To celebrate the company's 100th anniversary, Mossberg is releasing its Model 500 Persuader model with attractive, wood furniture. This Mossberg Retrograde provides fans of classic, wood-stocked shotguns with a modern-day alternative that's still ready for duty use. Though the stock and corncob forend are all made from walnut wood and the metal features a rich, blued finish, don't let those elements make you think this gun isn't ready for duty use. The Mossberg 500 Persuader Retrograde is still equipped with a solid, cylinder-bore barrel topped with a brass-bead front sight.
- Barrel length: 18.5 inches
- Overall length: 39.5 inches
- Weight: 6.75 pounds
- Plain muzzle with cylinder-bore barrel
The under-barrel tube magazine on the Mossberg 500 Persuader Retrograde holds five rounds, giving shotgunners a maximum capacity of six shells in this compact package.
