WTB - Mossberg 590A1

[gunlock]

I am looking for a Mossberg 590 A1 18.5" or 20" shotgun, preferably parkerized with ghost ring sights. Stock not a big concern. Please PM me with details.

Thanks.

Hope you find one. I sure like mine. Just the 590 though, not the A1. ghost rings are great.

Thanks for the well wishes. I was wondering if the ghost rings sights were worth it. I've seen a few 590A1's, but they don't have the sights on em so I've never been able to test them out. Are they a big advantage over bead?

They are very worth it to me. The wings do the same thing that a narrow hallway does. Your eyes naturally focus there then pick up the aparture sight at the rear & your eye naturally centers the front sight there. It is designed to take full advantage of what you eye will naturally do to focus on something Only disadvantage at all is in real dark.

Thanks for the information!

In the meantime, does anybody know how to determine the mossberg stock number of the shotgun? Like model 51663 etc? I was hoping it would be stamped on the gun or box or something, but I am unable to find one. Someone is looking to sell me a shotgun, but I can't determine the model other than it has M590A1 stamped in the side.

Help?
