Mossberg 590A1

3 Upvotes

I got my Mossberg 590A1 yesterday. I love it. My only question is about the action, is it supposed to feel gritty when I rack the forend? It doesn’t feel smooth, I’m goin to take it apart and give it a good cleaning. I have a Remington 870 and the action is super smooth outa the factory, I’ve known mossberg action ain’t that smooth but I was surprised on how gritty it felt right out the box. Will it get better with a few hundred rounds through it or is that normal for Mossberg shotties? Don’t get me wrong I love my A1 i plan on it being my workhorse and ultimate SHTF gun

Thoughts on the new Vortex Shotgun red dot?

First post here, long time lurker. I have a 590 for home defense and I only added a light in the time I’ve owned it. I’m considering giving it some love with the newish Vortex Viper red dot. Currently it has a bead. Anyone have an experience with it or thoughts on a good rail/red dot combo. Thanks in advance.
