Since 1919, Mossberg has been the leader in introducing important design breakthroughs to the firearm industry. Many product features pioneered by Mossberg are now the standards by which all modern firearms are judged. Never content with the status quo, their team constantly strives to improve and update the capabilities of all Mossberg products. In accomplishing this goal, they recognize that each improvement is a part of the “Shooting System” approach and most are designed to fit the shotgun you bought years ago. Their design and innovative edge is truly changing the way shooters use shotguns and rifles. They are particularly proud that their Mossberg pump shotguns are the only shotguns purchased by the United States government that meet or exceed Mil-S-3443 specifications. It is this basis of unquestionable quality that drives Mossberg to bring reliable, well-built shooting systems to you at an affordable price. The shooting sports have been an American tradition for generations. Today, thousands of sportsmen and sportswomen focus their energy on the betterment of the shooting sports by participating in national and local organizations. They sincerely appreciate these efforts, and they salute all future members for continuing their proud heritage.
