One other feature difference that may seem like a minor issue but could be a big deal in a “situation” is the placement of the slide release button and the safety. There is a lug atop the bolt that locks into an extension at the back of the barrel when the action is closed. The action lock-up in the Mossberg is steel-to-steel anyway. Since most homeowner-type users will not put anywhere near that many rounds through the gun, it’s an academic argument as to whether the aluminum receivers are durable enough. The Mossberg passed a 3000-round torture test without any problems. For most users, this probably won’t matter. Mossberg’s receivers are made from aluminum, and Remington uses steel. The main difference between the Mossberg and the Remington is the material used for the receiver. The rear sight is well-protected inside a base that has two prominent heavy-gauge steel “ears” on the sides. This model is fitted with a ghost-ring rear sight and a day-glo orange rifle front sight. It also features a 9-shot magazine and a bayonet mount that is compatible with any bayonets that fit AR-15s and M16s. It features a heavy-walled 20” barrel (that the accessory heat shields don’t fit), a metal trigger assembly and a metal safety button (these two items are plastic on other models). This particular model is the military version of the venerable Mossberg 500/590 family of pump-action shotguns. The one noticeable difference between the two (aside from sight issues) was that the buckshot pattern from the Mossberg was much tighter than the Remington’s.īoth guns have been accessorized and those details will be covered in more detail in the reviews. It printed even lower at 25 yards, which indicates that the rear sight elevation simply needs some fine tuning. One additional round of slug was fired from the Mossberg at 25 yards to check the sight adjustment, as it printed low with the slug round at 7 yards.
slug at 7 yards, and a few clay pigeons for good measure. The course of fire consisted of one 2 ¾” 00 Buck shell at 7 yards, one 2 ¾” 1 oz. We took these two out to do a short comparison test. A Brief Comparison and Review – Mossberg 590A1 and Remington 870 Tactical
