Hey guys,

New guy here from Orlando. Will hopefully be purchasing my first Mossberg shotgun ever (always had Remingtons) and it will hopefully be a 590A1.

Only debate now is whether to get the pistol grip 590 with breach barrel and then add a regular stock onto it, or go for the Blackwater 590A1 my local place has and sacrifice the breach barrel for the better sights and higher capacity.

If anybody has any input in the next hour or so, I'd appreciate it. They only have one of each left so I'll be getting there right as they open.

Either way, I'll post up pics of my final choice.

Cheers!

Thanks for the quick welcome!

I guess my problem is I don't know what my preference is. Such a debate. Love the look and weight of the breach barrel, but also like everything else about the Blackwater.

If you don't mind me asking in here, would I be able to get the Blackwater and then simply purchase a breach barrel as an add-on? I imagine they are incredibly hard to find these days, though.

Thanks again, Mike!

I believe you can can buy the barrel separate, I cannot commenton availability.

I am not as familiar with the 590, depending on configuration you may need to swap out the magazine tube as well, but I'm not sure offhand. There are others here much more knowledgable with this model than I.

Thank you, sir!

I pulled the trigger on a brand new, never opened Blackwater 590A1 (51772). Only one they had still in the box.

Thanks again for the welcomes. Now I'm even more stoked to have found the site...my wallet, on the other hand... :shock:

Thank you! Sorry for the delay on that one.

I need to keep my wallet at home or something...I already bought the Eltezza light mount and the Mako/Fab Defense M4-style collapsible stock. Should be here Friday.

Still shopping around for some shells to keep in it. :D

Hey guys,

Figured since this is the definition of a newbie question, I'd keep it in this thread...

Just now getting around to installing my Fab Defense/Mako stock and tinkering with the gun a little. It's fresh out of the box and for the life of me, I can't get the safety to disengage. Does it come tightened down by the screw, or is it maybe just so tight given that it's brand new that I'll need to use something to apply enough pressure to it to get it to toggle?

Just don't want to start hammering it with a screwdriver (exaggeration) if I don't need to.

Thanks much!
