Mossberg 50798 590A1 NFA 12 Gauge 14" 6-Round Cerakote Shotgun

The Mossberg 50798 590A1 NFA 12 Gauge 14" 6-Round Cerakote Shotgun is a short-barreled shotgun purpose-built for tactical, law enforcement, and defensive applications where confined spaces and rapid deployment are operational requirements. This NFA-regulated firearm bridges the gap between full-size combat shotguns and breaching tools, offering the terminal ballistics of a 12-gauge platform with the ergonomic footprint demanded by vehicle entries, building clearance, and close-quarters engagement. The 590A1 lineage carries proven reliability from decades of military and police service worldwide.

Built on Mossberg's legendary 590 action, this variant features a 14-inch barrel that reduces overall length to 33.75 inches—critical for shoulder transitions in tight quarters—while maintaining sufficient velocity for buckshot and slugs. The 6-round capacity with top-load magazine tube allows rapid reloads during extended engagements without necessitating full unloading cycles. Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance and durability compared to traditional parkerizing, essential for duty weapons exposed to harsh environmental conditions, saltwater, and high-round-count training cycles. The robust twin-action bars and ventilated barrel rib ensure consistent cycling under stress and permit addition of tactical accessories.

This shotgun serves law enforcement breach teams, correctional tactical units, and civilian defensive shooters who have registered the appropriate NFA tax stamp and secured local authorization for short-barreled shotgun ownership. The 10.4-pound weight distribution and compact dimensions make it suitable for mounted or slung carry in vehicles and tactical loadouts. Users should ensure familiarity with NFA regulations, state-specific SBS laws, and local licensing requirements before purchase, as this firearm is subject to federal registration and applicable state restrictions. The Cerakote durability and proven action design make this platform ideal for high-volume training and duty use.
