    It’s the standard shotgun like the Mossberg 500 before it. Pretty much cannot malfunction, simple, every part is cheap and widely available, good stuff.

      Yep, its the shotgun stereotype for a reason, simple, effective, pretty darn affordable too, and depending on the variant you get, can serve as a solid base to trick out or modify with aftermarket stuff.

        First weapon I gunsmithed was a Revelations, sold in Western Auto stores in the 70s and 80s, literally shot orange mist when fired.

        Had no clue what I was doing, information was thin on the internet. Once I found out it was a rebranded Mossberg 500, off to the races. That thing rattles and clanks and clicks like a Hollywood gun, can’t fail unless I short stroke it. Replaced nothing except for the magazine spring (too rusty to restore, tried).

        Anyway, it’s the same gun with the newer 590 being more tacticool and durable in that respect. Am old, sticking with my 500.
