full. If they make the add ons that will fit it this will be my one shotgun. House gun unless I head out to do a little hunting. That would be pretty neat!
Alan Mossberg just lives down the way from me, we met at a local gun shop where I was explaining the 590a1s advantages over the Remmington 870. We all know the 500 and 590 both are based off a model 37, that Mossberg made work 10x better! Its an FAMILY OWNED AND OPPERATED BUISNESS!!!!! FIELD PROVEN SINCE 1919 And it wont FTE in sub zero temps, something the 870s known for. And no studder durring rapid fire like the 870. Ive got alot of friends at MOSSBERG. And yes the FLEX SYSTOM parts will be availible for other 500s and 590s later on this year, so ive bin told. Remmember support your small buisnessmen in this country! Ohhh yeah customer service is one of the best in the gun industry, if not the best!!! JUST BUY ONE, THATS ALL IT TAKES!
Wow! Great integrated system… this should further lock in Moss’s future marketplace… hard to invest elsewhere, with this capability: on my “buy” list now!
if there’s a retro fit for exsisting 500 and 590 ‘s i’m in!!
Please, please, keep pursuing whether or not Mossberg will do something so I can use this modular gear on my existing 590 Persuader.
How much do you guys think the attachment for preexisting guns is gonna cost?
Will the Mossberg 500/590 feed the Aguila 1-1/2 inch or Centurion 2 inch shot shell?
Wow, just found my replacement for my old Remington!! Going out right now to buy two!! Excellent. My cousin just got home from overseas and will love it.
