Mossberg FLEX Shotguns
“Flex your Mossberg.” Get ready to read and hear that sentence a lot this year. It will be everywhere.
Last night, the company rolled out its FLEX line as a new concept in modular shotguns and accessories, using something called TLS (Tool-less Locking System). Simply, it means you can customize your shotgun from 11 different base 500 and 590 models with a modular system that allows you to change out stocks, forends, recoil pads and accessories, all without using a single tool.
The base models are designed for all-purpose, hunting and tactical configurations, but with the various quick-attach components, you can change a totally black model 500 from a home-defense-geared, short, stockless, pistol grip pump to a full-length, stocked camo turkey gun in about a minute. I know, I watched them do it. No screwdrivers, no allen wrenches. Just your fingers and whatever extra components you choose to buy.
No matter what, the Mossberg Flex line will allow for more shotgun applications in one gun for far less cost and effort than ever before.
