Firstly, Mossberg highlights features from two of the most iconic police and military pump-action shotguns in history. As a result, bringing back the look and feel of the walnut stock and matching corncob fore-end creates a unique shotgun line.

Mossberg, after more than 50 years of production, has built more than 12 million shotguns on the 500 platform, an extraordinary number. Moreover, the only pump-action shotgun to pass the U.S. military’s Mil-Spec tests, the 500 has proven tough and reliable.

Mossberg Retrograde Series Features

Both the 500 Persuader Retrograde and 590A1 Retrograde feature Mossberg’s combination of non-binding twin action bars, dual extractors, positive steel-to-steel lock-up and anti-jam elevator. Also, the anodized aluminum receivers and ambidextrous top-mounted safety should be familiar to Mossberg fans.

The 500 Persuader Retrograde utilizes an 18.5-inch barrel, cylinder bore and is topped with a dingle front brass bead sight. Also, the 590A1 is built to Mil-Spec standards, has a nine-round magazine capacity, 20-inch heavy-walled barrel, heat shield, bayonet lug and ghost ring sights.

Above all, each model stands out with the timeless wood furniture and corncob fore-end. The 500 Persuader Retrograde retails for $504, while the 590A1 Retrograde comes in at $902.
